The Frisian Broadcasting Corporation is a regional television broadcaster based in Friedeburg ( Lower Saxony ). The main program FRF1 has its transmission area in north-western Lower Saxony. On August 15, 2005, the Frisian Broadcasting Service began broadcasting initially from the rear as a test and has been broadcasting regularly since September 19, 2005. In 2007 the Friesian Broadcasting Company moved to Sande and in January 2018 the move to Friedeburg followed
The FRF4 program for southern western Lower Saxony started broadcasting in November 2007 and was discontinued in early 2011. The reason was the start of the regional television station OS1.tv. In return, the Lower Saxony State Media Authority assigned the cable networks in the districts of Cuxhaven and Stade to the Frisian Broadcasting Corporation.
reception
The Frisian Broadcasting Program can only be received on cable TV . The distribution area of FRF1 initially extended over 16 rural districts, four independent cities, five islands and was receivable in 400,000 analogue and digital cable households. Was to receive FRF1 initially via the channel of BBC World in the period from 09: 00-12: 00 and 21: 00-00: 00. The exception is Borkum, where broadcasts are only broadcast in the mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Since December 1, 2011, the station has its own channel (formerly TV5) and broadcasts 24 hours a day. FRF sends in a one-hour transmission loop, this is updated at 6:00 p.m.
Since April 2012, the Frisian broadcasting has been broadcast nationwide in unencrypted digital form in the Lower Saxony cable network and reaches over 1.2 million households. Since July 14, 2016, the station can no longer be received in some parts of Lower Saxony.
At the cable head-end station in Bremer Umland, the broadcasting slot was shared with the television station Regio TV from Lohne. So there is a continuous loop in which each station is shown for about an hour.
From July 1, 2020, the television station can also be received by Telekom on "MagentaTV" and "MeinKabel heim". Thus, the Frisian broadcasting together with the cable network of Vodafone KabelDeutschland reaches around 4.3 million households.
particularities
In Lower Saxony, private regional broadcasting was banned until 2010. A private television station had to broadcast throughout Lower Saxony. That is why the Frisian Broadcasting Corporation only received approval as a media service. The Frisian Broadcasting Corporation was therefore only allowed to broadcast moderations as sales events. Messages, on the other hand, had to be shown as text on a treadmill. At the beginning of 2009, however , the Lower Saxony state government decided to change the Lower Saxony state media law. In addition, it should be checked whether private regional broadcasting should also be permitted in Lower Saxony.
Partner of the FRF
The Frisian Broadcasting Corporation, which was the first regional television broadcaster in Lower Saxony to go on air after a change in the state media law, had seven shareholders as of 2011. However, these parted with their shares after the station remained in the red for the fifth year. The station was then acutely threatened with closure. The employees then bought all of the former shareholders' shares.
criticism
In the summer of 2007, the Lower Saxony State Media Authority issued a warning to the Frisian Broadcasting Corporation after the broadcaster repeatedly disregarded the requirements of the Lower Saxony Media Act. In the case of a trade show in Wittmund, East Frisia, interviews with citizens present were broadcast, although contributions to music were still forbidden at the time. In response to the warning, the Frisian Broadcasting Corporation stopped broadcasting at the Wittmund / Burhafe head-end station for 14 days. At a demonstration organized by Karl-Heinz Sünkenberg , however, it was announced that broadcasting operations would be resumed on the next broadcast day.
