Eutelsat and the Polish national broadcaster TVN have signed a multi-year agreement for additional capacity at 13 degrees East.
Commenting on the development, Eutelsat’s CCO Philippe Oliva said: “We are delighted to reinforce our longstanding relationship with TVN, as it expands its premium broadcast service in Europe. This agreement showcases the relevance of satellite as a broadcast infrastructure capable of reaching the largest audience in Europe, both today and in the years to come. It also highlights the unequalled footprint of the 13° East position over Europe combined with Eutelsat’s market-leading status in Poland’s broadcasting landscape:.
Krzysztof Kozlowski, CTO at TVN Discovery Group, added: “We are excited to continue to draw on Eutelsat’s in-orbit resources to strengthen the distribution of our broadcast services in Poland, one of our core markets in Europe. We are also delighted to continue our partnership with one of the world’s most established satellite operators, which dates back more than 20 years to the launch of our first television channel in 1997.”
