Philipp Böchheimer will head the new Austrian joint venture between Canal+ and local operator A1.
Böchheimer, who has spent 15 years in film and television production, is working with the former A1now TV team as well as staffers from Canal+ Group itself to create a “whole new content world” tailored directly to the Austrian market and its needs.
In addition to international formats, there are plans to create local content from an Austrian-European perspective.
Canal+ Austria is 51% owned by the Canal+ Group and 49% by A1 Telekom Austria.
