PIKE, ZAKOPANE. The recently launched Polish sports channel Orange Sport is unlikely to be distributed by DTT, according to Dominique Lesage, TPSA’s director of corporate communications and content.
He added that it has not yet been decided if the channel, which was launched as a paid-for service, will be made available on Poland’s upcoming DVB-H operation.
Witold Kolodziejski, the head of the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT), meanwhile conceded that it is highly unlikely Poland’s DTT service, which is expected to launch next year, will have any paid-for element.
The experience of other European markets suggested that this should only be introduced at a future date.
