Super Channel has inked a multi-year output deal with Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution that will see the pay-TV upstart air titles including the Jason Reitman comedy Juno and summer box-office hit The Simpsons Movie.
The deal was reached between Gina Brogi, Fox’s SVP of worldwide pay television, and Sandy Perkins, Super Channel’s VP of programming. Super Channel is owned by Alberta-based Allarco Entertainment.
Super Channel has, since its launch in November, been at pains to drum up marketable programming in order to compete with Movie Central and The Movie Network.
Other titles on the roster include the Bruce Willis vehicle Live Free or Die Hard, the family comedy Alvin and the Chipmunks, the fantasy adventure Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and romantic comedy Waitress.
‘This new Fox-Allarco film agreement is an exciting way to bring Fox movies to Canadian viewers nationwide,’ commented Brogi in a release.
‘We are thrilled to have signed with Twentieth Century Fox…this agreement brings Super Channel a significant number of excellent movies and allows us to continue to offer our viewers more choice,’ added Perkins.
