Ohne Maulkorb

Ohne Maulkorb (without a muzzle) was an Austrian children's TV series produced by Österreichischer Rundfunk that aired from 9 April 1967 until 1987 on ORF 2. It was originally a studio talk show that subsequently included current reports of the political and cultural affairs and youth culture. In the 1980s it discussed the newly emerging DJ phenomenon in New York City.[1]

The broadcasts included topics such as squatters, anti-nuclear activism (construction of a nuclear reactor in Zwentendorf was prevented by a referendum) and politically provocative art.

Artist portraits included "20 Stunden mit Patti Smith" (20 hours with Patti Smith) about Patti Smith at the beginning of her career. The show provided detailed concert footage such as Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, or Frank Zappa in Vienna, Kraftwerk performing live in 1981, as well as the Kinks in the Viennese Sofiensäle in 1978, Bob Dylan's "Hard Rain" Concert (Fort Collins, Colorado, 1976).
