Sat.1 Austria is the Austrian version of the German private broadcaster Sat.1 . The station can be received via all major Austrian cable networks and via satellite receivers . The program largely corresponds to the program of the German “mother station”, but certain programs are replaced by Austrian content.

The German Sat.1 Satellite TV GmbH is 51% majority owner of Sat.1 Austria. In addition, Medicur Holding GmbH (a subsidiary of Mediaprint ) and Styria Medien AG each have a 24.5% stake in the company.

Corinna Drumm was the managing director until March 2, 2010 and has since been managing director of the Association of Austrian Private Broadcasters (VÖP). Since then, Bernhard Albrecht held the position.

program

With certain content, the Sat.1 program is overlaid with Austrian program content. This applies in particular to sports broadcasts: When the Football Champions League was broadcast in the German Sat.1 version, a different program was broadcast because Sat.1 had only acquired the free TV rights from Sky (at that time it was still a premiere) for Germany (The Austrian rights were held by ORF ). This has changed since the 2009/2010 season. Sat.1 now has the rights for both countries. In the past, instead of the program Ran , which showed games in the German Bundesliga, a program with reports from the Austrian Bundesliga was broadcast. From 2015 it will change that ORF will broadcast the Champions League again.

In addition to Austrian breakfast television , lifestyle, car, health, business and weather formats, Sat.1-Text Austria also offers a completely independent teletext for Austria , which, however, is not up to date with the original teletext.

The Austrian version of Sat.1 also broadcasts films and series in “ Dolby Digital 5.1 ” multi-channel sound and offers an Austrian Electronic Program Guide , or EPG for short. In addition, the German advertising windows will be replaced by Austrian advertising. As in Germany, the Austrian version has been broadcast in 16: 9 format since November 2008 .

From September 2011, the high-resolution simulcast variant SAT.1 Austria HD will be available in the " HD Austria " package of the AustriaSat payment platform .

criticism

Since the transitions do not only affect the advertising window, the original German program can no longer be received at times and consumers have to switch to satellite reception. This has resulted in a large number of complaints from cable customers in Austria . Other customers, however, complained that content like ran , Sat.1 Magazin and Planetopia had too much Germany in focus for an Austrian version of the station .
