Ringier launches a European Championship sports channel on Zattoo

 Ringier is focusing on moving pictures for Euro 08: The Blick sports editorial team and Ringier's web center will produce their own daily football expert talk and magazine show during the European Championships. The web channel will be launched on June 7, 2008 and will be broadcast on the TV distribution service Zattoo and also be available on Blick.ch. Web viewers will receive analysis and background information about the games in the sports talk program. The magazine is all about the fans, public viewing, people and the football lifestyle. There will also be reports on the "Euro-WG" launched by Ringier. Its residents from five different Euro nations will be followed on camera as they watch the games in public viewing areas, trendy bars or stadiums. Ringier wants to further expand its own online formats with the "Blick EM-Spezial" and test them for the first time on a branded channel. The television software from Zattoo can be downloaded free of charge at Zattoo.com.
