Tide (own spelling TIDE) is a non-profit citizen and training channel from Hamburg . This was set up in 2004 after the open channel was discontinued with the change in the state media law. The television and radio station is operated by Tide gGmbH as a subsidiary of the Hamburg Media School. The aim and mission of the station is to enable everyone in Hamburg to develop media competence, to enable them to develop editorial concepts for radio and television and to produce programs themselves. The participatory local broadcaster is paid for from a small part of the license fee. The supervisory authority is the Medienanstalt Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein .

TIDE is divided into the areas TIDE.tv (television), Tide.Radio and TIDE.akademie.

background

Both TIDE.tv and TIDE.radio | TIDE 96.0 are non-commercial local broadcasters . This results in a strict ban on advertising for the formats broadcast. Nevertheless, in some programs advertising can and will be broadcast in the form of sponsoring that is strictly controlled by the broadcaster (“This program is presented to you by ...”).

The sponsor of the non-profit TIDE GmbH is the Hamburg Media School , which is the sole shareholder. The Hamburg Media School therefore receives part of Hamburg's broadcasting fees for its activities in community radio and TV.

TIDE is located on the art and media campus at Finkenau in Hamburg-Barmbek and is part of the interdisciplinary exchange with the University of Applied Sciences (HAW), the University of Fine Arts and the mother of TIDE, the Hamburg Media School .

history

The station was created due to the political will of the CDU and FDP after the open channel was shut down in 2003. The Hamburg Senate opened the open channel in 1988 and opened it on June 30, due to a change in the State Media Act of July 2, 2003 by the Hamburg Senate 2003 had to stop and was dissolved. The opposition SPD spoke of a "state sanction against a public broadcasting service" and also criticized the fact that both Tide and, in part, its sponsor, the Hamburg Media School, are financed from broadcasting fees.

After a few weeks without using the 96.0 frequency, a test operation started with a loop of citizens' broadcasts, which had to be individually accepted by the editor-in-chief Carsten Meincke, who was responsible at the time. This broadcasting loop was designed with broadcasts from the former Open Channel, as the broadcasters agreed to do so:

  • Urbanissimo (Andre Itjes) - music
  • Hitradio RCS (Christoph Rothe) - entertainment
  • Pink Channel (Pink Channel e.V.) - magazine for homosexuals
  • Radio Triangula (Petra Sorge) - intercultural magazine
  • Crazy Station (Jerome Begro) - entertainment
  • Dance Alarm (Daniel Siemers) - DJ mixes

Since at that time there was no line leading to the transmitter and only a rudimentary studio without a computer and without sound insulation, the program was partly produced externally, burned to an MP3 CD and transferred directly to a player in the Heinrich Hertz Tower. This CD ran for a week as a loop "in a circle" and was then replaced with an updated version.

Regular operations started on April 1, 2004 and the name Tide 96.0 , which had been kept secret until then , became official.

In contrast to open channels, Tide (and not the broadcasters) is legally solely responsible for the broadcast program and is therefore in principle also able to determine the broadcast content.

On September 1, 2007, Werner Eggert succeeded Carsten Meincke as head of the citizens and training channel (in the function of 1st managing director and editor-in-chief). Eggert was a journalist with an international background in the areas of print, radio, TV and new media. During his time as Tide managing director, he himself did not publish any broadcasts or publications (editorials, editorial print / broadcast reports, book titles, essays, etc. ...). Eggert worked as a media consultant and trainer at home and abroad and from 2003 was project manager at InWEnt's International Institute for Journalism (International Training and Development GmbH). During his time as Tide managing director, Eggert was also a board member of the Federal Association of Citizens and Education Media (bvbam), which he co-founded on November 2, 2007, and chairman of the Mediennetz Hamburg e. V.

From January to April 2011 the position of managing director / editor-in-chief was vacant. It was temporarily / provisionally by the former merchant. Managing director Lars Krösche (HMS - Hamburg Media School) taken over. The vacant position was filled by a selection committee from May 2011 by Claudia Willke. Claudia Willke has many years of documentary film experience for public service programs as well as early points of contact with public participation in visual media. After a successor to Claudia Willke was planned in the middle of the year and could not be implemented as planned due to health reasons of the originally planned successor, Alexander Drechsel has held the position of managing director and editor-in-chief of TIDE since December 1, 2019.

A radio manager (TIDE.radio) and a television manager (TIDE.tv) report to him. The position of radio manager has been occupied by Peter Gehlsdorf since Tide was founded. Gehlsdorf is co-founder (and 1st chairman) of Pink Channel Hamburg (radio for gays and lesbians). Gehlsdorf has also been Chairman of the Tide Works Council since October 2010. Kolja Hook, who previously managed post-production, has been in charge of Tide TV since 2009. The TV studio reports to Alexander Augustin, the technical director of Tide 96.0 and Tide TV.

On April 27, 2009, Tide celebrated its fifth anniversary and at the same time officially moved into a new studio building. The production facility is shared by Tide 96.0, Tide TV and the facilities also located at Finkenau (Hamburg Media School (HMS), Miami Ad School, Faculty of Design, Media, Information from the University of Applied Sciences, University of Fine Arts and Multimediakontor Hamburg) utilized.

reception

Tide.radio

Tide.radio (until 2017: Tide 96.0) has been broadcasting almost 24 hours on weekdays in Hamburg since August 2007 on VHF 96.0 MHz (terrestrial) and VHF 95.45 MHz (analog cable) and digital cable (DVB-C) and thus achieves around 2.4 million listeners. The Hamburg local radio takes over the frequency on Sundays from 6 a.m. to midnight and Tuesdays from 0 a.m. to 6 a.m.

In the course of 2018, the transmission power of the terrestrial frequency 96.0 MHz will be reduced so that it is likely that only the city of Hamburg can be served. The background to this is the change in the antenna operator and the associated change to an antenna with radiation properties that are less favorable for tide.

To compensate for the loss of range and as a future-proofing measure, broadcasting on the digital radio "DAB +" began on January 1, 2018 . Since then, when the station name is mentioned, the program has dispensed with the frequency “96.0” and only mentions “TIDE.radio” (pronounced: Tide Radio). DAB + broadcasts take place around the clock, i.e. H. the frequency takeover by the Hamburg local radio does not take place here.

Since August 1, 2007, TIDE.radio has also been available as Internet radio in the technical formats AAC, Ogg Vorbis and MP3. Programs are also broadcast on the Internet stream during the non-broadcast times; at this time there are repetitions from the previous week.

Tide TV

TIDE.tv is television for hands-on and do-it-yourself viewing. It is possible to produce your own program at TIDE, or to submit formats that have already been produced to TIDE and broadcast them. The prerequisite is that this program has no commercial background, i.e. is free of advertising, does not violate applicable laws, journalistically complies with the German press code and meets the minimum requirements for craftsmanship and dramaturgical qualities required by TIDE.

Tide TV can be received in the Hamburg cable network of Wilhelm.tel and WillyTel analog on channel 34 and in digital cable (DVB-C) around the clock. In the network of Vodafone Kabel Deutschland , Tide TV can be received analogue on channel place 21. There the broadcaster shares the channel with the offerings of BBC World and Voyages Television. Tide TV broadcasts Sunday through Thursday from 12 noon to midnight, Friday and Saturday from 12 noon to 2 a.m.

Since June 2010 u. Tide TV documents GEMA-free broadcast formats / documentaries on two YouTube channels. The official Tide YouTube channel has existed since October 2010.

Training Redaction.tv

In the TV training editorial team, interns, volunteers, federal volunteers (BFDler) and trainee media designers for image / sound learn how to do TV by themselves and in everyday editorial work as a team. They realize the 30-minute television magazine "Hamburg Always Different!", Which is broadcast every three weeks on TIDE TV. From research to shooting, editing and sound, the trainees produce independently broadcastable magazine articles under the guidance of an experienced editor.
