How Atmedia’s Thematic Channels Deliver Smarter Advertising Results

Compared to full-format TV, thematic channels with clearly profiled audiences do offer real benefits. Make them work to your advantage!

  • Broad Audience Reach

    Reaching 4.3 million Czech viewers every month, Atmedia’s thematic channels account for 46% of the Czech TV audience. In the 18–69 target group, it even reaches 49% of TV viewers, which equals 3.1 million Czech viewers.

  • Diverse Audience Portfolio

    Thematic channels are an effective means of reaching diverse audiences. While documentary and sports channels typically attract male viewers, lifestyle and family channels tend to appeal more to female audiences. This flexibility enables advertisers to opt for either broad exposure or precise targeting – such as affluent young men or urban families with children.

  • Affluent Viewers

    Viewers of thematic channels do form a valuable audience segment, marked by strong purchasing power and a preference for quality. Their decision to pay for premium TV content is just one example of a broader tendency to invest in top-tier products and services.

  • Every Brand Has Got Its Channel

    Targeted advertising that delivers. No matter the product - from travel deals to fitness kit or home décor – our thematic channels do link your brand to viewers with a genuine interest. Binge-watchers, globetrotters, or food lovers – we’ve got them all covered.

  • Premium Content for Both Viewers and Advertisers

    Our thematic channels offer high-quality programming – from globally acclaimed films, series and documentaries to animated children’s content, lifestyle shows featuring international stars, and live coverage of major sporting events. Aligning your brand with premium content ensures visibility among even the most discerning viewers.

  • A Trusted Partner

    The largest Czech media agencies representing TV advertisers choose to run their campaigns on our thematic channels. Backed by years of experience and trusted client relationships, we’ve built a reputation as a reliable partner – one that consistently delivers results and supports the brand growth.

TV Advertising Is Far Too Expensive

TV advertising is no longer reserved for major brands. Small and medium-sized businesses can benefit too – often at a lower cost than other media.

TV Advertising Lacks Effectiveness

Pravda

The numbers speak for themselves! Every CZK invested in TV advertising delivers an average return of 5,94 CZK in sales. TV’s unique power lies in its ability to create shared experiences and stir emotion. Studies consistently show that viewers pay more attention to TV ads than to any other format – leading to stronger message retention. In competitive retail environments, this makes TV the channel that keeps your brand top of mind.

TV Ad Impact Is Hard to Measure

Pravda

Contrary to common belief, TV advertising is, in fact, fully measurable. Nielsen – an independent measurement and analytics company – provides robust data on audience reach, frequency, and targeting effectiveness. Plus, TV runs on GRPs - a transparent and standardised currency recognised across the entire media market.

TV Advertising Loses Credibility

Pravda

Television remains one of the most trusted media platforms. With strict regulation and content standards, it provides a safe, credible environment for both viewers and advertisers. Brands do benefit from being placed alongside high-quality, verified content – free from misinformation and fake news. TV advertising also carries a sense of prestige, helping to elevate brand perception among consumers.
