Fully inclusive television – for over 30 years, Arbeitsgemeinschaft Behinderung und Medien e.V. (abm) has been raising awareness of the living conditions, concerns and interests of people with disabilities with extensive TV broadcast programs throughout Germany. Since 2000, we have supported the initiative with the magazine show CHALLENGE, which is broadcast on kabel eins and SAT.1 Gold on the first Saturday of every month. The thirty-minute report motivates our fellow citizens with disabilities to participate actively in social life. In addition, CHALLENGE informs non-disabled people about the life with disabilities, diminishes prejudices and promotes inclusive thinking. In 2017, the youth magazine "yoin" and the talk show "Krauthausen – face to face" were the first fully inclusive series to be integrated into the format, with optional subtitles, sign-language interpreters and soundtracks with audio description. This is an important development for the accessible television of the future, which ProSiebenSat.1 Group’s stations are actively shaping.

In November 2021, the Green Seven took place for the 13th time and, under the motto "The truth about our food", made the complex topic of nutrition transparent and tangible. The heart of the Green Seven 2021 were the reports "Green Seven Report: Enjoy your meal - what are we really eating?" and "JENKE. The food experiment.". Also, the magazines "taff" and "Galileo" showed features on the subject throughout the week.
