history
A previous station was founded in 1993 under the name IA Berlin . In 1996 it was renamed Puls TV as part of a program reform . In 1997 he went bankrupt again. After a transition phase lasting several months, during which the previous operators (including Time Warner and George Soros ) were unable to agree on a common concept, the Berlin-Brandenburg State Media Authority finally awarded the license to Thomas Kirch , a son of media entrepreneur Leo Kirch . He founded TV Berlin . From 1999 to 2002, the station was under the direction of Georg Gafron , who was also editor-in-chief of the tabloid BZ and managing director of the Hundert, 6 radio station and caused a sensation with media campaigns on Berlin state politics.
From April 2001 to July 2002 the then quite popular cover program of Sun-TV was broadcast on TV Berlin. When Sun TV there was a television channel of the Kirch group who spread his program exclusively through various metropolitan stations in Germany, making successful formats like Blondes Gift with Barbara Schöneberger and WIB-swing with Wigald Boning in Berlin were receivable. In the course of the insolvency of the Kirch Group, Sun-TV stopped its programs.
The operating company TV Berlin Neu Produktionsgesellschaft is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kanal 1 media company owned by Hanno Soravia , one of the most successful Austrian building contractors. He was also involved in the local channels TV Munich (discontinued) and U1 TV ( Zurich ).
On June 13, 2005, TV Berlin again filed for bankruptcy. This was triggered by the end of the sister broadcaster TV Munich, which was no longer able to meet demands from TV Berlin due to its own bankruptcy. TV Berlin has 54 employees and an annual turnover of around six million euros (as of August 2005).
On July 8, 2005, the Media Council ( MABB ) decided to sell Germany 1 Media AG (51%) together with Verlag Axel Springer AG (27.4%), TRIANGLE Medien Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG (14.6%) and Media Management AG (7%) to grant broadcasting permission to continue TV.Berlin as a local metropolitan area television. The new company takes over the insolvent broadcaster TV.Berlin and its subsidiary TV Rhein / Ruhr, which operates a local digital channel on Cologne's cable TV. Germany 1 Media AG and the publishing house Axel Springer AG are also involved in Hamburg 1 . Germany 1 Media AG's shareholders are Bernhard Bertram (45 percent), Ingo Borsum (25%), Michael Schmidt-gegen (20%) and Kim Schwaner (10%). In cooperation with Hamburg 1, TV Berlin is to be redeveloped, TV Rhein / Ruhr has been discontinued.
The station's management was shared by Mathias Adler (since July 2007) for technology and programming and Hans Kuchenreuther (since November 2007), who was responsible for sales and marketing.
Since then, TV Berlin's core program has consisted of a current hour with news, business, sport, culture and weather in prime time. In addition, the station makes a name for itself with talk formats and magazines. Every two weeks there are in each case before the home game Hertha BSC -Fanmagazin called move . The morning magazine Frühcafé has been available on weekdays from 5:30 to 8:30 a.m. since February 2008, but has since been discontinued.
Since May 18, 2009, the station has been based in the Axel-Springer-Passage . Due to the close proximity to the Axel Springer Verlag, the content-related collaboration with the publisher's products, such as B. the Berliner Morgenpost , be intensified. With the discontinuation of the regional program FAB on April 1, 2009, TV Berlin took over some programs, such as B. Ars Vivendi with moderator Manuel Werner .
On October 19, 2012, the broadcaster filed for bankruptcy for the third time. This step was justified with a lack of advertising income and the unrealized association of regional television stations, a project of the former RTL managing director Helmut Thoma with the title Volks TV .
Godd Media Broadcast GmbH has been operating TV Berlin since February 1, 2013; the company initially belonged to Seyhan Yigit and Medet Boztuk. Seyhan Yigit now holds 85 percent and Denis Pronin the remaining 15 percent of the shares in the station.
