“Sky Angel’s Subscription VOD channels provide an exciting way to offer appealing content. Horse lovers nationwide will enjoy watching programs that highlight the best equestrian action, entertainment and horse-oriented shows the sport offers. HorseTV joins a growing “stable” of SVOD channels that brings a whole new viewing option to Sky Angel’s subscribers,” says Darren Moorman, Vice President — On-Demand Programming.
