Poland Gets HDTV
A Polish high definition TV digital platform will launch next month and will simply be known as 'N'.
'N' comes from Polish commercial broadcaster the ITI group. Artur Budzieszewski program director of Platform N says that the platform will offer a wide selection of film channels, on demand movies as well as sports in high definition..
'We can be proud, because we have something for everyone’s taste, the best of the market has to offer and more. We have lined up a package of new channels. It’s an offer which is a novelty in terms of format and content.’ On offer are channels for the entire family, including a channel for toddlers.
Currently Poland has two commercial digital platforms. Cyfra Plus offering Canal+ and HBO prime movie channels, and Polsat. Both platforms offer several packages with over 100 channels. Poland’s public broadcaster TVP plans on launching its own platform soon. Boguslaw Chrabota from Polsat says that, with tiny exceptions, 'N' will offer the same channels which are already available in Poland.
Broadcast analyst Stanislaw Piatek thinks that the time is ripe for a new offer. He believes that there is potential demand for high definition TV in Poland but, a varied new selection of channels are equally important.
‘I think there is some room for such offerings. Certainly they have to add something in terms of programming, completely new programmes to the market. Will it be enough, to attract the viewers, this is the big question.’
