Insight Communications will be the first to launch the Discovery Kids programming as part of its Kids Unlimited package.

Discovery’s VOD content is also available to TVN’s VOD affiliates, including Comcast, Charter, Adelphia, Cablevision and Mediacom, as well as several other US and Canadian MSOs.

“The addition of Discovery Networks to our list of over 40 networks highlights TVN’s commitment to incorporating high quality content into the VOD universe and to expanding usage of the VOD category overall,” said Jim Riley, TVN’s Senior Vice President of Business Development. “With the addition of Discovery, our MSO partners now receive the most valuable and comprehensive VOD content offering available including major motion pictures, all premium networks, basic networks, adult, advertising and VOD exclusive product.”

“Insight is a leader in revenue generating models for VOD, and TVN’s comprehensive service and open platform allow Discovery Networks to quickly and efficiently roll out our product to Insight and other MSO partners,” said Clint Stinchcomb, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Discovery HD Theater and On-Demand Television Content. “We are excited to work with our Affiliates and TVN to create value in the emerging on-demand market – with one of the strongest brands in television.”

TVN will make all of the content available via a single satellite transponder and delivered to a single TVN docking station located at the cable headend, making it the most efficient VOD content solution available in the industry. Utilizing TVN’s asset management system, ADONISS, Discovery can remotely track its on-demand assets--from encoding to upload on their affiliates’ VOD servers, as well as metadata management, reporting, and deletion verification.
