Pulse introduces martial arts blocks
Published Tuesday, Jul 8 2008, 09:18 BST | By Dave West
Gaming channel Pulse is introducing blocks of martial arts programming to its schedules.
The service, which already airs male entertainment content under "branded blocks" named MavTV, will broadcast Martial Arts TV from 5pm to 6pm and 11pm to midnight.
Content, provided by the existing web channel with the same name, will include features on Thai kick boxing, interviews with martial arts stars, hints and tips and international martial arts news.
The broadcasters said the move could potentially lead to a full-time satellite version of Martial Arts TV.
Pulse channel manager Ray Mia said: "Martial Arts TV will bring a new element to the growing mix of Pulse brands. The combination of profiling sporting pros and offering advice for beginners should ensure we reach martial arts devotees and general gaming fans alike."
Pulse broadcasts on digital satellite and is listed at 208 on the Sky electronic programme guide.
