Gala TV Launches with Sharon Osbourne and Live Bingo
Gala Bingo, part of the Gala Coral Group and the industry's leading bingo operator, has launched Gala TV, the first live interactive bingo television channel with Sharon Osbourne joining in on the fun and games!
Gala Bingo has teamed-up with Endemol UK, a leading producer of entertainment television, to produce Gala TV, which is available on Sky Digital Channel 841. This interactive live bingo and gaming channel is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and includes 8 hours of live, presenter-led bingo between 5pm - 1am daily. These live bingo sessions combine experienced bingo callers, who have been selected from Gala Bingo's clubs across the UK and include Brett Hyjrak, the NBGA Caller of The Year from Surrey Quays, with experienced TV presenters.
Sharon Osbourne is also the face of interactive bingo in your home, by featuring on Gala TV and on Galabingo.co.uk.
Existing Galabingo.co.uk players do not have to re-register to play on Gala TV as they will be able to use their Internet account membership details to access the service. New players can simply tune in to Gala TV and register to play directly through their remote control. Viewers can then play the live bingo and interactive games by using the red button on their remote control.
Dominic Harrison, E-Commerce Managing Director for Gala Coral Group comments:
"At Gala we are delighted to offer bingo lovers another way to play the game they enjoy, especially as it is a first for the industry and with Sharon Osbourne agreeing to be involved. Gala TV is a further advance for the Gala Bingo brand and gives our customers the options to 'feel the buzz' of playing bingo on TV as well as in the clubs and online.
"We hope that our existing bingo community will try Gala TV and we welcome those who possibly haven't tried bingo before to tune in to Sky Digital channel 841."
