International news channel Euronews has strengthened its position across Australasia with the channel’s launch on 1 September in New Zealand.

The English-language version of the channel is available on Stratos TV and Triangle TV, with blocks of 30 to 60 minutes in the morning and evening. Stratos is available nationally via free-to-air on both the Sky satellite and Freeview platforms. Triangle TV is a regional terrestrial broadcaster covering Auckland and Wellington.

On 4 September, Euronews reached subscribers to TransACT’s cable broadband network in Canberra, Australia’s federal capital. This supplements Euroenews’ existing distribution on Selectv and Canal Satellite New Caledonia covering Australia.
