Kino Polska to Launch in Nigeria

By

    WARSAW: Channels from the Filmbox International Ltd. and SPI International portfolio will be available in Nigeria through Montage Cable Network.

    Kino Polska TV S.A. announced it would enter into new territories during MIPTV.

    "Montage Cable Network made its debut not long ago, but it has already shaken up the paid television market over there, previously dominated by broadcasters from RPA and China," said Berk Uizyel, Filmbox International Ltd. director and Kino Polska TV S.A. board member. Montage will provide its subscribers with four new channels from the company's offer: Filmbox Arthouse, FightBox, DocuBox and 360 TuneBox.

    Uizyel underlined that the distribution contract with Montage is the first step to further expansion in Africa. "We plan to offer new channels on this platform, including our new interactive project 4K," said Uizyel. The dates of the channel's introduction in Nigeria and details of the 4K project have not yet been announced.

    Earlier this month Kino Polska TV announced that the company had 110.3 m PLN income in 2013 which will allow for further expansion to new territories such as Africa and South America as well as Eastern Europe.
