Sat.1 (German pronunciation:[zatˈˀaɪ̯ns]) is a Germanfree-to-air television channel that is a part of theProSiebenSat.1 Media Group.
It is considered the first privately owned television network in Germany, having been launched in January 1984 asPKS(Programmgesellschaft für Kabel- und Satellitenrundfunk), initially a joint venture of various publishing houses, and was rebranded as Sat.1 in January 1985. The first broadcast could only be seen by roughly 1200 households who had cable access in the city ofLudwigshafen. Early programs included old films (mainly from the archives ofKirchMedia) American hit series and game shows (the most notable show being the German version ofWheel of Fortune,Glücksrad). Later, the station acquired a name for its original series and TV films. By 1988, it was the most watched tv channel in West Germany.
Pay-TV sister channelSat.1 Emotions (formerlySat.1 Comedy) airs comedy, romance and movies. In 2013Sat.1 Gold, a second, free-to-air Sat.1 offshoot was also launched.[1]
In addition to its free-to-air standard definition feed, Sat.1 also broadcasts an HD feed as a subscription-only channel, available on Astra'sHD+ satellite pay-TV platform.
Regional newscasts are broadcast under the title17:30 Sat.1... in Bremen, Lower Saxony, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse and Bavaria.
