Sat.1 is a privately owned German television broadcasting station. Sat.1 was the first privately owned television broadcasting station and started one day before RTL Television.
It started in January 1984 as PKS (Programmgesellschaft für Kabel und Satellitenrundfunk), initially a joint venture of various publishing houses, and was renamed to Sat.1 in January 1985. The first broadcast could only be seen by a few people who owned cable access. Early programs included old films, mainly from the archives of KirchMedia, American hit-series and gameshows. Later, the station acquired a name for its homemade series and TV films.
Sat.1 is currently a part of the ProSiebenSat.1 Media Group. The head of Sat.1 is Guido Bolten.
