While we knew both FOX and TNT were destined to land in Germany at some point, the latter won't be arriving until January of 2009. For those unaware, FOX has actually already launched in Deutschland, but you can bet your bottom dollar, er, Euro, that TNT is hoping to be a formidable competitor. TNT Serie, as it will be dubbed, will unfortunately be aired in 16:9 24 / 7, which likely means at least some content will be shown in stretch-o-vision. Still, we're hearing that the programming lineup will be quite robust, with re-runs of US favorites 30 Rock, Friday Night Lights, Everybody Loves Raymond, Monk, King of Queens and quite a few others. As for carriers, it seems as if discussions are ongoing with a number of cable and IPTV providers, but nothing definitive has been uttered just yet.[Thanks, Chris]
Hey, it's a STRETCH-O-VISION crap-a-thon in Germany. Good luck with that Germany. It bytes here in the states.
Yeah Fox has been over in Germany for at least a decade. It's called Vox. Which is pronounced in German as "Fox". They were the only ones playing NFL games on local national TV. Otherwise you had to depend on the one channel from AFN (Armed Forces Network), which I heard has quite a number of channels now.
What? Not VOX, FOX and no VOX isnt spelled like FOX. The FOX Channel started almost two weeks ago in Germany as stated here on Engadget. Just for the record, VOX never showed NFL Games. AFN is restricted to the Army and you need a Receiver from the Army to receive the signal. Receiving AFN in Germany is just allowed on american german ground and areas where the the Army is located too.
