“The Television market in Romania is undergoing a consolidation process, with a small number of public and private TV channels. Eighty percent of Romanian TV viewership is mainly through cable with RCS & RDS as a leading cable network provider,” says Sima Levy, president and CEO, Actus. “Given the amount of coverage area, a well-targeted broadcast delivery combined with efficient workflow for repurposing content is key to maintaining their high viewership.”

RCS & RDS is the leading provider of television services in Romania with over 3 million subscribers and an important provider of television services in Eastern Europe.
