program

An evening program from 5:50 p.m. to 6:28 p.m. was organized in the style of a news broadcastwas designed. Breakfast television from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., which was later also taken over by ARD and ZDF and thus broadcast throughout Germany, contained, in addition to the half-hourly news, current reports on politics, sport and culture. The youth program “High live” was broadcast on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Before that (1989) the culture magazine "trio" started with two editors under the direction of Axel Radler. Later there was the culture magazine “Pallas”, which was broadcast early on Sunday afternoon, and the cinema magazine “Oscar - Das Filmmagazin aus Berlin”, which presented the latest from the cinema industry once a month. In order to underline his connection to the film city of Berlin, "Oscar" was often broadcast from changing Berlin cinemas, which served as a backdrop for the presentations. "Oscar" has been broadcast for two and a half years since the start of RIAS-TV, and the last issue even made it onto the nationwide broadcasting network.

As a result of the reorganization of broadcasting policy in the course of German reunification , RIAS-TV stopped its own program in the spring of 1992 and has been producing German international television ( DW-TV ) for Deutsche Welle since April 1, 1992 . The organizational transfer of the RIAS-TV unit to DW took place on May 1, 1992.
