history

On November 30, 1992, n-tv began broadcasting in an old building on Taubenstrasse in Berlin. Although today's program is partly similar to the older Eureka TV , n-tv is considered to be the first German news broadcaster, since in the early days of the station, daily news took up a larger amount of time than today and only later did the focus shift more to documentary programs. The first managing director of n-tv was Karl-Ulrich Kuhlo , the founder of the company; the first editor-in-chief was the long-time ARD correspondent Peter Staisch until September 1994 . In December 1992, the US news channel CNN joined n-tv. The Atlanta broadcaster initially held 27.5 percent of n-tv, later 50 percent. This made it possible for the station to broadcast its programs via the Astra 1B satellite just a few days after it started broadcasting , as it was able to use a satellite frequency originally assigned to CNN, which CNN had originally rented for its own Germany project.

On February 10, 1997, Helmut Brandstätter became the new managing director and program editor-in-chief of n-tv. In 1999 Karl-Ulrich Kuhlo moved to the head of the supervisory board. Ken Jautz became the new managing director. The website n-tv.de was launched in May and today it has up to 110 million page views per month.

On August 13, 2002, the RTL Group took over 50 percent of the shares in n-tv. Since then, the station has also been marketed by IP Deutschland . Up to this time, GWP media-marketing Verlagsgruppe Handelsblatt GmbH, which belongs to the Holtzbrinck Group, took over the marketing of the advertising times.

Karl-Ulrich Kuhlo sold his 0.75 percent stake in 2003 and handed over his position as chairman of the supervisory board to Ken Jautz ( CNN ). Johannes Züll took over the management of n-tv in March. Two months later, the station starts with a new program scheme and design.

In 2004 the station moved with most of the editorial staff to Cologne-Ossendorf . A new digital broadcasting center was put into operation for n-tv in the VOX building . The politics and talk editorial team stayed in the capital. The station's official headquarters are in Cologne.

In 2006, the RTL Group took over the shares of the previous partner CNN. After a warning from the Federal Cartel Office on February 6, 2006, the takeover was finally approved on April 12, 2006. The authority recognized that the takeover was a “restructuring merger”.

Hans Demmel has been his successor in the role of managing director since September 2007 .

In September 2010 n-tv moved into the new broadcasting center of Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland, the Rheinhallen in Cologne-Deutz .

On October 1, 2013, n-tv began broadcasting in HD on Telekom Entertain .

Since April 1, 2014, the HD branch has also been available via satellite via HD + . to recieve.

On September 1, 2017, n-tv redesigned the brand identity and also published a new logo. The previous claim “ The news channel” has been replaced by the new “ We'll stay tuned” claim . For the first time, the dividing line between n and tv has been dispensed with in the logo. The news channel will continue to be communicated as n-tv.

news

Basically, n-tv shows news every hour on the hour, in the morning between 6 a.m. and 12 noon also every half hour. With the redesign at the end of 2008, the names of the previous formats Der Morgen (7 a.m. to 12 p.m.), The Noon (12 noon to 3 p.m.), The Day (6 p.m.), The Evening (9 p.m.) and The Night (11 p.m.) were dropped . Since then, the news at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. has been distinguished from the rest by a special opening and has the time in the title (6 p.m. news) . These four programs are supposed to offer a particularly comprehensive overview of the current news as flagship products, while the others are partly "in flux" due to the work flow of a news broadcaster.

criticism

In the past, the fitness and wellness magazine “Gesund & Schön” has been criticized because some saw the show as being too positive and uncritical about the topic of cosmetic surgery.

In 2005 the station was criticized by the Evangelical Press Service together with 3sat for broadcasting reports on World Vision projects or the Christoffel Blindenmission project for which the aid organizations had paid for in advance. The German Council for Public Relations did not find any improper conduct during this process.

According to a study by the Cologne Institute for Empirical Media Research, the station gave the news only 34.7% (1997: 63.3%) of the airtime in 2007. Magazines account for 19% (1997: 7.4%), documentaries, reports and other reports take up 24.8% (6.1%) of the airtime. The policy share fell from 47% in 1997 to 28% in 2007. For the study data, a week in 1997 was compared with a week in 2007. In the years that followed, the station continuously expanded the share of news and business in the overall program, so that in January 2012 it reached a total of 49 percent.

Logos

The corner logo has been in shades of red since it started broadcasting. An exception to this is July 14, 2014 , when the logo was kept in the colors of the German flag , as recognition of the German national soccer team's 4th world championship title at the 2014 World Cup . From midnight, a third of the logo was black, red and yellow for 24 hours. On September 1, 2017, n-tv redesigned the brand identity and also published a new logo. The previous claim “ The news channel” has been replaced by the new “ We'll stay tuned” claim . For the first time, the dividing line between n and tv has been dispensed with in the logo. The news channel will continue to be communicated as n-tv.
