Jukebox TV

Jukebox TV is a German private pay-TV music channel that has been on air since November 2007. It is operated by Just Music Fernsehbetriebs GmbH, based in Landshut, Bavaria, and is part of the High View Group. The channel is dedicated entirely to music programming, offering a mix of current pop hits, chart tracks and oldies from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, with occasional tracks from the 1960s and 2000s. Its slogan promises "Grosse Songs, grosse Stars, grosse Musik" — big songs, big stars, big music — and it positions itself as 100% music for enjoying, relaxing and celebrating, with clips from artists such as Adele, Taylor Swift, Robin Schulz, Cro, Rihanna and Herbert Grönemeyer. Distribution has expanded over the years. Jukebox TV is available in Germany via cable operators including Unitymedia KabelBW and Vodafone Kabel Deutschland, and since 2012 it has also been carried by the internet TV platform Zattoo. From 1 October 2014 it became available on Sky Deutschland, and since early 2019 it has been a permanent part of Sky's Starter and Entertainment basic packages. The channel launched an HD simulcast on 8 May 2013, initially available through the Swiss cable operator Quickline; Zattoo added the HD feed at the end of 2017 and waipu.tv followed in spring 2018. The official website also lists carriage via 1&1, Sky, Zattoo, YouTube Primetime Channels and Waipu. As a niche music channel, Jukebox TV relies on advertising and pay-TV carriage fees. Digital advertising is marketed by HiMedia Deutschland AG. The channel is licensed by the Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg, and its management is led by Alexander Trauttmansdorff, who is also responsible for content. Youth protection is handled by Annalena Kriens. The brand remains active as a 24/7 music destination across cable, satellite and streaming platforms in German-speaking Europe.
