Dori Media Group (DMG) has extended its long-term agreement with YES, the leading DBS television provider in Israel, for extended carriage of its two dedicated Telenovela TV channels, VIVA and VIVA Platina.

The agreement for VIVA, which is DMG's main channel and is carried as part of YES's basic package, has been extended for two additional years, from 2008 to the end of 2010. The agreement for VIVA Platina, DMG's premium pay channel and weekend broadcast service, has been extended for four years until the end of 2010. The terms of both agreements remain unchanged.

"We are delighted to announce the extension of our TV channel Carriage agreement with YES, which provides TV access to more than half a million customers in Israel and has been our partner since the launch of our TV channels," says Nadav Palti, the president and CEO of Dori Media Group. "Our VIVA brand is very strong and successful in Israel thanks to its unique high-quality telenovela content and the loyal audience it has been able to capture and maintain."

Palti added that "We have already replicated this dedicated business model in Indonesia with our Televiva Vision 2 channel and look forward to extending our TV network in other suitable markets around the world."

In Israel, Dori Media Group owns and operates the VIVA TV channels and the Darset Productions production company. In 2005, VIVA was measured as the fourth most popular television channel in Israel. Dori Media Group is controlled by Mapal Communications.
