In the entertainment segment, P7S1 offers the best entertainment - anytime, anywhere and on any device. With its 15 free and pay TV stations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the group has a very large reach, both live and on-demand, which it continuously strengthens and monetizes in a variety of ways - in the entertainment segment directly via the marketing of advertising spots, but also indirectly via the Commerce & Ventures portfolio. Here, P7S1 invests advertising time in young digital companies and in return receives shares in the companies themselves or their revenues.

As part of its strategic development, P7S1 is expanding its production activities and will produce the news formats for the group's linear and on-demand offerings itself from 2023.

The production of the various news formats will be carried out from a news broadcasting center, which will be part of the new P7S1 campus currently being built in Unterföhring, near Munich. At the same time, a remote studio is being built at the Berlin location for capital city reporting, with a connection to the broadcasting center in Unterföhring.

Optimal working conditions for journalists and creatives as well as for the technically responsible colleagues will be ensured by innovative and intuitive systems. The full IP solution will be based on the SMPTE 2110 standard.

After a thorough evaluation of the market, Mainz-based BFE Studio und Medien Systeme GmbH was selected as the system integrator with overall responsibility. For the areas of network and cyber security, a cooperation was agreed between BFE and Atos Information Technology GmbH within the scope of this project.

"We are extremely proud to continue the long-standing partnership between BFE and P7S1 with this important project," says Jürgen Loos, Director of Sales at BFE.
