SAT.1 is the second pillar of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE and, after launching in 1984 as PKS, was the first privately-owned television station in Germany. Unlike its younger sister ProSieben, it targets an older, family-oriented audience through the long-running Frühstücksfernsehen breakfast show, homegrown crime dramas such as Der letzte Bulle and a rotating slate of entertainment formats. Live and catch-up streaming is free via sat1.de and Joyn.
