Munich, July 1, 2011. The ProSiebenSat.1 Group and cable TV provider Kabel Deutschland (KD) have signed a long-term contract for the distribution of the Group's free and pay TV, HD and video-on-demand content. Beginning in October 2011, viewers with a Kabel Deutschland connection will also be able to receive the ProSiebenSat.1 Group's HD stations for the first time. High-definition transmission makes TV images significantly more detailed than before. ProSiebenSat.1 will also be distributing an extensive video-on-demand portfolio via KD. The Group will thus be offering viewers another way to download video content, above and beyond the current portals. KD's "SELECT VIDEO" video-on-demand service was launched this March, and is already technically available to 2.3 million households using KD. The agreement also provides for long-term distribution of the Group's free TV channels and its two pay TV services, "Sat.1 Comedy" and "kabel eins CLASSICS." Women's station "sixx" will also be available over KD's analog network, expanding sixx's technical reach from the former 20 million households to more than 25 million. This, the TV group's youngest station, went on the air in May 2010, and by now is earning an average share of 0.4 percent of the key demographic. Contact: Marcus Prosch
