German media company Autentic is expanding its activities in the European FAST Channel market.
Spiegel TV Konflikte, a cooperation between Autentic and Spiegel TV, is now available on FAST Channel platforms in German-speaking countries. Adventure Earth, Autentic History and Autentic Travel are rolled out across the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands.
In November 2022, Autentic and OneGate Media launched the nature and wildlife channel Adventure Earth in the UK. From July 2023, the channel will also be available in Belgium.
This was announced today by Autentic at Sunny Side of the Doc, the international documentary marketplace in La Rochelle, France.
“With our experienced and competent team, we have been successful in the channel business for a long time: Our programmes are distributed on our pay-TV channels as well as on advertising-financed digital channels such as YouTube. Therefore, expanding our activities to the FAST market is the logical next step. Our offerings in this market are partly international, partly specifically geared to the German-speaking market. This gives us a unique positioning in the market,” said Dr Patrick Hörl, Managing Director of Autentic.
Autentic’s FAST Channels are available on the Samsung TV Plus, LG and Rakuten platforms. The portfolio will be successively expanded to include additional platforms and countries.
Founded in 2008, Autentic is a joint venture between Patrick Hörl and Jan Mojto’s Beta Film. The Munich-based company focuses on high-quality documentaries and factual series for the German and international market.
