Super Channel Cable Television Network

NBC, in a big push toward global television, has acquired a majority interest in Super Channel, a Pan-European satellite and cable channel that reaches nearly 60 million homes. Super Channel is one of Europe's largest satellite and cable channels, but it has consistently lost money since its launch in 1987 as operating costs have far outstripped the network's modest advertising revenue.
