[edit] Distribution
Wild TV was launched in September 2004. It initially began with limited coverage, mainly distributed through a few smaller cable distributors including Access Cable and Westman Communications. Wild TV lacked clout with major cable carriers due to its programming genre and being owned by a one channel operation rather than a large commercial entity operating many channels. However, in recent years Wild TV has begun to expand its carriage across Canada, reaching carriage deals with major cable companies including Cogeco, Rogers Cable, Bell TV and Shaw Direct where Wild TV is carried as a full service and Shaw Cable where content is carried on Shaw's video on-demand (VOD) service.
[edit] International Broadcast
[edit] New Zealand
Wild TV reached its first international distribution agreement with TelstraClear in New Zealand. It first aired on July 1, 2009 on TelstraClear's InHomeTV service (Channel 39).
Wild TV ceased broadcasting on TelstraClear during June/July 2010, only a year after its launch.
[edit] Europe
In 2010 and 2011, Wild TV launched in several European markets including Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Slovenia.[1]
[edit] Wild TV HD
On January 28, 2010, Wild TV HD launched as a high definition simulcast of Wild TV's standard definition feed. It is currently available on Rogers Cable, MTS, Optik TV and SaskTel.
