The Media over IP and Smart Media working groups of Deutsche TV-Plattform are under new management. In the course of taking over the chairmanship of the Executive Board from Andre Prahl, Nicole Agudo Berbel, Joyn / Seven.One Entertainment Group, is handing over the management of the Smart Media working group to Dr Siegbert Meßmer, Seven.One Entertainment Group. He has already worked alongside her as Deputy Head of the WG for the past three years. Frank Heineberg, RTL Deutschland, will take over the management of the Media over IP WG from Dr Niklas Brambring, who is leaving Zattoo.

In accordance with the articles of association, both new AG heads are also members of the Deutsche TV-Plattform Board.

Both are proven experts and long-standing insiders of the association, who will actively shape our core topics and set the appropriate priorities. On behalf of the Executive Board and the members, I would like to thank Nicole Agudo Berbel and Nick Brambring for their great commitment and outstanding leadership of the working groups in recent years.’
