wedotv launches German sports channel
The AVOD and FAST Channel provider wedotv is expanding its channel portfolio with wedo sports, a free, ad-supported sports channel that will launch on streaming platforms across German-speaking countries on June 20, 2023.
Initially, wedo sports will roll out on Zattoo, waipu.tv, LG Channels and Vidaa in Germany, with other platforms to follow soon. The 24-hour German-language service will also be available on the web at www.wedotv.com and in all wedotv apps.
The FAST Channel will stream all major German and international horse races live, including the Royal Ascot from June 20 to 24, 2023, one of the most prestigious horse racing events in the world, and the Breeders’ Cup, the most highly remunerated racing event in the US. Furthermore, wedo sports will offer live coverage of the German Sailing Bundesliga, the Sailing Champions League and SailGP.
The schedule will also feature weekly programmes with highlights from football, Formula 1, e-sports, martial arts and other sports. In addition, the programming line-up includes documentaries about sports legends like Tiger Woods, David Beckham and Michael Schumacher, as well as world-famous teams like Manchester United and other well-known national clubs.
“The launch of wedo sports is another piece of our vision to create a complete viewer offering in the German-speaking market,” said Philipp Rotermund, Co-CEO and Founder of wedotv. “We already had strong viewer and advertiser interest in the sports content on our flagship AVOD service wedotv in Germany, Austria and Switzerland so creating a stand-alone FAST Channel for sports fans in this market was a logical next step. As part of our expansion strategy, we are looking at other markets for wedo sports as well.”
