The Czech company CET21 has been granted a ‘compensatory’ licence by the country’s Radio and TV Council (RRTV) to distribute its film channel Nova Cinema via DTT.
According to Parabola, the channel, which is already distributed by all the Czech DTH platforms, will become available on the DTT multiplex 2, operated by Ceske Radiokomunikace (CRa), on January 11.
Nova Cinema is part of the CME-backed Nova group, which besides the national commercial station TV Nova includes Nova Sport.
It will be joined by a Czech version of MTV next year.
