Max Conze has stepped down as CEO of ProSiebenSat.1 Media, effective immediately, as the European media group refocuses its business on its entertainment segment.

ProSiebenSat.1 Media posted 2019 revenues of €4.1 billion ($4.6 billion), a 3 percent gain, boosted in part by digital advertising and gains at Red Arrow Studios.

Max Conze, CEO of ProSiebenSat.1, told World Screen about the rationale behind a potential sale of Red Arrow Studios during a press roundtable at MIPCOM today.

ProSiebenSat.1 Media said its first-quarter revenues were up 4 percent to €913 million ($1 billion), driven by its content production, global sales and commerce businesses.

While 2018 revenues fell slightly to 4 billion euros ($4.5 billion) at ProSiebenSat.1 Media, the group is still forecasting a mid-single-digit percentage increase for 2019, driven by its content production, global sales and commerce businesses.

Wolfgang Link and Michaela Tod have been tapped as co-CEOs of the entertainment business at ProSiebenSat.1 as part of a management restructure under CEO Max Conze.

ProSiebenSat.1 Media and Discovery have announced plans to combine their streaming assets in Germany to create a new platform, bringing together 7TV, maxdome and Eurosport Player and inviting other local broadcasters to participate.

Max Conze has been appointed as CEO of ProSiebenSat.1 Media, effective June 1, succeeding Thomas Ebeling.
