YFE Eyes Continued Growth for Pay-TV Channel

MUNICH: The expansion of Your Family Entertainment’s (YFE) pay-TV channel, yourfamily, "has been, and will continue to be, a focal point" of business development, the company said in its interim report.

Further carriage deals for the service have been firmed up with Entertain, Telekom Deutschland’s digital television service and Zattoo.

The company says it is also focused on expanding its product catalogue. YFE has entered into sales cooperations with A2 Entertainment, Ruta Ett, Tilapia and Emba Media Management International. The company also took on the animated film Happily N’Ever After, which it will market across TV, home video as well as in licensing and merchandising. "The expansion of the YFE library with such programs as Happily N’Ever After bears witness to the fact that Your Family Entertainment is continually building upon its solid foundation," said a statement from the management board of YFE. 

From January 1 to September 30, YFE reports profits that are up 16 percent to 2.2 million euros, with positive EBITDA.
