Programme's Fate After Reunification
Following Reunification, all editions of Aktuelle Kamera were rebranded according to the period of the day they aired. The 12:50pm newscast was from then known as AK am Mittag ("CC at Midday"), the main broadcast at 7:30pm became Aktuelle Kamera am Abend ("Current Camera Evening"), and the news on DDR2 was rebranded as AK-Zwo. News summaries received the generic name of AK-Nachrichten (simply "CC-News") or AK-Kurznachrichten.
The last newscast as Aktuelle Kamera was anchored by Petra Kusch-Lück on December 14, 1990 at 1am on DFF1 (the former DDR1). The following day, DFF's newscasts were re-titled Aktuell ("Current"). East German television was reduced to one channel, after DFF1 folded, its transmitters becoming part of the Das Erste network.
On January 1, 1992, the former DDR2 was regionalised and incorporated into the ARD as the regional channel ("Dritte Programme") for the "New Länder" under the names of Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk-Fernsehen (Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia), ORB-Fernsehen (Brandenburg, later merged with Sender Freies Berlin to form Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg) and N3 (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern).

Famous quotes containing the words programme and/or fate:
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“Ev’n thou who mourn’st the Daisy’s fate,
That fate is thine—no distant date;
Stern Ruin’s ploughshare drives , elate,
Full on thy bloom,
Till crush’d beneath the furrow’s weight,
Shall be thy doom.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
