Rotavision Produktionsgesellschaft für Film- und Rundfunkprogramm mbH was a medium-sized company belonging to the Rhein-Zeitung- Verlag and is considered a pioneer for German private television in the 1980s.
history
The decisive factor was a loophole in the law that was discovered by press photographer Jürgen Engels from Koblenz and that made it possible to broadcast RTLplus programs on monitor walls in department stores . For this purpose, a regional program was produced in Koblenz , which was transported by courier to Luxembourg , in order to be broadcast later in the Saarbrücken and Rhineland-Palatinate area . After receiving a “real license” for RTL , Rotavision became the RPR1 in 1985 .
Many of the former employees now have management positions at RPR. Some also work for RTL, such as B. Bernhard Abt as a director on RTL Saturday night . The cameraman Andy Bierschenk began his career at Rotavision.
