Viceland to launch in multiple countries
The rapid growth of the new TV channel makes Viceland the "fastest growing television network in history."
Speaking at a press conference at the Cannes Lions advertising festival, CEO Shane Smith said, "When I first announced Viceland was going to launch in 12 countries in 12 months everyone rolled their eyes.
"It turns out they were right, we were wrong. We didn't do 12 countries in 12 months; we did 44 countries in four months."
