Sky Deutschland, a privately owned company headquartered in Germany, is a subsidiary of Comcast Corporation. Founded in 1991, the company employs approximately 1,810 individuals and reported $2.0B in revenue as of 2024. Sky Deutschland operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer and specializes in media and TV services. It operates a direct broadcast satellite Pay TV platform in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (through Sky Switzerland), providing a collection of basic and premium digital subscription television channels via satellite and cable television. Originally launched in 1991 as Premiere, the service began as a single analogue channel on the Astra 1A satellite, offering films dubbed into German and in original audio, live football matches from the German Bundesliga and Austrian Bundesliga, documentaries, concerts, and TV series. The service was rebranded as "Sky" on July 4, 2009, and has since expanded to consist of numerous digital channels.
RTL Deutschland and Sky Deutschland plan to cut approximately 500 jobs by the end of 2027 as part of the integration of the two German broadcasters, with the majority of reductions expected this year. Previously, on September 14, Sky revamped its Sky Go app for Sky Glass and Sky Stream subscribers. The new app version, based on the Sky OS operating system for Sky Glass and Sky Stream, focuses on helping subscribers transition between big screens and mobile or tablet devices.
