List of episodes

Controversy over neo-Nazi reports

In March 2010 the ORF produced a scene episode directed by Ed Moschitz about two young right-wing extremists from Vienna-Favoriten . As part of the filming, the young people attended the final rally for the 2010 municipal council elections in Lower Austria held by right-wing populist FPÖ boss Heinz-Christian Strache in Wiener Neustadt on March 12, 2010 . After the young people had received an autograph from Strache, the sentence Sieg Heil or Heil Hitler should have been said, according to Strache . Thereupon Strache reported to the ORF for inciting National Socialist re-engagement . A few days later, the ORF played the original film material to the public prosecutor and some press representatives. The alleged statements could not be heard on the material.

On March 25, 2010, the ORF broadcast the program due to current events. A special episode of Club 2 was then shown. The guests included Heinz-Christian Strache, ORF editor-in-chief Johannes Fischer , ÖVP club chairman Karlheinz Kopf and constitutional lawyer Heinz Mayer . In the discussion, Strache accused the ORF of having manipulated its footage by removing the National Socialist slogans. He also claimed that the two young people were only at the event at the request of the ORF, because the broadcaster wanted to stage an escalation in front of the camera for its report. He proved this with excerpts from the police interrogation protocols of one of the two right-wing radical youths and a witness, who mentioned a payment of 80 euros for each right-wing extremist slogan. For his part, ORF editor-in-chief Fischer quoted the police interrogation protocol of the second youth, who stated that he did not know anything about such agreements. In the days that followed, the young people spoke up in several newspaper interviews and claimed that the statements cited by Strache had been forced through strong psychological pressure during the interrogations. A video was also released showing one of the two at a Strache event in 2009.

In the meantime, the proceedings against Ed Moschitz for inciting re-engagement have been dropped. Heinz-Christian Strache was reported to the public prosecutor for false statements.

Offshoot

Several successful offshoots developed from the classic Am Schauplatz reports :

• Since March 21, 1997 , “Am Schauplatz extra” has been offering the opportunity for longer, deeper reports at irregular intervals with extended broadcasting time.
• In the program “Am Schauplatzgericht”, which started on October 3, 1997, Peter Resetarits and his team follow processes and their protagonists with the camera.
• In “Schauplatz - Nachgefragt”, themes and protagonists from past programs are taken up again to show the current situation or changes.

Channels, dates and audience numbers

The location was originally broadcast every Tuesday after ZIB 2 at around 10:30 p.m. on ORF 2. At the beginning of the 2000s, the broadcast slot changed to Friday 9:20 p.m. With the program reform by Ms. Zechner, the scene moved from January 17, 2013 to Thursday evening, 9:05 p.m. Sporadic issues are broadcast on 3sat at irregular intervals.
