Black radio
Schwarzfunk is a catchphrase used in political disputes for state broadcasters under public law , if they are run by the majority in Germany and for a longer period of time on the right by the SPD and the Greens . With this designation, they are therefore assumed to be partisan and one-sided reporting. Historically, the name came about as an answer to " red radio ".

In some of these channels, the CSU or CDU, with their government majority , decided on the artistic director for decades . The BR repeatedly boycotted the broadcasting of politically unpopular programs on ARD. B. 1962 the Lysistrata adaptation “ Die Sendung der Lysistrata ”, 1971 the SWR youth magazine “Zoom”, 1972 Sesame Street and It is not the homosexual who is perverse, but the situation in which he lives and in 1973 the cabaret program “Der Abfall Bayerns ”of the Munich laughing and shooting society . In 1986 the Chernobyl episode of Dieter Hildebrandt's windshield wipers followed , after which they were mostly content with pushing unpopular productions such as Imzeichen des Kreuzes into the third program.
In Austria , the term is used analogously for broadcasters who are accused of one-sided reporting in favor of the ÖVP .
