The Club 2 was a discussion program of the second television ORF (before 1992: FS 2 , since ORF 2 ), which was popular because of their relevance and themes explosiveness and aired first on 5 October 1976 to 28 February 1995 in total 1401 spending. From December 12, 2007 to December 12, 2012, the new concept of the “new” Club 2 was shown on ORF 2 every Wednesday . From November 2, 2011, ORF III broadcast a “Best of Club 2” on Tuesdays under the general theme of television as it was then , starting with the first Club 2 on October 5, 1976.
The "old" Club 2
description
Club 2 was usually broadcast twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings around 10:30 p.m. according to the time in the picture . A special feature of the talk show was the unlimited airtime, so some discussions lasted late into the night. The idea and development came from Kuno Knöbl , who directed the show for many years. She is considered a model for many other discussion programs abroad, such as After Dark on the BBC and Channel 4.
The visual trademark of the first edition of the "Club" from 1976 to 1994 was the economical equipment, which consisted only of a brown leather suite, which was mostly composed of two benches and two armchairs, which were grouped around a glass table. Since the program did not use any other scenery, the lighting in the studio was chosen in such a way that the TV viewer had the illusion of a completely black background and only the leather furniture was fully illuminated. This avoided the distraction of both the audience and the guests from the discussion.
From April 11, 2007 to August 2007, ORF 2 broadcast the program Extrazimmer as part of a program reform under General Director Alexander Wrabetz , the dramaturgy of which wanted to lean in fragments on Club 2, which the provisional working title Club 2 1/2 made clear. In August 2007, Extrazimmer was canceled due to a lack of public acceptance and repeated scathing reviews. In autumn 2007, the management decided to resume Club 2 under the original name and an almost identical concept. On December 12, 2007, the broadcast was included again in the ORF 2 program (see The “new” Club 2 below).
Outstanding programs
The first issue on October 5, 1976 was about the German federal election . The host was Günther Nenning . Disputes about the Zwentendorf nuclear power plant , which was never put into operation , about feminism and the planned hydropower plant and the occupation of the Au near Hainburg an der Donau are legendary . The writer Wolfgang Bauer caused a stir in 1987 when he pulled a pistol (unloaded, it turned out) in front of the cameras and held it to his temple. Host Rudolf Nagiller was physically attacked by two skinheads in an open broadcast .
The issue of Club 2 on August 9, 1979 with the title “What is wrong with youth culture?” Caused a particular “excitement”. During the live broadcast pointed Nina Hagen at how women via the direct stimulation of their clitoris to orgasm could get. The result was weeks of discussion. When the program even appeared to be threatened with dismissal for some time, a kind of "rescue committee" formed from public figures such as Günther Nenning. As a first consequence, Dieter Seefranz had to resign as the moderator of Club 2. In the broadcast of June 13, 1978 with the title "1968 - Year of the Uprising", Daniel Cohn-Bendit and Rudi Dutschke met with the world journalist Matthias Walden and the political scientist Kurt Sontheimer on Austrian "neutral" soil , under the direction of Günther Nenning to exchange ideas.
During a broadcast entitled "Radiant Future" in the early 1980s, the Hungarian-American physicist and nuclear weapons developer Edward Teller - who was charged as the father of the hydrogen bomb - gave a technocratic and cold talk about the devastating radiation effects of the then much-discussed neutron bomb on people, that the Swiss scientist Ursula Koch started to cry during the discussion. Der Spiegel later described Teller's appearance as that of a "gloomy Jahve ". According to one of the editors later, Koch was also chosen because she "is guaranteed not to cry when something terrible [from Teller] comes."
The ORF “Club 2” discussion on the “Caribbean 1” business in May 1994 was presented as evidence in the 2007 BAWAG trial in the courtroom. As with the first edition, Günther Nenning hosted the last edition of the "old club" on February 28, 1995. The theme was " rebirth ".

The "new" Club 2
Description of the first two editions
When Club 2 was resumed on December 12, 2007, the theme was “The opinion factories - who determines what we think?”. This issue naturally received a lot of media attention in advance. For a long time, the live broadcast discussed the importance of the Internet in its opinion-forming capacity. Differences between the quality of “professionally designed editorial content” and user-generated content (UGC) were also discussed. Although a discussion with open-end was announced in advance, discussion leader Rudolf Nagiller was noticeably heading towards an end after 60 minutes; the broadcast lasted around 75 minutes.
The second broadcast of the second edition, directed on December 19, 2007 by Michael Köhlmeier , dealt with the topic of "atheism" and a possible boom in godlessness that is currently being recorded. Once again, the open end turned into an approximately 75-minute broadcast, which was clearly broken off by the action of the discussion leader, not by the course of the discussion itself. The subject matter and type of requests to speak would have been enough for another hour of lively exchange. Special features of the second broadcast: YouTube videos as an introduction; Protest by the invited pastor Sieberer (no consultation with him regarding the YouTube videos shown); A swipe from Köhlmeier to Interior Minister Günther Platter on the Zogaj case ("I wish our Interior Minister [for Christmas] a warm heart") and "crazy credits" after the broadcast when a program information for ZIB 24 was displayed, although this news broadcast on ORF 1 had long been was over.
Latest edition
On December 12, 2012, the ORF broadcast the last edition. The topic was: "Ripped off: Has capitalism failed?"
