CANAL+ Action Grows Footprint

New carriage deals have been secured for the CANAL+ Action channel, which extends its reach with Skylink, Slovak Telekom, DIGI Slovakia and T-Mobile Czech Republic.

Starting February 28, CANAL+ Action will be available via satellite and Internet TV on the Skylink and freeSAT platforms. Subscribers to T-Mobile, Slovak Telekom and DIGI Slovakia will have access to the channel as of March 1.

CANAL+ Action, which airs action movies and series with Czech dubbing, will offer selected exclusive titles and Czech and Slovak premieres, such as the critically-acclaimed Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Ladislav Řeháček, VP of CANAL+ Luxembourg for the Czech Republic and Slovakia, said: “Following our successful entry into sports broadcasting last year in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, we plan to expand into films and series this year, starting with the action genre. With the launch of CANAL+ Action, we aim to offer viewers high-quality action programming with minimal advertising interruptions within a single program.”

Berk Uziyel, CEO of SPI International, which is now part of the CANAL+ Group and in charge of B2B distribution of CANAL+ products within the territory, added: “We’re thrilled to collaborate with all of our partners and Ladislav Řeháček to introduce CANAL+ Action to new markets. Our mutual goal is to continuously improve the value we provide to our partners and customers while delivering top-notch entertainment across the board.”
