FAQ

What clients ask about TV Sender Sylt1.

How much of my time does a film for TV Sender Sylt1 take?
Depending on the length, between around 30 minutes and three hours on site. We arrive prepared, bring everything with us and work independently of your premises, your power supply and your staff.
Do I also get the film for my own channels?
Yes. You receive the file and can use it on your website, in your newsletter and on social media. We deliver the versions in all formats: 16:9 for the big screen, 9:16 for Reels and Stories, plus feed formats.
What does "exclusive per village" mean for the island village portraits?
Each village is given to exactly one partner. If you book Kampen, you are the only partner featured in that village documentary, with no competitor alongside you. The documentary airs around 100 times a year on cable TV and stays permanently in the media library. List is already taken; the other nine villages are currently available.
Can I measure whether it worked?
Partly. Views in the media library and on YouTube can be measured, as can clicks via the QR code on the video banner, which takes viewers straight from the video to your offer. Traditional TV broadcasting has no click count; there, viewer numbers and the time slot are what count. That is why we agree in advance how we will measure success.
