History
A Hungarian version of the channel was launched in 2004, as an expansion of the Polish channel, but it closed on 1 May 2009 because the channel was not popular amongst Hungarian advertisers.
Zone Europa's 14-hour schedule was extended to 20 hours at weekends.[when?]
On 1 August 2012 Chellomedia revealed that all European versions of the Zone Channels would be become CBS channels.[1] Zone Europa was renamed CBS Europa on 3 December 2012 in Poland.[2]
On 1 October 2015 CBS Europa HD was launched, replacing the SD version on the satellite.
On 19 June 2024, it was announced that CBS Europa would change its name to Film Cafe by 21 August 2024.[3]
