Polsat to launch Polsat World

Polsat, Poland's biggest satellite television broadcaster submitted a motion to the National Broadcasting Council to obtain a license for establishing its Polsat World channel, the press reported. The new channel is to replace Polsat 2 broadcast in the US, Australia and New Zealand. Polsat will continue to broadcast Polsat 2 in Poland, but the programming is to be changed. In 2009, Polsat obtained a license for Polsat International, but it was withdrawn due to failure in launching the channel.
