MagentaTV Takes Over German Television Award Gala on ZDF this Year
Annual Awards Ceremony to Air on ZDF Today - ZDF will broadcast the TV Awards Ceremony this year.
Get ready for a change! ZDF will be hosting the 2023 TV prize gala for the German Television Award, with MagentaTV taking charge this time. The event, set to air on September 10 at 8:15 PM, will be a spectacle to remember given MagentaTV's creative control.
For those unfamiliar, MagentaTV is Deutsche Telekom's unique offering combining traditional linear TV with streaming services and exclusive content on its platform. This time around, it's partnering with ZDF to bring you an unforgettable show.
A distinct feature of the German Television Award is that the creative control passes to a different broadcaster every year. Previously, ARD aired the show, while ZDF last hosted it in 2022. Supported by ARD, RTL, Sat.1, ZDF, and Deutsche Telekom, the award also includes streaming partners like Disney+, Netflix, and Prime Video.
The jury of experts, which includes presenter Laura Karasek, journalist Stephan Lamby, and actresses Collien Ulmen-Fernandes and Valerie Niehaus, will be deciding the winners. As in previous years, the event will span two nights to reduce congestion, with the Night of Creatives honoring industry figures who typically work behind the scenes in a formal yet intimate setting.
Although Deutsche Telekom's MagentaTV's role in the German Television Award, particularly for the 2023 TV Prize Gala, is not extensively detailed in the search results, MagentaTV is known for its extensive coverage of various events, including basketball. In fact, Deutsche Telekom won the "Best Sports Program" award for its coverage of Germany's victory at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 at the 2024 German Television Awards.
