Overview
Baden TV is a private regional television broadcaster in Germany, operated by Baden TV GmbH and headquartered in Karlsruhe. It broadcasts a full regional schedule for Karlsruhe, the district of Karlsruhe, Rastatt, Baden-Baden, Pforzheim and the Enzkreis. Its programming centres on the main evening news programme Baden TV Aktuell at 18:00, supplemented by various Baden TV magazines covering different topics. In November 2016 the broadcaster expanded its coverage area by founding Baden TV Süd, a second transmission region covering the city and districts of Freiburg, Emmendingen, Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Ortenaukreis, Lörrach and Waldshut. Since then, alongside the editorial office at its Karlsruhe headquarters, Baden TV maintains a separate editorial office in Freiburg. The broadcast technology for both Baden TV and Baden TV Süd is located in Karlsruhe, where the two live news programmes, Baden TV Aktuell and Baden TV Süd aktuell, are produced Monday to Friday for their respective regions. Baden TV Süd thereby took over the area previously served by TV Südbaden, which ceased operations in January 2015 for financial reasons. Baden TV is available through several reception channels. Via cable it can be received on Vodafone's network in parts of Baden-Württemberg (channel S04). Europe-wide reception is provided via digital satellite (Astra 1H), alternating hourly with its sister channel Baden TV Süd. It is also available via MagentaTV, Amazon Fire TV Stick and Zattoo. The complete programme can be followed around the clock on the internet, with all videos available after broadcast as video-on-demand in the broadcaster's media library and the Baden TV app. The shareholders of Baden TV include Gottfried Greschner (chairman of the board of init), J. Esslinger GmbH & Co. KG (Pforzheimer Zeitung), b.i.g. gruppe-management GmbH, Hoepfner Bräu Friedrich Hoepfner Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG and Günter Pilarsky. As a regional broadcaster organised as a GmbH, it is a privately held company.
