ANGA COM 2026

Three days in Cologne. One key topic: AI.

Three days of congress and trade fair, a joint stand with ZVEI in Hall 7, and a packed room for the strategy panel on AI in TV and streaming. ANGA COM 2026 is now behind us — and it showed just how profoundly AI is already changing the media industry today.

AI for TV and Streaming: Best Practices for Greater Efficiency and New Value Creation

Following the keynote by Dr. Joachim Köhler (Fraunhofer IAIS), four industry representatives discussed, moderated by Dr. Jörn Krieger, where AI is already having an impact in media companies today. The moderator set the framework right at the start: no visions of the future, no theoretical scenarios, but concrete applications in the here and now.

From the discussion: AI is already here.

Nicole Agudo Berbel, Chairwoman of the DTVP and CDO of Seven.One Entertainment Group, highlighted concrete practice: the recommendation engine at Joyn, personalized FAST channels, and the AI assistant “Joyce,” which answers user questions. “Today, these services are hardly conceivable without AI anymore.”

“AI is a given. It is integrated into virtually every software solution, every tech stack, and is no longer even advertised separately. As a technology, AI has therefore fully arrived in the media & entertainment industry.”

“Whether AI is a ‘yes or no?’ no longer needs to be discussed. AI is here, integrated, and as a tool it helps bring services efficiently to multiple platforms – as a workflow engine.”
