PRESS RELEASE
RiC TV: New era of TV entertainment on Astra 19.2° East with optimized frequency
Munich, March 6th, 2024
Relaunch of the evening program for relaxation before a good night's sleep In a further step to improve the viewer experience, the previous black screen, which featured radio plays as bedtime stories between 19:00 and 19:30, will be replaced by calming and beloved series from the repertoire of Your Family Entertainment AG. This program change is aimed at slowing down both young and adult viewers before bedtime and allowing them to wind down at the end of the day. Double transmission for a smooth transition This transition phase offers viewers a unique flexibility to adapt to the new frequency without risking the immediate loss of the familiar signal. The dual transmission ensures that the switch to 11.302 MHz will be smooth and pressure-free by 2025. Stronger commitment to quality family entertainment With this new move, YFE and ORS are reaffirming their commitment to providing high-quality, entertaining and educational programs for children and families. RiC TV will be available exclusively on the new frequency from 2025, underlining the ongoing investment in improved and more stable transmission quality.
HD version and expanded IP stream offerings In an additional announcement, YFE announced that RiC TV is now also available in a high-definition version, which will be made available to cable network partners via IP stream. This expands the channel's accessibility and offers viewers an even more immersive viewing experience.
Dr. Stefan Piëch, CEO of Your Family Entertainment AG, emphasized the importance of this development: "Our renewed partnership with the ORS Group and the switch to a new frequency are decisive steps towards offering RiC TV to an even wider audience in first-class quality. We are convinced that this change will benefit all our viewers and partners." "RiC TV's move to a new frequency marks a significant milestone in our mission to make entertaining and educational content more accessible for the whole family. We are proud to partner with ORS Group to make this important transition and look forward to furthering this journey that enables us to reach even more viewers' hearts with RiC TV and our fun channel mascot RiC the Raven," said Laurence Robinet, Chief Broadcast Officer of Your Family Entertainment AG. Norbert Grill, Technical Managing Director of the ORS Group, was also positive about the continuation of the cooperation: "The renewed partnership with YFE and the broadcasting of RiC are of great importance to us. The investment in the new frequency reflects our commitment to high quality content and services. We look forward to continuing to actively support RiC TV."
About RiC TV RiC TV is the family channel for German-speaking countries with popular European programs, which is available unencrypted via Astra 19.2 on free TV, many cable channels and via live stream at www.rictv.de, rictv.at and rictv.ch. RiC TV was launched in September 2012 and belongs to Your Family Entertainment AG, whose CEO Dr. Stefan Piëch founded the channel. Target group: children aged 3-13 and householders.
