history

The broadcast goes back to Anno - film reports on news from yesterday and tomorrow . This format was first broadcast on German television on October 25, 1960 , at the time produced jointly by Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) and Südwestfunk (SWF). Since August 5, 1962, this broadcast was called Report . BR and SWF have been producing completely separate editions of the show since 1966. The edition of the BR is called Report Munich , that of the SWF was called Report Baden-Baden until 1998 . In the course of the merger of the SWF with Süddeutscher Rundfunk (SDR) to form Südwestrundfunk (SWR) in 1998, the editorial team moved to Mainz, since then the program has been called Report Mainz .

From 1972 to 1992 Franz Alt was head of the show. The then CDU member Alt positioned himself since 1983, e.g. B. in issues of retrofitting or nuclear energy , increasingly against the CDU-led governments in the federal and state levels. Since the CDU also ruled in the SWF contracting states at that time, there were numerous attempts by the Broadcasting Council to sell old people. The then acting director of the SWF, the former CDU member of the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament, Willibald Hilf , only decided to take this step at the turn of the year 1991/92, after numerous attempts had previously been made to politically neutralize Alt within the report moderation.

On April 25, 2006, the show celebrated its 40th birthday. On May 15, 2006, SWR broadcast an anniversary program with guest presenter Harald Schmidt .

  6. Jürgen Lessat: Bad gusts from the southwest. "Report Mainz" wants to show the truth behind it and name those responsible. This is the claim of the magazine that Südwestrundfunk (SWR) likes to adorn itself with. What the broadcaster has achieved with its "battle for wind turbines" tends to increase the public broadcasters' credibility problem. www.kontextwochenzeitung.de, August 10, 2016, accessed on August 14, 2016 .
