BRAVA HD; THE MUST TO GET channel for opera, ballet and classical-music lovers... in full HD.

"The channel has decided to concentrate on music and spectacles, and doesn't broadcast any documentary, talk-show or news items like Arte and Mezzo" says Jur Bron, Brava HDTV Content Manager.  "Brava HDTV is available 24/24, 7/7. You have a first-row seat giving you access to an extraordinary spectacle with top class artists and musicians."

 

Unlike its competitors, Brava HDTV is free of advertising. The programs are not interrupted by commercials to guarantee a maximum comfort to its demanding subscribers.

Brava HDTV can be received by cable, DSL, satellite on several platforms in Europe and is currently negotiating some new contracts that will make the channel available around the world.

Brava HDT started its activities in July 2007 on the local cable network of CAIW in the Netherlands. On November 15, 2007 the Belgian cable platform INDI started distributing Brava HDTV. Talks are underway for distribution of Brava HDTV in Ireland, Poland and Switzerland in the near future. Brava HDTV is also available in major parts of Europe through the ADSL "Ziggo" since January 2008 and the dutch-operated "CanalDigitaal" since April 2008. Brava is also available through Numericable in France and in Belgium (Coditel) since July 2008.
