History

The ARD digital broadcaster started on 30 August 1997 under the name EinsExtra. EinsExtra was positioned as information programme. Until 2006, the network's programming consisted largely of re-airings of morning shows, talk shows and documentaries from Das Erste and the regional Drittes Fernsehprogramm. From 2006 to 2009, the channel turned itself into an all news network, with the launch of a new-centred show, EinsExtra Aktuell . In 1 May 2012, EinsExtra Aktuell was rebranded as tagesschau24.

Broadcasting

SD broadcasting via satellite (Astra 19.2) will cease on 12 January 2021.[3]
