Discovery Channel in Production with First Polish Series

By

    WARSAW: The documentary mini-series Polish Truckers is the first show produced by Discovery Channel in Poland.

    The six-episode mini-series is produced for Discovery Channel by Op1. Polish Truckers will follow the lives of Polish truck drivers working on long-distance trails. "Discovery Channel invites the viewers into the world of professional truck drivers. We will accompany them at their jobs, but not only that. Polish Truckers is also a story about their families and their lives outside of work", says Marcin Ziółek, Senior Channel Manager Factual at Discovery Networks CEEMEA.

    The investment in productions made locally in Poland is aimed at increasing the number of viewers of Discovery Channel on the Polish market. In the first half of 2015, the Discovery Channel had 0,55% share in the 4+ market and 0,73% in the 16-49 group, according to Nielsen Audience Measurement.
