In the next period we are planning to<br />
show new films, serials and animations.<br />
At the beginning of this year, Prima TV<br />
informed the public about signing the<br />
contract with Warner Bros. Company.<br />
This contract provides for Prima TV the<br />
licence for broadcasting the most popular<br />
films, and premiere showing of high<br />
quality TV serials and cartoons, like<br />
classical - Looney Tunes. This contract<br />
is one of the most significant that Prima<br />
TV has ever signed.<br />
By this contract, Prima TV can<br />
broadcast a great number of unique<br />
and successful films, for example,<br />
MATRIX and HARRY POTTER, and<br />
blockbusters like THE LORD OF THE<br />
RINGS, THE TROY, and many others.<br />
From the attractive production for<br />
2005/2006 season, we will soon start<br />
broadcasting the following: POINT OF<br />
NO RETURN/THE ASSASSIN, LAST<br />
MAN STANDING, GLIMMER MAN, ON<br />
DEADLY GROUND, 15 MINUTES,<br />
ERASER, THE MATRIX RELOADED, THE<br />
MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, etc.<br />
It can be concluded that American<br />
production has, and will have, a significant<br />
place in the program of Prima TV.<br />
