Network4 Group, which already operates several entertainment channels in Hungary, has recently announced a new channel that will be broadcast in HD with romantic and family-friendly series and films and aimed at female viewers. STORY4 is the first channel to be launched in the Czech Republic and Slovakia by this operator.

The concept of the new channel has been tailored to the needs of the Czech and Slovak markets. The channel offers European productions, Hollywood content, family-friendly, romantic films and series, as well as light crime stories. More than 1,000 hours’ of entertainment awaits viewers at launch, with 500 hours of new content added each year. STORY4 also presents seven series that have never been seen on the Czech or Slovak market. All films and series presented to the public will be dubbed.

“We conducted extensive research before launching the channel. We came to the conclusion that there is a lack of linear TV channels that meet the needs of female viewers, who want quality content and to put them first. This is how STORY4 was born, and it is unlike anything else available on the market today. Our slogan is ‘for true romantics who love a good story’, and accordingly, we bring the most romance to Czech and Slovak viewers,” said András Borsány-Gyenes (biography + headshot), President of the Luxembourg-based Network4 Group and Budapest-based DMC/Digital Media and Communications Ltd.

“International know-how and serving local needs are factors that guarantee the success of STORY4. We have been operating the entire portfolio of entertainment channels in Hungary for several years. Network4 has taken the first step to become an indispensable player in the regional market, with its diversified portfolio available on multiple platforms,” said Tamás Horváth, CFO and deputy CEO of the company.
