Signature Specials

The XY Channel is enhancing its original program offerings with several new initiatives.

I'm having trouble expressing the 'signature' part in German. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

This may work, depending on context (and depending on what the 'special' is). See my reference comment below.

Falls es sich bei "new initiatives" um Interviews handelt -
würde sich "Interview Specials" anbieten.

wobei XY hier für den Namen des Senders bezieht,
also z.B. ZDF - Themen,
eine elegante Lösung wäre auch ein Special zu benennen,
also z.B. das Interview-Special bei ZDF.
Den Namen des Senders würde ich auf jedenfall mit reinnehmen.
Er würde hier nämlich gut das "signature" ersetzen.

Reference information:
There was a somewhat similar thread a while ago regarding "signature restaurants". Depending on your context, one of the proposed answers might work in your case as well. "Vorzeige-" does work with a number of subjects I would think.
