AUCKLAND, 1 October 2012 – The Shopping Channel, New Zealand’s first and only dedicated retailing TV channel, will open
for business tonight, broadcasting live from 7.00pm, on Channel 18 on both Freeview and Sky TV.
Alistair Duff, CEO of The Shopping Channel, says that today is an historic day for both retailing and broadcasting in
New Zealand.
“The Shopping Channel is the department store Kiwi women have always wanted in their homes. We will bring a wide variety
of brands to New Zealand that wouldn’t normally be accessible to New Zealanders with a great team of presenters, with
familiar and new faces, to sell the products."
The Shopping Channel presenters include Monty Betham, Fiona McDonald, Candy Lane, Lucy Gallaugher and Mike Puru, among
others.
In addition, The Shopping Channel will be hosting Hollywood celebrity Eva Longoria live on air at 7.30pm this Thursday 4
