BBC Worldwide has launched a global entertainment channel, BBC HD, the company’s first channel produced exclusively for cruise ships and the wider maritime market.
It will go live through Global Eagle Entertainment’s (GEE) MTN TV network, with P&O Cruises and Cunard being the first to offer the channel. The channel offers BBC content and complements BBC World News, which launched on MTN TV in 2010 and is available on cruise ships throughout the world.
