Superstacja struggles to take off

Originally due to be launched in November 2005, the channel has already been delayed three times, with the most recent being blamed on obligatory holidays for journalists from August one and shortfalls with funding. Krajewski has tried to persuade Polsat and TVN to invest in the beleaguered Superstacja, however, both have declined. The new channel has also experienced distribution problems as it does not have a signed contract with a satellite operator. As it stands, it looks like Superstacja will not be able to secure a place in Cyfrowy Polsat's offering or in a digital platform such as the ITI groups. This will create more problems for the channel as with fewer outlets it will have less chance of attracting an audience rating of 100,000 per day. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7) M.M.
