Bonzai
Bonzai was an Austrian television magazine that appeared every two weeks from 2005 to 2009.
The approx. 20-minute magazine was produced by students on the “Digital TV - DTV” course at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences and was on air for the first time on May 5, 2005.
It was developed exclusively by students. All positions - from the editor to the director - were filled by students. Daniel Hammer, director at KiKA , and editor Burgl Czeitschner, known for programs such as X-Large (an ORF youth magazine in the 1980s) or Confetti-TV (ORF children's program), were on hand to advise them.
Most of the contributions were produced in the students' free time; the required A / V material was provided by the FH's own A / V rental.
The studio recording took place every two weeks under the supervision of Daniel Hammer in the in-house television studio .
With this program, the students had the opportunity to put what they had learned into practice immediately and to learn to assert themselves in the free market economy, which is an important part of the concept of the universities of applied sciences.
Each program was rotated on two days of the week on SalzburgTV and thus broadcast throughout Europe via satellite.
As of March 2007, the magazine became part of the DVB-H field test "mobile tv austria" (digital terrestrial television on mobile devices), which was jointly carried out by ORF, mobilkom austria , Hutchison Drei Austria , Siemens Austria , ORS ( Österreichische Rundfunksender GmbH ) and at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences is currently being broadcast - in abbreviated form - on ORF.mobile in the Vienna area.
In addition, there was the possibility to watch all programs via stream on the website, which was also programmed by the students themselves.
The FH television magazine Bonzai underwent a complete relaunch in October 2008 and has since presented itself with a new design.
After a nationwide casting in 2008, Bonzai was moderated by the two Welle-1 moderators Eva Maria Reiter and Manuel Waldner.
The format was discontinued in October 2009.
