audiovisual landscape.

For the viewer, this agreement is excellent news indeed. It is now possible to watch all MEDIALAAN programmes linearly via Yelo TV, and to manage recordings on tablet, PC or Smartphone. For MEDIALAAN, this means a substantial expansion of their viewing range. After all, about 400,000 Telenet customers make regular use of the Yelo TV app and/or website.

Telenet will make every effort to enhance Yelo TV with VTM, 2BE, Vitaya, VTMKZOOM and JIM before the summer of 2014. Slightly delayed viewing will also be possible in the future, and other innovations with regard to the television experience will be developed together.

Peter Bossaert, CEO of MEDIALAAN:"I'm very pleased with this agreement.TV viewing habits are changing dramatically, and that's good news, because people watch TV more than ever.Together, MEDIALAAN and Telenet will now seize the opportunity to develop this growth market further, and to update and innovate the existing television services at no additional cost for the viewer.We believe that cooperation between our companies creates value.We needed a little time for this, and have worked hard on it over the past few months.But I'm pleased that we've been able to make a clean break with the past and can look to the future once again."

John Porter, CEO Telenet:"I'm extremely pleased and proud that we have come to a new agreement after a long period of negotiations - in which the viewer is clearly the winner.We have found each other as key local partners, and are now ready to make every effort to leverage further growth in the Flemish media landscape.Thanks to this new cooperation, we can offer all MEDIALAAN channels to our customers on all our platforms, and, in this way, ensure a rock-solid and complete television experience."
