Seven.One Media launches ALL21 Roadblocking
Seven.One Media has launched ALL21 Roadblocking, a cross-channel TV ad format that broadcasts identical commercials simultaneously across all ProSiebenSat.1 channels on Thursdays at 21:00. The format premieres on 2026-08-06 and confines synchronized breaks to an exclusive 60-second ad island with no more than three spots, designed to deliver concentrated prime-time reach and high attention. It runs on ProSieben, Sat.1, Kabel Eins, sixx, Sat.1 Gold, Kabel Eins Doku and ProSieben Maxx. REWE, with media agency PION3ERS, is among the first advertisers. The concept, already used by Media for Europe in Italy and Spain, follows MFE’s acquisition of a majority stake in ProSiebenSat.1 and is presented as a way to leverage planned marketing and sales synergies across the group’s combined channels.
Launch of a coordinated, cross-channel linear-TV ad format by a major German broadcaster and its sales house — relevant for TV advertisers and media sales but limited to linear-TV inventory and regional market impact.

MFE Launches ALL21 Total Video Europe for Cross-European TV Ads
MFE-MediaForEurope has launched ALL21 Total Video Europe, a cross-country advertising solution that synchronizes a 60-second ad break at 21:00 across linear TV and digital platforms in Italy, Spain, and Germany, reaching over 14 million individuals. Announced at DMEXCO 2026, this initiative follows MFE's full takeover of ProSieben in September 2025 and involves collaboration among its national sales houses. Michele Giraudo, Chief Revenue Officer at MFE Advertising, described it as the final piece of this collaborative effort. The product aims to strengthen MFE's pan-European ad offering, competing with global tech platforms by leveraging TV's mass simultaneous reach. This launch comes after MFE's H1 2026 revenues declined 6.1% year-on-year, highlighting the strategic importance of this new format.
ProSieben Aims to Own January with Sat.2
Seven.One Media's Chief Revenue Officer Lennart Harendza says the company will continue a combined linear-TV and streaming strategy while adding reach through a new linear channel, Sat.2, launching early next year. The company highlights Joyn as a growing AVOD streamer with up to 12 million monthly users and is introducing a synchronized cross-channel ad format called "All 21" — a roughly 60-second roadblock across seven channels at 21:00 on Thursdays (typically three advertisers per block). Harendza stresses sport (notably the Handball World Championship in January) and entertainment as priorities for the coming season, and notes an early launch advertiser (Rewe) with agency Pion3ers. The interview frames these moves as iterative expansions of reach rather than a wholesale strategy change.
Seven.One Media Brings Pause Ad to Live TV
Seven.One Media is extending its streaming 'Pause Ad' format—previously available only on the Joyn streaming platform—into live, addressable TV across ProSiebenSat.1 channels. The Pause Ad will appear as a ten-second fullscreen creative on internet-connected TVs (HbbTV) when viewers switch to a ProSiebenSat.1 channel, with the live picture reduced in the background and audio continuing. The format and the streaming placement are being sold together as the "Pause Creative Fullscreen Package." The first advertiser to use the combined offer is dairy brand Ehrmann, with Mediaplus buying the campaign for the Milk Twist launch; the campaign runs on Joyn and live CTV devices until August 23, 2026. Seven.One Media limits monthly campaign counts to preserve exclusivity.
