kabel eins

Kabel Eins (German pronunciation: [ˌkaːbl̩ ˈˀaɪ̯ns]; meaning Cable One) is a German free-to-air television channel that was launched on 29 February 1992 as Der Kabelkanal (pronounced [deːɐ̯ ˈkaːbl̩.kaˌnaːl]).

It is largely known for airing classic American films as well as TV series and documentaries.

Kabel Eins has regularly taken over TV series from ProSieben when they were not successful enough or had already been broadcast several times.

An example is Without a Trace, which was considered a failure on ProSieben but is quite successful on Kabel Eins.

The station focuses entirely on documentaries and reports and can be seen on free-to-air television.
