Wolfgang Link, CEO of ProSiebenSat.1 TV Deutschland, remarks, The review of 2017 takes on two aspects. In the summer particularly, our channels were not as successful as we would have wished. In the fourth quarter we were able to extend our lead over the IP Group to 3.0 percentage points, thanks to significantly better performance. I take a very optimistic view of 2018. On our big channels we have a good balance of successful tried-and-true programming and innovative new formats. I'm especially looking forward to Das Ding des Jahres' on ProSieben.

This year ProSieben impressed all target audiences with its shows, with brilliant results from tried-and-true brands like Germany's next Topmodel - by Heidi Klum, Schlag den Star, Das Duell um die Welt, Die beste Show der Welt, and The Voice of Germany. ProSieben also earned points with new shows like Beginner gegen Gewinner with Joko Winterscheidt, Schlag den Henssler, and Die Promi-Darts-WM 2017. Wissens-TV on ProSieben also showed strong results. ProSieben engaged younger viewers' enthusiasm for special topics with Galileo, Galileo Big Pictures, Green Seven Report, 10 Fakten, Ein Mann, eine Wahl with Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, and Uncovered with Thilo Mischke. In 2017 ProSieben became godparent to the little polar bear Quintana from Munich's Hellabrunn Zoo as part of Green Seven.
