Travel Channel International is a British satellite television channel, transmitting 24 hours a day in 21 languages across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. It is operated by Travel Channel International Limited (TCI) - a company headquartered in London. On 22 March 2012, Scripps Networks Interactive announced that it had agreed to pay £65m (US$102.7m) to acquire Travel Channel International Limited. The deal is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2012 pending regulatory approval.

Overview

The channel mainly airs programming involving travel, such as guides to holiday planning, and traditional documentary programming about destinations, cuisine, culture, nature and shopping, along with other types of travel such as backpacking, culinary tourism, ecotourism and luxury tourism.

Travel Channel was launched in 1994 and it uses 20 satellite feeds to reach over 850 cable, satellite and IPTV platforms in 125 territories. A second sister channel, Travel Channel 2 launched on Sky Digital on 11 February 2008 but closed on 2 March 2009 when the EPG slot was sold to Style Network.

TCI operates the following channels:

Travel Channel HD (EMEA, HD) Travel Channel (EMEA, SD) Travel Channel (UK, SD) Travel Channel (Germany, SD) Travel Channel (Asia, SD/HD simulcast) Travel Channel (New Zealand, SD)

Travel Channel International began to offer their high definition channel, Travel Channel HD, throughout Europe and consequently Asia on 15 November 2010. The UK Travel Channel currently doesn't carry an HD simulcast. Currently, the American and UK Travel Channels remain unrelated as the sale to Scripps goes through regulatory channels.
