Poland’s National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) will not withdraw any of the licences it awarded for the country’s eighth DTT multiplex (MUX-8) last November.
Speaking to Money.pl and quoted by Wirtualne Media, Jan Dworak, the council’s chairman, said that having dismissed appeals by Telewizja Puls and Scripps Networks Polska against the award of a licence to Agora, it would not withdraw any of the other licences it granted.
This effectively confirms that Cable Television Networks & Partners, formed by the Polish Chamber of Electronic Communications (PIKE) and Kino Polska TV, will now be free to launch a channel named Zoom TV.
Meanwhile, ZPR Media’s TV Spektrum will launch Nowa TV and Grupa Wirtualna Polska an interactive channel named WP1.
They will be joined by Agora’s Kiwi TV, which may be renamed Metro ahead of its planned launch this autumn.
