RiC TV: New era of TV entertainment on Astra 19.2° East with optimized frequency

 

Munich, March 6th, 2024

An exciting new development for TV viewers in Europe: Your Family Entertainment AG (YFE) and ORS Group, a leading provider of broadcasting services, have renewed their partnership to better distribute the popular free-to-air family channel RiC TV. The channel is now available on a new frequency, 11,302 MHz, on the Astra 19.2° East satellite, while it can be received on the previous frequency until the end of 2024 at the latest.

 

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.
