Poland’s NC+ renews Arte output deal

Polish pay TV platform NC+ has renewed its output deal with French sales house Arte Distribution for a further three years.

The agreement includes the purchase of a minimum 50 hours of programming a year and at least five hours of pre-buys in all genres of documentary.

The initial order is for 62 hours, including Claude Lanzmann feature doc Four Sisters. It has also pre-bought Volcanos Among US (20×26’), produced by Arte France and Les Bons Clients, and Monuments of Legend (5×52’), produced by Arte Germany and Seppia.

The programmes will mostly be split between NC+’s documentary channel Planete +, cooking channel Kuchnia+ and lifestyle and garden network Domo+.

Joanna Zawistowska, programming manager for NC+, said: “The Polish market is highly competitive and many broadcasters are looking for this type of content. I’m like a kid in a candy store.”
