Rula Lenska will be presenting the gardening section

A new retail TV channel has just launched in Acton and will be broadcast both on-air and online.

Shopping Nation, based at the Acton Park Industrial Estate, The Vale, is headed by former children's presenter Julian Ballantyne and Debbie Greenwood, who was once a Miss Great Britain and later went on to work at BBC Breakfast.

The channel will also feature a host of celebrity presenters including star of film, radio, TV and stage, Rula Lenska. Having been involved with everything from EastEnders to Celebrity Big Brother, Rula now makes her debut into the world of Shopping TV by heading up the gardening team on Shopping Nation. Shopping Nation will provide a forum for Rula to showcase her passion for gardening as well as sharing her fountain of knowledge; tips and tricks on how to make your garden a success.

CEO Julian Ballantyne says “We’re a small, close knit team – what we lack in size we make up for with a passion for what we do, with a combined 120 years of teleshopping experience across our little team.

''Our products come from a range of suppliers, many of them small, family-run businesses. We look forward to growing together and can’t wait to share these up-and-coming brands with our viewers. We love their products, and we know you will too.”

The channel can be seen on Sky 681, 7 days a week between the hours of 8am – 12am.
