The Polish public broadcaster TVP plans to make number of changes to its thematic channels later this month.
Wirtualne Media reports that they will come into effect on the night of October 22/23 and see TVP Kultura switch from the third (MUX-3) to eighth (MUX-8) multiplex and from an SD to HD service.
Meanwhile, TVP Sport will be withdrawn from the MUX-8 but remain on MUX-3, as an HD channel.
MUX-8 was launched in mid-2016 and has been used by TVP since the end of last year. Following the changes it will carry TVP Kultura HD and TVP Rozrywka, along with the privately owned channels Metro, Nowa TV, Telewizja WP and Zoom TV.
At the same time, MUX-3 will distribute the TVP channels TVP1 HD, TVP2 HD, TVP3, TVP Historia, TVP Info HD and TVP Sport HD.
