RiC TV joins Deutsche Telekom’s MagentaTV

April 12, 2022 10.58 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

German children’s and family channel RiC TV can now be received on Deutsche Telekom’s TV platform MagentaTV.

The launch follows a partnership parent company Your Family Entertainment concluded with Telekom. At the same time, the Munich-based media company announced that Ric TV is now also available in HD quality.

With the distribution on MagentaTV, the reach of the free TV channel increases by around 4 million customers. In total, more than 33 million households in Germany, Austria and Switzerland can receive RiC TV, which launched almost 10 years ago.

“We are proud to be able to offer RiC TV on MagentaTV and now also in HD quality. Working with such a major TV service gives us the opportunity to reach many new viewers with our entertaining and educational programmes. We are convinced that our cherished family channel will be met with great enthusiasm!” said Armin Schnell, Executive Vice President Sales at Your Family Entertainment.
