Polish cable operator Vectra has added BBC Player to its VOD line-up, offering more than 1,000 hours of British series, films and factual programming at no extra cost within selected bundles.
BBC Player is now included for new and existing customers taking the Platinum package (171 channels), Super Film & Sport (193 channels) or internet TV with a decoder in the Max package (108 channels). Prices start from PLN 69.99 (around €16.50) a month for Platinum and PLN 109.99 (around €26.00) for Super Film & Sport on 23-month contracts, with the first 3 months free, while the Max internet TV offer with decoder is available from PLN 44.99 (around €10.60) on an 11-month contract or on a rolling basis.
The BBC Player catalogue spans crime and comedy series, nature and science titles, documentaries, lifestyle shows and children’s content.
The deal is part of an extended multi-year partnership between BBC Studios and Vectra. From 5 November, CBeebies will join the operator’s Multimedia offer from the Maxbox tier upwards, while access to BBC First has also been widened in recent months to Minibox, Superbox and Maxbox customers.
“We are delighted that BBC Player is joining our offering,” said Krzysztof Sokolik, CMO and board member at Vectra S.A., pointing to “true British classics, gripping documentaries and captivating crime stories” now available in one place. Bartosz Witak, General Manager & SVP BBC Studios CEE & MENAT, described partnerships like Vectra’s as “strategically important” for expanding BBC content reach in Poland and said the BBC Player catalogue spans everything from crime to kids’ programming.
BBC Player is the latest in a series of streaming integrations on Vectra’s platform, which already aggregates services such as Disney+, Netflix, HBO Max (including the “TV and Sport Channels” add-on), CANAL+, Eleven Sports and Filmbox+.
BBC Player launched in Poland in June 2022.
