The press club is an information program that is broadcast weekly on Sundays from 12:03 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. It is broadcast on TV on Erste and Phoenix as well as on the radio on WDR 5 .
history
The show was on 27 December 1987 in succession to the International Frühschoppen of Werner Höfer first broadcast. Four to five journalists discuss current topics in the program. Unlike the previous program, the press club is more closely related to Germany, and foreign journalists are very rarely invited. The audience then has 15 minutes to ask questions over the phone. This interactive part of the program, called the press club , is only broadcast on Phoenix and on the radio program WDR 5. The program is generally characterized by a calm, conversational atmosphere.
On November 12, 1989, the press club was broadcast live from East Berlin on the subject of the GDR - Land Between Awakening and Upheaval , making it the first West German television program from the GDR .
If the press club in the first z. B. is canceled due to a direct sport broadcast, since October 2002 a new edition of the international morning pint has been running every Sunday afternoon on Phoenix under the direction of various Phoenix moderators .
