Dr. Patrick Hörl, managing director at Autentic said: „With our experienced and competent team, we have been successful in the channel business for a long time: Our programmes are distributed on our pay-TV channels as well as on advertising-financed digital channels such as YouTube. Therefore, expanding our activities to the FAST market is the logical next step. Our offerings in this market are partly international, partly specifically geared to the German-speaking market. This gives us a unique positioning in the market.”
