Canal+ looks for options to shed 10 television transmitters

The management of Canal+ sent an unofficial letter to the National Radio and Television Council (KRRiTV), stating it is considering giving up 10 of its 19 ground transmitters. "We asked the president of the Council for his opinion about our future strategy. One of the points was the possible abandonment of the ground transmitters," said Canal+ spokeswoman Paulina Krasinska. Maintenance of the transmitters becomes less profitable, as more people buy satellite signal decoders. Canal+ cannot simply trade or sell the transmitters as each represents a television frequency which belongs to KRRiTV. There are at least three potential buyers of the frequencies. One of them is the biggest private television station TVN. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 29)
