Prime expands in Central Europe with UPC Direct
成人论坛
Worldwide, the commercial consumer arm of the 成人论坛, has signed an
agreement with satellite platform UPC Direct to provide 成人论坛 PRIME
in Hungary and the Czech and Slovak Republics. The agreement makes
this leading 成人论坛 entertainment channel available throughout these
markets on the sole digital satellite service currently operating
there.
成人论坛
Worldwide Director of Channels EMEIA, Wayne Dunsford, said, "This
new agreement with UPC Direct is an important step for 成人论坛 Worldwide
in the Central European region and we look forward to taking this
partnership to new levels. The agreement illustrates the growing
popularity of English language programming in these countries and
enables more subscribers to enjoy the best of 成人论坛 entertainment."
UPC
Direct Managing Director, Balazs Sranko, added, "成人论坛 programmes
have an excellent reputation around the world for high quality.
By offering 成人论坛 PRIME on our UPC Direct platform we will be bringing
new value to our offering not only in metropolitan centres but also
in rural areas that rely on satellite feeds for international channels."
成人论坛
PRIME recently launched localisation services across Central Europe
with Hungarian, Czech and Polish subtitling introduced this year.
Speaking at recent 成人论坛 Prime launch events in Poland and Hungary,
education ministers have hailed this as an important step in promoting
foreign language learning throughout the region. UPC Direct is reinforcing
this in Hungary with the donation of 150 digital satellite receivers
to schools in rural areas so that they can access English language
programmes on 成人论坛 PRIME.
