Cologne, Germany -- Heads are rolling again at German commercial channel Sat.1, which on Wednesday dropped network boss Guido Bolten after barely a year at the job.
Bolten came in with an aggressive strategy aimed at winning back market share from competitor Rtl. He pulled out the checkbook to lure comedy star Oliver Pocher and top journo Johannes B. Kerner from the public broadcasters. But the ratings didn't follow. Sat.1's market share in the key 14-49 demo stayed flat at 10.8%, even as Rtl pulled ahead, adding 1.2% to 16.9%
So Bolten is out and channel owner ProSiebenSat.1 is overhauling its entire corporate lineup.
The group has already centralized Fiction programming across its portfolio of German channels -- which alongside Sat.1 include Pro7, Kabel1 and several digital and pay channels -- now it has done the same for entertainment and factual programming.
