Cyfra+ owners officially consolidate to create Wizja TV competitor - PPC

The shareholders have agreed that all decisions will be made in consultation with all partners. "As it can be seen we are moving forward," said Canal+ Polska president Lew Rywin. "We only have to discuss the business plan and establish mutual relations." The Supervisory Council and board of PPC will consist of two TVP representatives in each body and one representative from each of the remaining shareholders except Aster City. The new company does not seem to fear its American competitor Wizja TV, the first digital operator present in Poland since September, and claims that of every 10 decoders, 9 are those of Cyfra+, the network created by PPC shareholders.
