The Padel Time TV FAST channel, which recently secured a deal to launch in India, is expanding into the U.K., securing carriage on Samsung TV Plus.
Laurent Dumeau’s LDI Media brokered the U.K. deal for the niche sports FAST channel, which is also available in the Middle East via DU and OSN+ and LatAm across multiple platforms. It also has carriage in France, Greece, Cyprus, and South Africa. Live coverage includes the US Pro Padel League (USPPL), the Asia Pacific Padel Tour (APPT), the Hexagon Cup and selected FIP tournaments across Europe. The channel also delivers instructional content, documentaries, and lifestyle programming.
Arnaud Verlhac, co-founder of Padel Time TV, said, “The U.K. is a key market for us and, with Samsung our ideal launch partner for the channel in this territory, we’re excited to bring the best of padel programming here. Padel Time TV has tapped into a deep popularity globally with dedicated sports-based content, which is a significant trend seeing huge growth. We aim to offer an unrivaled insight into the world of padel with access behind the scenes as well as original content that really gives both competitive and recreational fans high-value engagement.”
