German pay-TV channels Spiegel Geschichte and Spiegel TV Wissen are expanding their reach through new carriage agreements with platform operators.
The channels will be available on waipu.tv from 2020. Spiegel Geschichte has been added to Zattoo on October 1, 2019, where Spiegel TV Wissen is already available.
Both channels also form part of Sky Ticket. In addition, Spiegel TV Wissen will be included in Sky Deutschland’s hotel offer in future.
In Switzerland, viewers have been able to receive Spiegel Geschichte on the cable network of Sunrise since June 1, 2019.
New distribution contracts have also been concluded outside Europe: Spiegel TV Wissen International, which combines the programmes of Spiegel TV Wissen and Spiegel Geschichte on one channel, is offered by Deukom in South Africa and Satelio in Namibia as well as in other African countries. The platforms, which target German-language DTH satellite households in Africa, are operated by Deutsche Televisionsklub Betriebs GmbH based in Ismaning near Munich.
