Your Family Entertainment AG announced that channel RiC has launched on September 1st its international version in English and German across the Central and Eastern Europe region with A1 Telekom Austria Group as a strong partner to strategically further develop RiC's coverage. As of now pay-TV operators across Eastern-Europe and beyond will be able to add RiC continually to their TV-bouquet. The channel is carried over A1 Telekom Austria Group's direct2home technical platform on Eutelsat 16A, the leading broadcast position for Central and Eastern Europe, with extensive coverage of the CEE region.RiC the Raven is not only an animated series but also the broadcaster's hilarious mascot connecting with a broad international audience.

The start of RiC's international version is a natural evolution following the RiC launch 2012 in GAS (as the only private European German language kids channel) and the successful start of its sister channel RiK 2015 in Slovakia (as the first channel for Kids in Slovak language worldwide). The international version of RiC offers award-winning English and German educational series to the whole family. The high-quality English dialogues have been carefully developed in collaboration with pedagogues over several years - most of its classic stories are based on popular children's books and novels.

RiC content strengthens the English language fluency of the kids, encourages creativity and conveys important social values - this is an important aspect that kids do not necessarily learn at school. This way RiC provides a healthy balance of entertainment and learning or can summarize it as "learning by laughing"!.
