Germany’s most popular channels, such as ARD (a consortium of regional public service broadcasters), ZDF (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen) and die Dritten Programme (third programmes), are governed by public law and publicly funded (öffentlich-rechtlich). Die Dritten Programme are small regional channels run by the regional broadcasters. There are also many private channels such as RTL, Sat1 and Pro7. Most channels offer news at 7 or 8 p.m. and a feature film or documentary might typically start at 8.15 p.m.
The extract in Figure 3 is from a TV guide and shows what is on TV across four German channels in the evening.
