ProSiebenSat1 conquers the new world

ProSiebenSat1 Welt is to become the first private German foreign program to be received via cable in the USA. This was reported by the German Netzeitung. The foreign television program was launched in February 2005 and now has more than 12,000 subscribers in the States, according to the broadcaster. It was previously only available via the satellite platform Dish Networks. The German private broadcaster has now concluded a marketing agreement with International Networks. The company specializes in marketing original foreign programs in the USA to cable network operators and other providers. This cooperation is an important step for ProSiebenSat1 Welt to further increase the station's reach and number of subscribers and to make the program available to households with cable and DSL connections, the German television giant explained. Around two thirds of all American TV households are connected to the cable network.
