SPI International’s Dizi Launches with UPC Poland

SPI International’s Dizi joins the offer of UPC Poland at the beginning of September. The channel will expand its technical reach by more than 1 million subscribers in Poland.

SPI International’s Dizi will be available to UPC subscribers in the Max Premium, Max and Select packages, starting from the beginning of September 2021. The channel will be available at positions 222 (Horizon and UPC TV 4K Box decoders) and 168 (Mediabox decoders), as well as in the UPC TV Go service.

“Joining the UPC offer is a very big step forward for us in building the distribution of the Dizi channel in Poland. We want this channel to be included in basic TV packages, because its program offer is so attractive that it can successfully compete for the attention of a wide audience,” says Jacek Koskowski, General Director Sales & Distribution Poland at Kino Polska TV SA.

The addition of Dizi to the UPC Polska offer increases the channel’s reach by more than 1 million subscribers amounting to 2.2 million subscribers in Poland. The channel is already available in the offer of the operators such as Vectra (Zloty Package) and Multimedia Poland (MaxBox Package) and also as OTT in the new on the market CDA TV service.

Dizi channel is aimed at the growing number of Turkish series fans in Poland. The channel airs both drama, romance, and crime fiction productions, and is broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week in HD quality. The latest addition to Dizi's schedule is the popular series Bride of Istanbul.
