Rakuten TV’s Chief Content Officer Marcos Milanez:
“Rakuten TV has established a wide coverage across 43 countries in Europe, and Poland has always been a key market for us since its launch in 2019 via TVOD, and more recently, with FAST & AVOD. We strongly believe on the advertising opportunity around CTV in Poland, and we’re confident on the Top Movies Polska potential, due to its top-quality Hollywood and European slate, and fully localized to the Polish audience.”
Top Movies Polska will be available for streaming on the Rakuten TV app across all devices, providing convenient access to a wide range of movie content, from both Hollywood and European distributors.
The channel is the first pure FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) movie channel in the Polish market and is a testament to Rakuten TV’s continued commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving demands of viewers in Poland. In February, Rakuten TV enriched its AVOD catalogue in Poland by adding nearly 100 localised films, including popular titles such as Blood Brother, Vendetta, Letters to Juliette, and Single Mums Club.
