The MySports schedule also includes magazines, features and documentaries from Red Bull’s programme makers.

The content will be shown on both the basic channel, MySports HD, as well as in the broader MySports Pro channel package.

The cooperation with Red Bull Media House will initially run for three years.

“Thanks to the partnership and complementary programming through the live events and magazines from Red Bull Media House, we can up the adrenaline ante for our viewers even further while presenting new scheduling focal points. I am thrilled that we can offer our viewers such a wide variety of sports,” said Steffi Buchli, MySports director of programming.
