World: Amsterdam - John de Mol backs launch of TV station

John de Mol, the creator of the TV series Big Brother, is backing the launch of a new Dutch TV station called Talpa.

The channel will broadcast a combination of reality TV shows, entertainment programmes and exclusive sporting events, including Dutch Premier League highlights, which Talpa secured in a E 30 million-a-year deal.

As well as TV programming, Talpa will also broadcast a combination of radio and interactive content using cable and high-speed internet connection.

Advertisers approached by de Mol are thought to be extremely interested in the venture but are remaining cautious until a full programme schedule is released.
