Expanding to LG Channels is another important step in making our offering more accessible and visible.”KultKrimi brings back the golden age of German television crime series, featuring classics such as Derrick, Der Alte, Ein Fall für zwei, Percy Stuart and Faust. With around 1,500 episodes, the channel offers extensive binge-worthy content for fans of retro detective stories.Telenovela ZDF is dedicated to emotion-driven storytelling, with titles such as Bianca – Wege zum Glück, Julia – Wege zum Glück, Hanna – Folge deinem Herzen and Alisa – Folge deinem Herzen, delivering tales of love, conflict and dramatic twists.The addition of LG Channels further strengthens Mainstream Media’s footprint in the DACH region, with more distribution partnerships already under discussion.Currently, KultKrimi and Telenovela ZDF are accessible via Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Titan OS, VIDAA, waipu.tv, Pluto TV and YouTube, reaching viewers across TV sets, smart TV platforms and streaming services.
