PRIME Entertanment Group strikes a new deal with the broadcaster FTV Prima from Czech Republic for the celebrity series "Close Up"  to air on new channel CNN Prima News.

Head of Sales, Alexandra Marguerite says “We are glad to renew our partnership with our longtime partner FTV PRIMA. After the range of documentaries on various topics, we are happy the network turned to our celebrity catalog for the launch of their new channel. It is a true satisfaction to see that our cinema related shows appeal not only to the audience of major movie networks in the region, but also find home on new networks as CNN PRIMA.”
