CTV & OTT Market: Welt TV Launches 'Musician Grilling' — Visoon Highlights
At the Screenforce Festival Visoon, the sales joint venture of Axel Springer and Paramount, presented a cross-platform slate of programming it will market, combining linear TV, streaming and digital channels. Welt TV will launch a new late‑summer format called "Musikergrillen" produced in partnership with Rolling Stone Germany. Paramount’s streaming service line‑up (including several announced series and films) and Pluto TV’s new interview format "Yellow Couch" with Patrick Owomoyela were highlighted. Visoon positions the combined portfolio — which includes Welt TV, N24 Doku, Pluto TV, MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon — as complementary across TV, streaming, social and digital channels. Visoon executives Franjo Martinovic and Kai Ladwig framed the offering as a platform‑agnostic video inventory for advertisers.
