The Czech station TV Barrandov has denied that may be about to be taken over Ringier though conceded that there is cooperation between the two parties.
In a wide-ranging interview with Digizone, its CEO Janka Vozarova and programme director Janis Sidovsky also said that it attained a 7% share of Czech TV ad revenue last year, with sales, including advertising, amounting to over CZK300 million (€11.8 million).
They added that TV Barrandov, which was launched three years ago this month, is also approaching breakeven.
Its future plans include the launch of an on demand service this autumn.
