Warsaw, Poland: Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ PRIME launched in Poland yesterday with localised subtitles.

Wayne Dunsford, Director of Channels, EMEIA, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide, says: "Cable operators recognise the potential of an entertainment channel like Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ PRIME and will see it as a new way of adding value to their networks.
