Program concept

The station was not aimed at private households , but rather at customers of service companies such as restaurants , fitness studios and retailers . All content was broadcast completely without sound, as many restaurants and leisure facilities have their own music concept. The program loop of poster.tv contained not only some picture galleries but also news from the fields of politics , culture and sport . The length of the programs was designed for a maximum of one minute, as the maximum number of viewers was to be achieved in the shortest possible time . In addition to the actual program content, the operators of the reception systems were able to personalize the program with their own content in the form of text and image presentations .

distribution

poster.tv achieved 2071 reception systems installed at peak times (as of July 2008)

reception

The program was broadcast over the Internet and could not be received on standard televisions. The broadcast to the system took place entirely via GPRS / UMTS . Due to the way it was broadcast, the broadcaster was technically assigned to the digital signage category .
