*The new RiK: IFC Media and Your Family Entertainment AG relaunch first 
Slovak language Family TV Channel RiK * 
 
*Munich/Germany - Bratislava/Slovakia - 26 November 2020 - IFC Media, a 
leader in the distribution of TV channels and content in the Czech and 
Slovak markets, and Your Family Entertainment AG (YFE) from Germany team up 
to relaunch the first children and family TV channel RiK in Slovakia.* 
 
The international growth of YFE's family of RiC/RiK channels continues: 
After launching its global network in 2019, YFE and IFC Media jointly 
announced today the relaunch of TV RiK, Slovakia's first TV channel for kids 
and families in Slovak language. The new linear Pay TV channel RiK is aimed 
at children and families and will broadcast award-winning films and series 
on a 24h basis. 
 
RiK the Raven, born in Ravensburg, Germany, is not only an iconic animated 
series but also the broadcaster's hilarious mascot for the family of TV 
networks worldwide. The relaunch of RiK in Slovakia represents the next step 
for the territorial expansion of channels after Germany, Austria, 
Switzerland and the launch of RiC International in cooperation with A1 
Telekom (Austria) in 2019. 
 
RiK Slovakia continues the channel's tradition of offering highly 
entertaining content for children and families. It encompasses award-winning 
and educational shows in Slovak language, such as cult animation 
masterpieces "Country Mouse and City Mouse", "Timothy Goes to School", and 
"Marvin the Tap Dancing Horse" for younger kids. The line-up also includes 
international blockbuster series like "Dragon Hunters" or "Rescue Heroes" 
and popular live-action classics like "The Adventures of Family Robinson". 
 
RiK's launch in Slovakia comes at the right time to support kids in the 
current pandemic as lockdowns and social distancing weigh on children in 
particular. RiK's programmes are designed to be entertaining and fun while 
promoting social values and avoiding violence. Parents can thus rely on RiK 
to provide the right kind of entertainment for their loved ones in these 
difficult times. YFE's mission is to promote social values around the world 
through its programmes, a fact that was recently confirmed by Asset Impact, 
a German rating agency for companies compliant with environmental, social 
and governance (ESG) criteria. 
 
"We are very excited about the partnership with YFE and the opportunity to 
return to Slovak families with our first Slovak language TV channel for 
kids. We firmly believe that RiK will enrich the TV-bouquets of all 
operators in Slovakia and fill a gap in the market with its strong focus on 
education, entertainment and promotion of social values," says Jozef Pipek, 
CEO of IFC Media. 
 
Bernd Wendeln, COO and Board Member of YFE, is delighted to announce the RiK 
channel launch: "Our Group strives to expand internationally by teaming up 
with great partners. We are thus excited to join forces with IFC Media and 
are looking forward to a long-term partnership. RiK comes at the exact right 
moment for children and families in Slovakia. The launch is yet another 
excellent example of YFE's ability to expand and build its business 
internationally, even in difficult times."
