Volksmusik TV

Volksmusik TV (branded on air and online as volksmusik.tv) is a German free-to-air television channel whose programming is built around Volksmusik, volkstümliche Musik and Schlager music. According to its German Wikipedia entry, the channel is freely receivable and its schedule consists predominantly of music from these genres, supplemented by a multi-hour block of teleshopping. The channel's website presents a programme grid that includes shows such as Musikantenstadl, Schlager Gold, Unvergessene Legenden, Das große Wunschkonzert and Legenden der Volksmusik. The Musikantenstadl strand is described on the channel's homepage as a legendary music show broadcast from 1981 to 2015, hosted until 2005 by Karl Moik and thereafter until 2015 by Andy Borg, and continuing as a New Year's Eve show. Distribution is primarily satellite: volksmusik.tv has been available on Astra 19.2° East on the frequency 11.244 GHz since 1 January 2025, after the previous frequency 12.692 (with the ORS pause) was switched off on 31 December 2024. In addition to Astra, the channel is carried in cable television networks and in IPTV networks via the aggregator Ocilion. The channel is aimed at audiences interested in traditional and popular German-language music, a niche that has historically been served by public and private broadcasters in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Beyond the basic facts of its programming and distribution, little verified corporate information — such as ownership, headquarters or founding date — is available in the supplied evidence, and the entry should be treated as a work in progress on those points.
