All ProSiebenSat.1 TV channels will continue to be distributed by Vodafone Deutschland, and the content available on-demand will be expanded.
The basis is provided by a new, comprehensive distribution agreement with which Seven.One Entertainment Group and Vodafone continue their long-standing partnership. As a result, the content of the ProSiebenSat.1 subsidiary will be available in the long term on the GigaTV platform via cable, broadband and mobile.
In addition to the linear carriage of all Seven.One Entertainment Group channels, the agreement focuses on increased cooperation in digital product offerings: Thus, Vodafone customers will be able to watch even more content of Seven.One Entertainment Group on-demand on GigaTV for up to 30 days after the TV broadcast. In addition, several interactive add-on functions such as instant restart, pause and recording options will also be available in the coming years. The same applies to mobile reception via the GigaTV app.
”The new and forward-looking agreement ensures maximum reach for our content at Vodafone Deutschland via cable, broadband and mobile. The new agreement gives Vodafone customers access to our company’s comprehensive content portfolio – live or on-demand. This underlines our strategy to also offer and market our streaming content via partner platforms in future,” said Nicole Agudo Berbel, Managing Director and Chief Distribution Officer of Seven.One Entertainment Group.
In addition to the distribution of the free-TV channels in HD and SD resolution, the new agreement also includes carriage of the three pay-TV channels. For Sat.1 emotions in particular, the agreement means an increase in reach, as the channel will in future be included alongside ProSieben FUN in the comprehensive Vodafone pay-TV package Vodafone Premium, which has the highest number of customers. Kabel Eins Classics continues to be offered in the pay-TV package Vodafone Premium Plus.
Selected programmes of the three pay-TV channels can be accessed on the GigaTV catch-up service ahead of the linear broadcast as well as afterwards.
