Evening show (SDR, SWF and HR)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Abendschau was a regional news magazine from the early phase of the television programming of public broadcasters in post-war Germany. It was produced from 1955 to 1973 by several cooperating broadcasters (SDR, SWF and HR) and dealt with news topics from the German south-west (Rhineland-Palatinate, Baden-Württemberg, Hesse). The format is a previous broadcast of the Hessenschau ( HR ) and the SWR Aktuell broadcasts for Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg ( SWR ).

history

On April 23, 1955, the regional magazine “Von Rhein und Neckar” of the SDR was broadcast for the first time, the forerunner of the “Abendschau”. The format was subsequently produced jointly by SDR and SWF . On July 16, the Hessischer Rundfunk got involved. The news magazine operated from now on under the name “Von Rhein, Main und Neckar”. The format was always broadcast on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. The broadcast on Wednesday dealt primarily with state politics, while the broadcast on Saturdays focused on regional reports. In 1955, the Wednesday program was produced by SWF and HR, while the Saturday program was initially produced by SDR and SWF.

From April 1, 1957, the format was renamed "Abendschau" and ran from 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The steady expansion of the radio station's staff in the still young television sector made it possible to broadcast on every working day. The "Abendschau" was now continuously produced in cooperation with HR, SDR and SWF - and broadcast alternately from Frankfurt, Baden-Baden and Stuttgart. One of the focal points of the Monday program was the subject of “sport”, which also had a regional focus. Since each broadcast was alternately served by one of the three broadcasters, the focus of the content of the respective broadcasts was often shifted to the broadcasting area of ​​the broadcasting corporation.

In 1961 HR started the regional magazine Hessenschau and thus withdrew from the cooperation. From now on, SDR and SWF alternately supervised the evening show. It was broadcast every day, except on Sundays. From 1966 onwards, the evening show was broadcast exclusively from the Funkhaus Stuttgart and was thus under the direction of the Süddeutscher Rundfunk. The two broadcasters had previously concluded an administrative agreement. On October 15th, SDR editor-in-chief Emil Obermann took over the management of the Stuttgart joint editorial team .

Since January 3, 1966, there have been two regional editions of the evening show - each for Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate. On February 1, 1973, the regional editions "Abendschau Baden-Württemberg" and "Abendschau Rheinland-Pfalz" were renamed "Abendjournal" in the evening program of SDR and SWF. The “evening journal” ran on weekdays from 6:00 pm to 6:25 pm. In addition, there was a "state show" for both federal states, which was broadcast from 7.45pm to 8pm.

In 1998 SDR and SWR merged to form Südwestrundfunk (SWR). The regional news format was subsequently renamed and changed several times. Until March 31, 2011, the magazine was broadcast as "Baden-Württemberg aktuell" or "Rheinland-Pfalz aktuell" on SWR television. Since 2011 the program has been running under the name “Landesschau aktuell”. On October 5, 2017, the news program was renamed SWR Aktuell Baden-Württemberg and SWR Aktuell Rheinland-Pfalz .
