[Gregg Lengling]

Zone Vision Enterprises, an international media company based in London, has partnered with EchoStar to deliver a new channel - Reality TV - to subscribers of DISH Network's America Network's Top 150 programming package. Debut of the channel is expected before the end of the year.

The new channel builds off the success of Zone Vision's Reality TV channels distributed throughout Europe, the United Kingdom, Africa, Asia-Pacific, India and Latin America. The channel will feature first-run reality series, classic reality series and U.S. premieres of reality programming from around the world, the company said.

Reality TV also will feature original productions and series produced exclusively for the channel. Zone Vision said it currently has programming agreements with international distributors such as CBS, GRB Entertainment, RDF Media and Rive Gauche International Television.
