The Czech Republic’s Prima Group says it has failed to reach an agreement with O2 about the distribution of its TV channels.

As a result, it will no longer give O2 TV customers access to its channels Prima, CNN Prima News, Prima Cool, Prima Max, Prima Krimi, Prima Love, Prima Zoom and Prima Star) from March 1 at the latest.

Commenting on the development, Prima Group’s CEO Marek Singer said: “Unfortunately, despite all our efforts, we were unable to agree on new terms of cooperation with O2 Czech Republic. Given that O2 Czech Republic continues to offer its clients Prima TV channels without having a valid contract with us, we have decided to end the distribution of our channels to this company no later than March.

“O2 TV users can watch their favourite programmes, such as Slunecna, Zoo, 1. MISE or Prostovano!, through other operators, paid services or tune in to our programs via DVB-T2”.
