The Czech Radio and TV Council (RRTV) has awarded new programme distribution licences to both UPC and Media Vision, the operator of the DTH platform CS Link.
According to HN, UPC now has the right to distribute the Czech channel R1 and foreign channels Chinese international Channel, English International Chanel and Russia Today.
CS Link meanwhile can offer the Slovak Channels TV Markiza, which is currently available in the Czech republic in test mode, and TV Doma.
UPC has said that it does not plan to carry the newly registered channels immediately.
