content in HD quality,” said Siegfried Schneider, President of

of regional TV offerings and the value local content brings to

prime satellites at 19.2 degrees East, we ensure consistent
delivery of local programming to the millions of viewers in Bavaria
with the best image and sound quality,” said Christoph Mühleib,
