SPI waves the flag for content

August 6, 2012 14.29 Europe/London By Julian Clover

IBC 2012 – PREVIEW: Pod 221. It’s a rarity for content to appear at IBC, except in the context of it being declared ‘King’ in numerous conference sessions.

SPI International is the company to break with tradition. A producer of TV channels and distributor of entertainment content in Central & East Europe, SPI has recently launched several new thematic channels with worldwide rights.

These include Fightbox HD – a 24-hour fight channel devoted to MMA and more than 20 other combat sports disciplines. Fightbox HD is on the air in Poland and Bulgaria. In addition, Fightbox HD is available online as part of the Filmbox Live, a multi-screen entertainment platform developed by SPI and already picked up by leading Smart TV providers such as Samsung and LG.

The other SPI worldwide channels are: Docubox HD (offering documentary films and TV shows on nature, science, technology and space), Fashionbox HD (addressed to viewers interested in fashion shows and top designers) and Erox HD (an adult-entertainment channel featuring content from the world’s leading producers of soft erotica).
