Munich, July 10, 2006. SevenOne International, the ProSiebenSat.1 Groups worldwide programming sales company, has sold Galileo to China. The program will be broadcast on the nationwide Chinese TV station, CCTV, which already airs another format from the SevenOne International portfolio: Last year CCTV bought the Sat.1 quiz show Clever!.

Said SevenOne International Sales Manager Yan He: Sciencetainment programs are an absolute trend in China. Were delighted that Galileo gave us an ideal chance to serve that demand. The sale will carry us another important step forward into this market. Galileo explains everyday technical and scientific phenomena in an exciting, interesting and understandable way. This formula has been successful not only in Germany but also abroad.

China also has a demand for fiction programs from Germany. SevenOne International has sold a considerable number of movies to Chinese broadcasters over the past few months, including catastrophe miniseries like Tornado, creature catastrophe thrillers like The Crows, and romantic comedies like Bluecard.
