I really like Europe news intros... Minimalist and the graphics is awesome!!

[@isaaclowe8177]

This is great! Interesting to compare them to their opposite numbers in the UK. Mostly larger, more open studios, many with large quirky desk centrepieces out of line with the UK's somewhat pedestrian blocks with decoration on the outside and computers on the inside, I'm a big fan. WDR's studio in particular stands out with it's interesting right angled wings and multiplanar studio. Also interesting that the German anchors tend to stand even behind their desks. Something that appeals greatly to me from my stint in UK Independent Radio. I'm also wildly Impressed with the graphics packages some of even the smaller regionals are using. We tend to be very low key with graphics in the UK, such as with ITV essentially only using their green screen sets to project fake backgrounds. The German channels seem to be using the technology much more effectively for the display of their on screen graphics and still images. As the owner of a small telly something like Zeute's full screen graphics would be lovely compared to the images in the background of the national BBC news programs for example. I can think of one big thing I don't like very much though as compared to the UK counterparts - the opening musical themes are all very dull! The best in the selection had to be the Tagesschau opening, which did have a certain degree of grandeur, helped considerably by the perfect cueing of the presenter and studio apparatus (something that was lacking in some of the local bulletins), certainly to my mind though, most of the regional music themes were deep into the (generic) categorisation, I can't see any of them catching your attention the way that even some of the weaker competition in the UK like the Sky News theme can. Overall very interesting selection, I'll watch a few more of these programs in full in order to have a better look at their presentation. Thanks for going to the effort to record, edit and post all this :) I'm sure it couldn't have been easy.

[@tevebits]

Thank you very much for that brilliant comparison. I agree, especially regarding the opening themes. Most of the german ones don't really grab your attention. There is almost no tradition to news themes in Germany. Most stations will simply adopt a whole new tune when they change their graphics instead of rearranging their signature melody. The Tagesschau is one noteable exception - its basic opening theme is almost 70 years old. The latest iteration is from 2014 and has been arranged by Hans Zimmer.

[@raileon]

great comment! I think the reason why the local stations have larger budgets and better graphics/studios is because they are the the framework for the larger public station ARD. The ARD is organized from the bottom up, meaning that the local stations (WDR, BR etc.) all do their own thing and cooperate to form the ARD and all of its news and cultural programs. NDR for example is responsible for the Tagesschau, while RBB is responsible for the Mittagsmagazin and WDR for the Morgenmagazin. In the UK its the other way around, the BBC is one organization which creates multiple subdivisions which then do the local reporting.

[@brokkrep]

What a great in-depth analysis! It was really good to read and you made the differences clear.

[@AlexanderWalther]

@@tevebits that's not true in general. ZDF heute, RTL aktuell, but also SWR, ProSieben an others kept their melody and rearranged them. ZDF heute is outstanding in this case, you will always hear this beeping Morse rhythm in the beginning. They mean h - e - u - t - e in Morse. Since decades.

[@tevebits]

@@AlexanderWalther Granted, I overstated it a litte bit to make a point. There are some themes that have stayed on for a long time, but very few have ALWAYS kept the same melody. RTL for instance ran their original theme from 1984 until 1995 but then changed it to something completely different a few times. The current basic melody has been in use since about 1998, but it's by no means the original one. You are right about the morse tones in the ZDF intro. Also, they did keep their melody for a long time - but I would argue they changed it drastically with the launch of the green hell (drastically as in too much).

[@EFify2563]

My favorites are RTL Aktuell, ARD Tagesschau/Tagesthemen, ZDF Heute/Heute Journal/Heute Plus, WDR Aktuell/Aktuelle Stunde, Hessenschau, RTL 2 News and Rundschau!

Können wir bitte darüber reden wie verboten gut das Sounddesign von WeLT ist? Ich kriege jedes Mal so Gänsehaut, das wirkt so edel Drantisch, so weltgewandt und seriös, so ernst und gleichzeitig offen. Definitiv eines der allerbesten in Deutschland, das muss sich auch sonst im internationalen Vergleich (BBC und Co) nicht verstecken. Über Inhalte, sichtweisen und Axel Springer (der Medienkonzern hinter WeLT) lässt sich redlich streiten, aber das Intro, das Design ist fantastisch. Wäre es nicht Axel Springer, wäre WeLT allein vom Design her eine meiner absoluten Favourite News 🤷🏼‍♂️ Wäre interessant eure Meinungen, eben gerade auf den internationalen Vergleich zu hören 🙏☺️

[@-.-._.-.-._.-.-._.-.-._.-.-]

Jonas ich stimme dir in allen Punkten vollkommen zu! Das liegt daran, dass die Musik von Hans Zimmers Team komponiert wurde. Allerdings harmoniert meiner Meinung nach der Sound mit dem Studio im Springer-Neubau nicht so gut. Das alte N24-Set passte da besser zu der Musik.

Awesome compilation. But one thing is missing: the main late edition of “rbb24” with usually airs at around 21:45 CET and comes from the studio of the “rbb Abendschau”, hence its different opening style and theme music which should be documented here as well. - Keep up the good work!

[@tevebits]

Thanks! I included the late edition of RBB24 in the last compilation here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eISZnaqJlpiUnM0 This time I decided to show the other version, since that one is used more often. But to be honest: I like the late intro better :-)

Finally, updating the Germany News Intro. Same question like Austria one before, is Uhladko and Luzyca are weekly news? If yes for whom this news broadcasted? Next how about updating Switzerland because this is your first news intro compilation video uploaded in your channel.

[@tevebits]

Wuhladko (MDR) and Luzyca (RBB) are magazine shows in Sorbian, a minority language in the Lausitz region of eastern Germany. I did not include them because they are only broadcast once a month. Switzerland is on the list, but other countries will come first. Thanks for your support.

[@rezaalan3991]

@@tevebits woah, i think it news program coverage for neighbour countries like Poland or Czech Republic.

[@TheInfi]

@@rezaalan3991 It's not coverage for the neighbor countries. Every household in Germany pays a license fee for public broadcasting, and they obviously can't force the neighbor countries to pay. Also, those broadcasters are required to make a news program in Sorbian as it's an officially recognized minority language.

Germany, where you can get your local news from the ARD state networks, RTL, and Sat.1. I mean, let’s face it, German TV has a federal structure.

[@yf.f4919]

Spain works like that too... but in a slightly more chaotic way. The state television has local out-puts for every region... and every region has a public broadcasting company (no ARD-like consortium). Tevebits will need some time...

[@jiko5331]

This is just a personal preference but I absolutely hate news studios that use green screens for its main studio ( example: rtl aktuell ) and I really dont know why, the only green screen news studio that I like is ITV News At Ten.

[@f623]

Most od German news uses virtual studio. In fact the only channel from the most impotant ones that doesn't use greenscreens are ARD and local ones

[@itjustmeLam]

In my country, some news programs used green screen for displays... And it can be annoying sometimes...(I remember that one mishap where someone head can be seen "breaking" the image as a part of green screen in the studio during a news program)

[@kekitsu]

Are the local broadcasters (like BR, RBB, MDR, etc.) available everywhere in Germany?

[@tevebits]

Yes, they broadcast via satellite to the whole of Central Europe. On cable and DVB-T however, availability varies within Germany. Most regions get a bunch of local stations from other areas, but not always all of them.

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

So every state has it's own TV network?

[@tevebits]

Pretty much. Not quite every state has their proper station though. Some broadcasters cover multiple states (e.g. SWR covers two, NDR covers four). But even then, they will provide opt-outs for every state. The way the ARD is organised is rather interesting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARD_(broadcaster)#Institutions_and_member_organizations

ARD Mittagsmagazin is using RBB's Abendschau studio indeed (RBB produces the ARD Mittagsmagazin). They said this is because of the pandemic.
