It started in January 1984 as PKS, initially a joint venture of various publishing houses. The first broadcast could only be seen by a few people who had cable.

Early programs included old films, mainly from the archives of KirchMedia, American hit-series and gameshows.

Later, the station acquired a name for its homemade series and TV films.

Sat.1 is currently a part of the ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG. The head of Sat.1 is Roger Schawinski.
