Marketing - Media / Multimedia
German term or phrase: Spartenkanal
Multimedia marketing - I should imagine that it's a special dedicated TV channel for a particular industry. Context: Setzen Sie auf interaktives Fernsehen und generieren Sie attraktive Renditen aus gewinnbringenden Zuschaueraktionen - besonders interessant vor allem für Nebenzeiten, Spartenkanäle oder IP-TV. Thanks a lot!
