The Sportschau is a regular sports program on ARD , produced by WDR in Cologne and broadcast on the TV station Das Erste since June 4, 1961. In addition to the Saturday edition, which shows summaries of the Bundesliga games , there is also a Sunday edition that reports on current sporting events from various types of sport.
history
The first broadcast of the sports show took place on June 4, 1961 on ARD 2 . About football weeks was not reported in the first eight, and only with the start of the Bundesliga in 1963 , the show was postponed to Saturday. On Sunday there was a two-part sports show in which sports such as horse racing , horse riding , handball , volleyball and table tennis were the focus. For a long time, objectivity was the top priority, which has been loosened up a bit by the election of goal of the month since 1971. The first winner was Gerhard “Gerd” Faltermeier , whose goal on March 28, 1971 was selected as the best.
The main content of the sports show, which was initially broadcast on Saturday at 5:45 p.m., was the 1st Bundesliga. The film material was initially transported on motorbikes to Cologne or a nearby television studio for processing. Due to the lack of time between the end of the game at 5:20 p.m. and the start of broadcasting, this was moved to 6:00 p.m. in order to increase the processing time for the broadcast material. All too often, the home games of 1. FC Köln , which played only a few kilometers away, were reported, where there was no such short lead time. Since 1984, the pressure of competition from the private broadcasters that have just started has grown stronger. In 1988 the Sportschau lost the broadcasting rights it had previously acquired for 18 million DM to the Cologne-based private broadcaster RTL , which paid the DFB 135 million DM per season for this. Over the next few years, RTL acquired the broadcasting rights for the program Anpfiff , which featured entertainment elements , until the television station Sat.1 received the first exploitation rights to the Bundesliga at the beginning of the 1992/93 season . Since the 2003/04 season, the Sportschau has been the first free TV channel to broadcast images from the current matchday on Saturday. In the period between 1992 and 2003 there was only one half-hour broadcast on Saturdays at 5.30 p.m., which highlighted the news from the Bundesliga from the previous week.
The theme tune of the sports show is Topsy , penned by Werner Müller and was originally published as the B-side of the single Schaufenster Deutschland . In the 1980s the song "Tour de France" was used by the band Kraftwerk for the " Tour de France " section .
A sports show app for iPod touch and iPhone and also for Android systems , Windows Phone and Windows 8 has been available since January 4, 2011 , with the help of which, among other things, sports news, live ticker and similar information can be accessed. After the Tagesschau app, this is the second ARD app.
On May 31, 2016, the program received a redesign by BDA Creative with a new on-air design, a new corporate design and a new homepage on the occasion of the 2016 European Football Championship .

Special programs
The ARD broadcasts games of the German national soccer team , as well as soccer world championships and soccer European championships in a sports show (always alternating with ZDF ). The UEFA Cup games of the German teams were also broadcast live. Until the 2008/09 season, however, the Sportschau only broadcast games from German teams in the competition up to the round of 16. In addition, one game per game day in the DFB-Pokal is shown exclusively live on free TV. Up until the 2011/12 season , ARD had alternated between broadcasting the matches with ZDF, which for the 2015/16 rights period was no longer bidding due to the broadcast of the UEFA Champions League and left the broadcasting rights entirely to ARD. In addition, the final of the women's DFB Cup will be broadcast in the first.
Live broadcasts of events in other sports, such as the Olympic Games , are also broadcast as part of a sports show .
Das Erste was also active in motorsport . From 2005 to 2017, ARD was the exclusive TV partner of the DTM and thus broadcast all qualifying sessions and races of the respective season as part of the sports show . Previously (2000-2004) she had broadcast the DTM races in alternation with ZDF, which had dropped out after the 2004 season and had completely left the broadcasting rights to ARD. In 2018, after 18 years, ARD lost all DTM live rights to the private broadcaster Sat.1 , which from now on broadcasts exclusively.
