The film channels Filmbox and Nonstop Kino will officially make their debuts in Poland this coming Tuesday (April 2). Both services have been available in neighbouring Slovakia and the Czech Republic for around one and a half years and are owned by SPI International, which earlier this month acquired the Polish film channel Kino Polska for a fee believed to be in the region of PLN12-16 million (€3.10-4.14 million). Although Filmbox and Nonstop Kino will initially only be accessible to those able to receive signals from the Amos satellite, SPI International expects them to have up to 3 million viewers in Poland by the end of the year. The company also plans to introduce VoD in Poland this September and launch two more channels later in the year.
