TV Polsat marks 25 years of satellite broadcasting with new
capacity at Poland's leading video neighbourhood
Regulatory News:
Cyfrowy Polsat Group, Poland’s leading media and
telecommunications group, today signed a long-term contract with
Eutelsat Communications (Paris:ETL) (NYSE Euronext Paris: ETL) for
the lease of multiple transponders. The agreement covers the
extension of existing capacity and expansion at the HOTBIRD video
position. This new contract for capacity at Poland’s most popular
video neighbourhood consolidates a collaboration that began in 1992
with the launch of Polsat, Poland’s first commercial channel, on a
Eutelsat satellite.
The new contract adds 33 MHz to the capacity already used at the
HOTBIRD position by Cyfrowy Polsat, Poland’s largest satellite
platform and pay-TV operator and TV Polsat, the leading commercial
broadcaster in Poland. The capacity will support the continued
expansion of digital entertainment services and raise the bar for
enhanced image quality. TV Polsat provides 24 popular channels
under its brand and Cyfrowy Polsat offers approximately 180
channels, including over 80 in HD, in 4.8 million pay-TV
subscriptions.
Dariusz Działkowski, CTO at Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. and Telewizja
Polsat Sp. z o.o., said: “As Poland's leading media group and the
largest pay-TV platform, we have always placed the quality of our
services among our priorities and their regular development as one
of the main goals of our business strategy. The new satellite
capacity and long-term cooperation with a reliable partner create a
stable environment and give us a lot of comfort in these two
areas.”
Michel Azibert, Eutelsat Deputy CEO and Chief Commercial &
Development Officer, added: "The launch of Polsat on a Eutelsat
satellite 25 years ago heralded the beginning of a multi-channel
market that has evolved into a vibrant and innovative business
offering viewers the benefits of quality, choice and diversity, and
has seen Cyfrowy Polsat grow into one of Europe’s largest pay-TV
platforms. We are proud to cement our collaboration with a new
contract that underscores the continuing leadership of the HOTBIRD
neighbourhood across Europe and chosen home for more than 200
channels in Polish.”
