Channel Closure: CBS Reality And Film Cafe Cease Broadcasting In Poland By December 31, 2025

By the end of the year, the film channel Film Cafe and the documentary channel CBS Reality, both from AMC Networks International and CBS Broadcasting, will cease broadcasting.

The broadcaster will stop airing these channels on December 31, and therefore we need to remove them from our offer. The channels are non-guaranteed, and customers will receive information from us with appropriate notice, informs Wojciech Jabczyński, spokesperson for Orange Polska, which carries both stations. The broadcaster itself did not respond to our inquiry regarding the planned end of the channels' broadcasts.

MWE Networks is preparing replacements for these stations. Filmax Cafe and TVC Reality will be launched. – In the unlikely event that these two channels (Film Cafe and CBS Reality – editor’s note) disappear from the market, we have excellent substitutes ready. The channels will be ready to launch in October, says Michał Winnicki, the owner of the group. The stations will broadcast under Maltese licenses.

MWE Networks is also set to launch eight other stations in response to the planned closure of some channels by Paramount Global. According to the announcement, channels like Comedy Channel Extra and Music 80s and Music 90s will be launched. The group will also launch a channel called Mesjasz TV.

According to Nielsen Media, including out-of-home audiences, in 2024, the film channel Film Cafe had an average of 0.09% share in the general 4+ group (a year-on-year decline from 0.12%; on August 21, 2024, CBS Europa changed its name to Film Cafe), while the documentary channel CBS Reality had 0.05% (down from 0.06% in 2023).
