iKOMG manages the distribution of TVP World, Belsat, Slawa and Vot Tak onto the international streaming platform

Pfäffikon, Switzerland – 3 September 2026– iKO Media Group (iKOMG), the premium service partner to the global media industry, has supported the latest international expansion of TVP’s International Media Centre, managing the distribution of TVP World, Belsat, Slawa and Vot Tak onto the Kartina.tv streaming platform.

The launch extends the availability of TVP’s international content to viewers across Europe, the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and Israel, including large audiences with roots in Eastern Europe.

As part of the project, iKOMG managed the distribution between TVP and Kartina.tv, supporting the onboarding and technical delivery of the channels onto the platform and helping TVP extend its international presence through another established OTT environment.

The expansion brings TVP World, TVP’s English-language international news channel, together with three foreign-language services: Belsat in Belarusian, Slawa in Ukrainian and Vot Tak in Russian.

Kartina.tv is one of the leading television and streaming platforms serving Russian-speaking audiences and the Eastern European diaspora. The platform offers more than 200 live channels alongside over 85,000 films, TV shows and cartoons.

The new distribution comes at a time of significant audience growth for TVP’s International Media Centre. Between January and July 2026, its digital properties generated 2.7 billion views, three times more than during the same period in 2025.

Vot Tak recorded 1.1 billion views during the period, followed by TVP World with 754 million, Slawa with 476 million and Belsat with 412 million.

Michał Broniatowski, Director of the TVP International Media Centre, said: “More than 2.7 billion views in seven months is evidence of enormous audience interest in our content. We want to meet our viewers where they are, providing them with every possible means of accessing reliable information. The addition of TVP World and our Eastern-European blocks, Belsat, Slawa, and Vot Tak, to Kartina.tv is the latest step in increasing our channels’ reach to speakers of Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian around the world. An important goal of ours is to reach audiences with limited access to independent sources of information.”

For iKOMG, the project reflects its broader strategy of supporting broadcasters throughout the international development of their channels — from distribution and technical delivery to audience growth and, increasingly, monetization. Through its new Monetization division, iKOMG is expanding this support by helping broadcasters and content owners identify and develop new revenue opportunities around their content, audiences and growing presence across international platforms.

Francesco Cataldo, Chairman and Chief Business Officer at iKO Media Group, said: “TVP has built a strong international portfolio with content that is already reaching significant audiences around the world. At iKOMG, our role is to make that international expansion as seamless as possible, managing the distribution and technical delivery needed to bring channels efficiently onto new platforms.

But our strategy is increasingly going  beyond distribution alone. Reaching new audiences creates new commercial opportunities, and through our new Monetization division we are building on our distribution capabilities to help channels turn that reach into sustainable value. By supporting the launch of TVP World, Belsat, Slawa and Vot Tak on Kartina.tv, we are helping TVP increase its reach, strengthen the availability of its content across key international markets and connect with new audiences through the platforms they already use.

This is how we see the evolution of our role: removing complexity for broadcasters, expanding the reach of their content and, increasingly, helping them unlock the commercial opportunities that come with that growth.”

Through the collaboration, iKOMG continues to support TVP in extending the international reach and availability of its channels across new platforms and markets, while strengthening the foundations for further audience development and monetization opportunities.
