German media company Your Family Entertainment (YFE) has launched an international version of its family channel RiC TV on September 1, 2019.
In partnership with A1 Telekom Austria Group, the channel is broadcast in English and German language via the Austrian telco’s direct2home satellite platform on Eutelsat 16A (16° East). This enables distribution partners in Central and Eastern Europe to receive the channel and include it in their TV packages.
RiC TV launched in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in September 2012. A Slovak version branded RiK went on air on January 1, 2015.
Like its sister channel Fix & Foxi, YFE wants to distribute RiC TV worldwide in future.
