The Polish DTH platform nc+ has signed a contract with Eutelsat renewing nine transponders in the Hot Bird neighbourhood.
Commenting on the agreement, Julien Verley, CEO of nc+, said: “Poland is a very important satellite-driven broadcasting market. Thanks to satellite transmission we are able to provide exceptional image quality with today’s best HD quality and in the future with the 4k standard. nc+ is at the forefront of technological changes and we are proud to cooperate with such a strong and reliable partner as Eutelsat. We look forward to strengthening this cooperation.”
Michel Azibert, chief commercial and development officer at Eutelsat, added: “Almost 25 years since the launch of multi-channel broadcasting in Poland through Eutelsat satellites, that was followed by the transition to digital and the launch of High Definition, we are proud that nc+ has today renewed its trust in us. This new agreement further consolidates and confirms Eutelsat’s Hot Bird position as Poland’s neighbourhood of choice for free-to-air and pay-TV broadcasting.”
Nc+ was formed in March 2013 following the merger of N and Cyfra+.
It currently offers 2.2 million subscribers over 160 channels, almost 50% of which are in HD, as well as over 400 FTA channels, 20 of which are in Polish.
