As part of the reorganization of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG’s German group of stations, the Communications/PR departments of SAT.1, ProSieben, kabel eins and N24 will be pooled at ProSiebenSat.1 TV Deutschland as of July 1, 2009. The former heads of the stations’ communications and PR will remain in office within their various stations’ managements, but will also assume additional functions within the new structure, within which they will report to Petra Fink.

The new Communications/PR unit at ProSiebenSat.1 TV Deutschland will be grouped not by station, but by content. The PR heads who formerly worked at the individual station press offices of SAT.1, ProSieben and kabel eins, will be transferred to their units in the Communications/PR department at German Free TV Holding in Unterföhring. PR colleagues at N24 will remain with their station at its site in Berlin. All PR staff will be working in multi-station, content-related units.
