The turntable was a combined advice and tabloid magazine of the ZDF , which ran from 1964 to 1982 in the evening program.

Emergence

The turntable was created when ZDF moved from Eschborn to Wiesbaden by combining the previous advisory programs. Rut Speer , the first editor and long-time presenter of the turntable , gave this program its name.

The first program was broadcast on April 1, 1964 in the evening-before-program.

The trademark was a rotating circular disk with the letter "d" - corresponding to the continuous lettering made of lower case letters that was common for ZDF then and now. This disc was located in the studio setting and was mounted on a vertical axis and driven by a V-belt. It was originally started by an employee in the background with a crank, later an electric motor was used. The opening and closing credits showed this disc in close-up, whereby its drive failed once. The accompanying signature melody, a swinging brass section of trumpets and trombones similar to the flourish for the Tagesschau, written by Klaus Doldinger , replaced the catchy, lively music with pizzicato elements that had been used up until then in the 1970s . Several plucked violins took over the melody part.

The last edition of the turntable was broadcast on March 31, 1982 after a total of 5146 episodes.

content

The program dealt with current issues from politics, economy and society, and there was the window for regional news from the countries . The advice section included, for example, an occasional car test, the presentation of the latest winter sports equipment in late autumn and regular appearances by TV chefs Ulrich Klever from 1967 to 1973, later Max Inzinger , who with the words "I've already prepared something" quickly prepared various Food demonstrated. In addition to reports on celebrities, there was also a part of the show , often with a vocal artist in the studio. The broadcast always took place in front of a small studio audience.

While the turntable was still presented by a presenter in the 1960s, from the 1970s onwards, two presenters always led the program.

Follow-up broadcast

On April 1, 1982 the tele-illustrated went on air. Like the turntable , the follow-up program was a magazine that wanted to inform and entertain viewers at the same time. Much has been taken from the turntable , so here too, current topics were brought to the fore even more; there was news from the federal states, many service topics and also a music section at the end of the program. The moderators Helge Philipp , Peter Nemec and Ulrich Craemer also moderated the tele-illustrated , while Walter Mischo switched to the new news program heute-aus den Länder as studio editor in 1983 .

Others

The presenter Alfred Biolek came to ZDF in 1963 and some time later switched from his work as a lawyer on the ZDF board of directors to the editorial department of the turntable , where a few years later he also became editor-in-chief as the successor to Karlheinz Rudolph . He was followed on April 1, 1968 by Oldwig Jancke , who remained in charge of the editorial team until the end of the turntable in 1982.

The ZDF show turntable , which has been running since 1998, was planned as a renaissance of the turntable show , but has a different concept.
