SES and WELT TV have extended their partnership with a renewal of their agreement to provide satellite distribution in Germany.
Taking provision into the next decade, the agreement aims to maintain delivery of Welt HD and N24 Doku via SES’s satellites at 19.2 degrees East. Welt HD remains part of the HD+ offering while N24 Doku is available free-to-air.
Commenting, Thorsten Prohm, chief technical officer at WELT TV, said, “SES has been a reliable partner for the distribution of our channels for many years. By extending the agreement, we are ensuring that our quality journalism and documentaries reach a broad audience. We look forward to continuing this successful partnership, which ensures the reliable delivery of Welt HD and N24 Doku at the highest standard.”
“The extension of our partnership with WELT TV reflects the continued value broadcasters place on satellite distribution to reach audiences at scale across Germany,” added Christoph Mühleib, VP, Central and Eastern Europe and UK at SES. “Access to trusted news, reports and documentaries remains essential for viewers across the country. Through our satellites at 19.2 degrees East, we will continue to provide the reach, reliability and service quality that help broadcasters make that content available to millions of households in Germany.”
