Kabel Eins (German pronunciation:[ˌkaːbl̩ˈˀaɪ̯ns]; meaning Cable One) is a Germanfree-to-airtelevision channel that was launched on 29 February 1992 asDer Kabelkanal (pronounced[deːɐ̯ˈkaːbl̩.kaˌnaːl]). It is owned byProSiebenSat.1 Media AG. It is largely known for airing classic American films as well as TV series and documentaries. It is considered to be a sister channel ofProSieben.
Kabel Eins has regularly taken over TV series fromProSieben when they were not successful enough or had already been broadcast several times. An example isWithout a Trace, which was considered a failure onProSieben but is quite successful onKabel Eins. It also acquired several shows fromRTL II. On May 4, 2016, ProSiebenSat.1 announced that the station kabel eins Doku would be launched as a spin-off of kabel eins in the second half of 2016. Thorsten Pütsch took over management of the station. The station focuses entirely on documentaries and reports and can be seen on free-to-air television.[1]
