BITE Television gets interactive Emmy nod


MISSISSAUGA, ON – Canada’s digital specialty channel BITE Television has been nominated for an international Emmy in the Interactive Channel category.

BITE Television’s content consists of user-generated, acquired and in-house short-form productions. The three- to five-minute edgy shows target the 18 to 34-year-old male demographic. Last week, the channel finalized an agreement to provide Amp’d Mobile with short-form content.

“While we are still a very young company, it’s great to be internationally recognized,” said company president and CEO Jeffrey Elliott.

Mississauga-based BITE Television, which launched in April 2005, is available on channel 322 on Rogers Cable, channel 123 on Cogeco, channel 170 on Videotron and channel 186 on Telus TV. It is also distributed by Canada’s wireless carriers and its website is www.bitetv.ca.
