From what I'd read though although Magenta TV have all 51 matches that ARD and ZDF had 34, including all German games, and the other 17 would be on RTL.
RTL have 12 matches, leaving 5 exclusive to Magenta. They initially announced 17, but renegotiated to 12. Part of that deal also involved RTL producing Magentas coverage, them sharing the on-screen personality and studio at RTLs HQ in Cologne ... and this obnoxious cornerlogo on RTL during the broadcast:
This was the last game exclusive to Magenta. RTL still got one of the quarter finals, all other matches are being broadcast by ARD and ZDF.
