In brief: Chemiskor' s plans for Zycie; TV Plus advertising; PTC services
Chemiskor, owner of the Zycie daily, has plans to increase the paper' s
sales by 100%, improve the newsprint quality and layout, and replace the
editor in chief. Since taking over Zycie' s publisher Wolne Slowo, Chemiskor
has raised its initial capital from zl.30 million to zl.60 million. (Gazeta
Wyborcza, p. 24)... Telewizja Puls may designate 15% of its broadcasting
time for advertising, according to a decision by the Polish National Radio
and Television Council. This effectively guarantees the survival of TV Puls
and may make it easier for the station to find a foreign investor. (Gazeta
Wyborcza, p. 24)... Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa (PTC), operator of the Era GSM
network, intends to launch a new video transmission service. The technology
will be similar to the Japanese i-mode system. The presentation will take
place on May 17, during the International Days of Telecommunication in
Warsaw. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) M. S.-C.
