center.tv Münster (formerly wm.tv) was a regional television station for the districts of Steinfurt , Borken , Coesfeld , the Warendorf district and the city of Münster in the Münsterland, the Recklinghausen district in the Ruhr area as well as the Kleve district (except Rheurdt ) and the district Wesel (except for Kamp-Lintfort , Moers , Rheinberg , Neukirchen-Vluyn , Hünxe and Dinslaken ) on the Lower Rhine with headquarters in Bocholt . On May 29, 2014 broadcasting was stopped due to economic problems.

The program consisted mainly of news, reports on events in the region and advice programs. Most of the programs were moderated by freelancers or members of the editorial team.

The operator, wm.tv GmbH, has been dissolved since February 28, 2014 and is in liquidation. The current approval ends in May 2014 and an extension has not been applied for from the responsible state media authority LfM NRW , which means that broadcasting operations will end at the end of the approval at the latest.

background

In May 2004 wm.tv started as the first privately organized local television station in North Rhine-Westphalia as a multi-hour local window on tv.nrw . The station was founded by the two radio and television journalists Klaus Rühling and Stefan Hilbring together with the main shareholder at the time, Wolfgang Kampshoff.

In the first year of broadcasting, wm.tv designed its program solely for the Borken district (Borken district = Westmünsterland - hence the name wm.tv). A year later, the station expanded its programming to include the Steinfurt, Coesfeld and Recklinghausen districts.

Since May 13, 2005, wm.tv GmbH Co. KG has had its own broadcasting license and thus reached around 251,000 households via cable as an independent television station .

In spring 2007, wm.tv was taken over by the logistics company WM-Group (now LB GmbH), which brought about the change in ownership and the move from the Rheder location to the WM-Group premises in Bocholt . The founders Rühling, Hilbring and Kampshoff left wm.tv with the takeover.

This was followed in the summer of 2010 by the renewed expansion of the transmission area to include the city of Münster, the Warendorf and Kleve districts and the northern parts of the Wesel district . A branch was then established in Münster.

On August 1, 2012, wm.tv joined the center.tv family of channels and renamed itself accordingly. The operating company is still wm.tv GmbH.
