History

For decades, the main edition of the Rundschau was broadcast at 6:45pm on BR Fernsehen; however, as part of a major programming overhaul, from 11 April 2016 it was extended from 15 to 30 minutes and moved to start at 6:30pm. As part of this revamp, Rundschau also received a new format, a new studio and a new on-air design. From 7 August 2017, BR put another new studio in operation, with a green screen and robotic cameras; the design of the Rundschau remained unchanged.[1]

Trivia
  • On 25 July 1988, ARD's top rating news program, Tagesschau, produced by Norddeutscher Rundfunk in Hamburg, was to be cancelled due to a warning strike organized by the broadcasting union RFFU. This would have been the first time in the history of the ARD that the Tagesschau was not broadcast. It helped out for Tagesschau as a substitute program and in this way was broadcast nationwide.[2]
