On the Viva channel
Sky channel 357
UPC 709
Bellator MMA will now be available on television for the first time to the many passionate mixed martial arts (MMA) fans in the UK, as it was announced by Bjorn Rebney, Bellator CEO and Kevin Kay, Spike TV President.
Viacom’s popular VIVA channel (Sky channel 357) will begin airing live Bellator fights in the UK on Wednesday June 19th, as part of the MMA league’s summer series tournament featuring a stacked card including King Mo, “Babalu” Sobral and War Machine. In September, VIVA will telecast Bellator MMA’s 9th season.
Bellator’s foray into the UK market increases their global reach to 116 countries and territories. Available in every one of the UK’s 26 million TV households, VIVA has one of the highest profiles amongst 16 to 34-year-olds of any UK channel, with 50% of its audience comprised of that hard-to-reach demographic and one in four of that age group in the UK – 3.7 million viewers – tuning in to the channel each month. Bellator is the first mixed martial arts franchise to be televised on the channel.
