Modern Times Group, (MTG), the owner of the Viasat direct-to-home (DTH) platform, is claiming a key victory over its Nordic DTH rival Canal Digital. It just announced that its application to the Swedish Market Court for an injunction to prohibit Canal Digital from mentioning Viasat’s TV3, ZTV and TV8 entertainment channels in its marketing material has been successful.
According to MTG, Canal Digital notified the Market Court that it has changed its marketing, telling the Court that the Viasat Channels will not be used in future marketing campaigns or materials.
