Aktuelle Kamera - Programme's Fate After Reunification

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:

    Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the “Secret Annexe.” The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.
    Anne Frank (1929–1945)

    It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
