    MGM Networks announced the launch of a local version of MGM Channel in Slovenia on March 31.

    The new channel is available on UPC.

    MGM Channel Central and Eastern Europe (MGM CEE) is owned 50/50 by MGM Networks and LGI Ventures (an investment business of Liberty Global, Inc.). Phil Mordecai has been named to the post of General Manager of MGM CEE effective next month and will operate out of MGM CEE's headquarters in Munich.

    The MGM Channel broadcasts in eight languages, in Russia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Moldova, Albania, Belarus and the former Yugoslavia. After its launch in Russia in late 2004, MGM began expanding across Central Europe in 2006.
