June 4, 2018MX1, a global solution provider of media services, announced today that it has been selected as the distribution service provider for YOL TV, a Turkish-language channel based in Germany, starting June 1.

YOL TV broadcasts predominantly Turkish-language programming, which is also distributed online, focusing on popular political and cultural topics in Turkey, Germany, and the world.

“We welcome YOL TV as a new partner and are pleased that we can help the channel reach a more expansive range of 118 million TV households across Germany and Europe,” said Christoph Mühleib, Managing Director Astra Deutschland, responsible for marketing and sales of Astra and MX1 in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

“The new partnership with MX1 optimizes the way we deliver content to our audiences,” said Veli Aydin, managing director at YOL TV. “Through satellite broadcasting with MX1, our program reaches more viewers than ever before, including those in our core target audience.”
