Interactive services and content provider YooMedia has secured a deal to launch its interactive bingo-style channel, Avago, on NTL's digital cable platform early next year.

The live-studio presented interactive gambling channel allows viewers to play along for fun or for real.

YooMedia has agreed with NTL to launch other video and graphics play for fun/real games behind the channel in 2006.

YooMedia's Group Managing Director, Neil MacDonald, said: "Expanding our popular interactive gaming and betting channel, Avago, onto ntl's platform is a breakthrough for the Group. With over 200,000 registered account holders, Avago is gaining recognition all the time. We believe that this deal will contribute greatly to its continued success."

Avago will feature within NTL's Base Pack.
