History and numbers

The story of the citizen broadcaster rok-tv begins in November 1997 in the Rostock cable network on channel 12. Since then, more than 3800 users (as of 2010) of all ages have contributed with contributions.

In August 2006 the citizen broadcaster recorded 3219 users. This corresponds to around 1.6 percent of the total population of the Hanseatic city of Rostock. The average age of the users was around 34 years. At 62 percent (1,979) there are more male users than female (1,240). The young and middle age groups (under 18 to 35 years) are clearly ahead with 2,254 registered users compared to the older age groups (36 to over 65 years) with 934 registered users. In 10 years, the seven rok-tv employees conveyed their knowledge and experience in 360 camera briefings. On average, a course or a total of around 1100 hours of camera-only instruction was offered about every 10 days. In 10 years the rok-tv employees conveyed their knowledge and experience in 360 editing suite briefings. This also corresponds to a course every 10 days (a total of approx. 1100 hours of pure editing suite instruction). In 10 years, the rok-tv staff also carried out 120 studio instructions. This corresponds to approx. One instruction per month or approx. 360 hours of pure studio instruction. 10 years of rok-tv are equivalent to around 1300 broadcast days. Around 3,250 hours of non-commercial citizen programs were broadcast (not counting the regular repetitions).

TV in Schwerin

Television in Schwerin ("FiSCH-TV") has been on the air as a branch since 2005. As a cooperation of the Schweriner Jugendring e. V. and the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Media Authority, television in Schwerin offers citizens the technical prerequisites to put ideas and projects into practice. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania there is still a Neubrandenburg radio station “ NB-Radiotreff 88.0 ”, which works according to the same principle, with branches in Malchin “Welle Kummerower See” and Greifswald “radio 98eins”. Since autumn 2006, a further 5000 households have been reached by feeding into the Bad Doberan cable network.

Studio and technology

In the rooms of the rok-tv, the producers have a television studio (100 m²) on more than 500 m², from which live broadcasts can also be broadcast, viewing and editing rooms as well as group and seminar rooms. The studio in rok-tv is equipped with three television cameras, a lighting system and a picture control room. It is also possible to work in the blue box process there.
