history
founding
IA television was Germany's first regional television station based on the American model. It went on the air on November 28, 1993. The name IA (pronounced Eins A ) comes from the earlier Berlin license plate . The founder of the station, which was broadcast in Berlin on frequency 175.25 (channel 5), the frequency of the former first program of German television , was the filmmaker and founder of the radio station Hundert, 6 , Ulrich Schamoni . In addition to Schamoni (10 percent), the channel's co-shareholders were the US media group Time Warner (21 percent), George Soros (21 percent) and CME (40 percent).
development
The former ZDF correspondent Werner Brüssau initially acted as the first editor-in-chief . This was ousted on April 9, 1994. In his place, the former Bild boss Michael Stellmacher took the post of editor-in-chief.
Stellmacher focused on being “close to the citizen” and restructured the station's program. IA television should become a “point of contact for everyone”. The programs mentioned below were continued. The three-hour news program Nonstop was renamed IA-Der Tag and reduced to one hour. The reason for this was that the costs were too high for a local broadcaster.
After hard arguments behind the scenes, Schamoni and Time Warner split. The new managing director Dietmar Straube renamed the previous IA television to Puls TV on May 10, 1996 . Ulrich Schamoni, whose lifelong dream was this local television station, left the company. With the new name “Puls TV” from May 10, 1996, the program structure was also changed. In May 1997 the station had to file for bankruptcy and TV Berlin took over the frequency on September 1, 1997.
program
The program broadcast around the clock and tried, among other things, to win viewers with the three-hour live news program Nonstop (later IA-Der Tag ) and to compete with the third SFB and ORB programs . That didn't work. While the ORB showed fish as a test image at night and a measurement image at the SFB, Schamonis IA provided its viewers with the latest news and additional information accompanying the program via a screen newspaper. The program itself included magazine programs, but also films and series.
