Sky Sport is a group of sports satellite TV channels in the German language produced and broadcast by Sky Deutschland.

History

[edit]

Digitales Sport Fernsehen (Digital Sport Television)

[edit]

Sky Sport can trace its roots back to the sports channels on the DF1 platform launched in 1996: DSF Plus, DSF Action and DSF Golf. It also has origins in the analogue Premiere channel, launched in 1993, which was also sports-focused.

Premiere Sport

[edit]

On 1 October 1999, DF1 was turned into Premiere World and sport channels were rebrand on the platforms, to Premiere Sport 1 and 2. When more than two simultaneous events were available, the service could be increased to up to thirteen parallel channels.[1]

On 26 October 2002, a service for Austria, called Premiere Austria, was launched.[2]

Sky Sport

[edit]

When Premiere became Sky Deutschland on 4 July 2009, the channels were then further rebranded to Premiere Sport 1 and 2 became Sky Sport 1 and 2, while Premiere Austria became Sky Sport Austria and Premiere HD was divided into Sky Sports HD and Sky Cinema HD. Sky Sport News HD, a sports news channel, launched on 1 December 2011 in a basic package (Sky Welt).
