Slovakia’s Markiza and Antik Telecom have successfully concluded negotiations on the continued distribution of Markiza’s TV channels by Antik Telecom after November 30.

In a joint statement issued by the two companies they said: “Markiza Sloavkia is interested in long-term cooperation in spreading its portfolio of television entertainment products for all Slovak viewers. The basic prerequisite is the fulfillment of standard contractual conditions valid for all operators. The interest of Antik Telecom is to continue the good cooperation with Markiza, while seeing a lot of space for the future also in jointly bringing new types of services using the company’s technological potential and experience from the global market, to the benefit of all viewers. The contracting parties declare that they are interested in the continuation of the contractual cooperation subject to compliance with the contractual conditions.

“The CEOs of Markiza Peter Gazík and Antik Igor Kolla can thus jointly assure their viewers and clients that, after legal steps have been taken, all Markiza programme services will continue to be provided to Antik’s clients without interruption even after November 30, 2023”.

As previously reported by Broadband TV News, Markiza terminated its distribution contracts withn Antik Telecom and other operator (Dsi Data) in early November.
