Prima launches new free sports channel in Czech Republic

Czech television broadcaster Prima has introduced a new, free sports channel, expanding its media offerings. The launch aims to cater to sports enthusiasts by providing dedicated content without a subscription fee.

Alongside the new channel, Prima is presenting users with distinct options for accessing its online content. One path is a free service that includes personalized advertising. This model relies on users consenting to the use of cookies and other online identifiers for targeted ads. These ads are tailored based on user browsing habits and interests, processed by MAFRA, a.s., and its 125 advertising partners.

Alternatively, users can opt for "iDNES Premium," a paid subscription service that offers an ad-free experience across Prima's platforms, including iDNES.cz, Lidovky.cz, Expres.cz, and Antiyoutuber.cz. This premium tier also includes access to digital newspapers and magazines.

The article details the technical aspects of personalized advertising and content delivery. It explains that user data is used to create profiles for selecting relevant ads and content, measuring the performance of both, and understanding audience engagement through statistics. Users have the ability to manage their privacy settings, including withdrawing consent for targeted advertising or objecting to data processing based on legitimate interest, at any time.
