The German movie channel Kinowelt is joining the new Premiere and Hypovereinsbank backed pay-TV platform Premiere Star, scheduled to launch this autumn on the Astra satellites, using Astra’s Entavio scrambling and billing service.
Kinowelt has been offering German, European and independent movies, mixed with making-offs, interviews and other film-related programming, since 2004. It is currently available on all major cable nets in Germany and Switzerland, as well as the cable backed satellite platform Arena Tividi.
