Movies from Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films available on FASTWEB's VoD
Milan, 17 February 2005 - The choice of movies available to FASTWEB's TV subscribers is further enriched as of this month. Indeed, FASTWEB clients with Video-on-Demand will be able to enjoy selected movies distributed by Buena Vista International Television (BVITV) on their TV sets at home thanks to a multi-year contract signed between FASTWEB and BVITV, the company that distributes movies from Walt Disney Pictures, Miramax Films and Touchstone Pictures.
The deal is breakthrough because each year it will be possible to choose from approximately forty blockbuster titles (for example: Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Finding Neverland, The Ladykillers, Starsky & Hutch, King Arthur, National Treasure) and a library of approximately 50 famous titles.
"Thanks to the agreement with BVITV" said Stefano Parisse, Director of the Business and Residential Division and CEO of the subsidiary e.BisMedia, "FASTWEB TV has an even more diversified and enriched selection of movies. With the recent introduction of Disney Channel and the debut of BVITV's movies on Video-on-Demand, FASTWEB TV is evermore the ideal family television with programmes for all age groups".
The agreement with BVITV follows those already signed with other important majors like Universal, Dreamworks, Fox and Medusa, which give access to more than 1,400 titles. FASTWEB subscribers may also view the titles available from RaiClick, e.Biscom's partnership with RAI (the Italian state broadcaster), another VoD facility that brings the total number of titles to over 5000.
