CANAL+ Germany is bolstering its business-to-business (B2B) services with the introduction of SportsHD, a comprehensive new sports package designed for network operators. This exciting bundle comprises six specialized sports channels, now readily accessible to customers through cable and IPTV platforms.
The diverse range of channels within SportsHD caters to a broad spectrum of sports enthusiasts. From the thrill of football and the speed of motorsports to the adrenaline of eSports and the precision of tennis, the package offers something for everyone. The six channels included are Sportdigital1+, eSportsONE, Sportdigital Fußball, auto motor und sport channel, Fast & Fun Box, and the Tennis Channel.
A standout feature of SportsHD is the inclusion of the Tennis Channel, marking its debut within the CANAL+ Germany lineup. Importantly, CANAL+ Germany holds exclusive cable distribution rights for this channel. This offers viewers extensive coverage of top-tier international tournaments, encompassing ATP and WTA events, as well as insightful documentaries, magazines, and background reports. Adding to the package's appeal, cable subscribers receive a second smartcard, enabling simultaneous viewing on an additional household device.
“With SportsHD, we’re providing our network partners with a strong and diverse sports offering that caters to various interests,” stated Marco Hellberg, Managing Director of CANAL+ Germany. “We’re particularly proud to offer the Tennis Channel exclusively via cable, which significantly enhances the value of the package. At the same time, we are meeting the high demand for premium sports content, which is a key factor for many viewers when choosing their TV provider.”
The SportsHD package is currently available to all existing and prospective network partners of CANAL+ Germany.
