Fashion One launches in Germany on KabelKiosk
MUMBAI: Fashion One, the international channel for fashion, entertainment and lifestyle television, has launched in Germany on Eutelsat’s digital cable platform KabelKiosk.
The channel has concluded an agreement with Eutelsat’s German subsidiary (Eutelsat Germany) for distribution of the channel to cable operators in continental Europe.
The channel will be available in high definition to cable networks in the KabelKiosk digital television platform provided by Eutelsat Germany. KabelKiosk will carry Fashion One starting 2 January.
After capitalizing in Germany, Fashion One is now equipped with the potential to continue its expansion on the viewer base in Europe by further distribution on platforms in Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Alto Adige.
The international television network caters to a female audience with content covering the very latest in fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle news, profiles of A-list celebrities, luxury brands, holiday destinations, and red carpet events. Fashion One also delivers a strong lineup of original programming from reality shows, documentaries, beauty tips and street styling.
“We are excited to be launching Fashion One in Germany with KabelKiosk. The channel will be broadcasted in crystal clear high-definition for the sophisticated audience in the region. This launch supports our drive for continuous growth in the Western European market following our launch of European headquarter last year and marks the start of a new era in the company’s operations in Germany,” said Fashion One CEO Ashley Jordan.
“Fashion One HD delivers pictures in a crisp HD-quality, building a bridge between fashion, luxury and travelling. This unique mixture makes Fashion One HD a real benefit for all of our modern, open-minded KabelKiosk viewers and connect them with an international community,” says Eutelsat Germany MD Martina Rutenbeck.
The channel will debut with two original programmes Fashion One Correspondence Search: London and Front Row Season 2. Viewers could also enjoy on-going documentary series Eco Fashion and lifestyle series Yoga, Health and Well-being.
MUMBAI: Lights, camera… connection because this time, the game isn’t just about winning, it’s about who’s with you. Sony Pictures Networks India is gearing up to launch a new reality game show, Tum Ho Naa, expanding its unscripted slate with a format that promises both emotion and engagement.
The show will premiere soon on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV, with Rajeev Khandelwal stepping in as host. Known for his measured screen presence and selective choices, Khandelwal’s return to television adds a layer of familiarity and credibility to the upcoming format.
While specific details of the gameplay remain under wraps, the positioning suggests a reality format that leans as much on emotional resonance as it does on competition, an increasingly popular blend in Indian television, where audiences are gravitating towards content that offers both stakes and storytelling.
Khandelwal, reflecting on his return, noted that his choices have often been guided by instinct rather than convention, describing Tum Ho Naa as a project that feels “close to the heart”. His association also signals Sony’s continued focus on anchoring new formats with recognisable faces who bring both relatability and depth.
The launch comes at a time when broadcasters are doubling down on original non-fiction formats to drive appointment viewing, even as digital platforms expand parallel reach. By placing the show across both linear television and OTT, Sony appears to be aiming for a dual-audience strategy capturing traditional viewers while engaging digital-first consumers.
As the countdown to premiere begins, Tum Ho Naa positions itself not just as another game show, but as a reminder that sometimes, the biggest prize on screen isn’t the jackpot, it’s the journey shared along the way.
