Under the multi-year renewal agreement, SES will provide
satellite capacity for the unencrypted transmission of the channels
ProSieben, Sat.1, kabel eins, sixx, Sat.1 GOLD, ProSieben MAXX and
kabel eins Doku, as well as the regional programmes of Sat.1 in
Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia. The contract also includes
additional technical services from the SES’s subsidiary MX1, a
global solution provider of media services.
“In Germany, 46% of TV viewers receive our programmes via
satellite – and increasingly also in the best HD quality via the
SES platform HD+. With this new agreement, we are ensuring that our
free TV stations retain their high reach via satellite. I am
therefore pleased to welcome the continuation of our long-term
partnership with SES,” said Nicole Agudo Berbel, Chief Distribution
Officer and Executive Vice President Digital Publishing
ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE.
"We are very pleased to continue working with ProSiebenSat.1,
one of our most important customers. However, this renewal
agreement is also welcome news for all satellite TV households,
which can continue to receive ProSiebenSat.1 Group’s unencrypted
channels. Satellite is and remains the only transmission
infrastructure that gives German viewers access to the full range
of programmes at no additional cost," said Christoph Mühleib,
Managing Director of Astra Deutschland.
