RBB

RBB is a regional public broadcaster serving the German states of Berlin and Brandenburg. Its television output focuses on local news, current affairs, and cultural reporting from the capital region, alongside documentaries covering history, nature, and social issues specific to the area. The channel also airs talk shows, magazine-format programs on lifestyle and consumer topics, and selected entertainment series produced within the ARD network. Music programming includes classical concerts and recordings from regional orchestras, while sports coverage centers on events like the Berlin Marathon and local football matches. Children’s content appears in dedicated slots, often drawn from ARD’s joint programming pool.

Viewers can watch RBB live via cable, satellite, and digital terrestrial television within the coverage area. The channel’s content is also accessible through the ARD Mediathek, where many shows are available on demand for a limited time after broadcast. A weekly TV guide is published in local newspapers and on the broadcaster’s website, listing scheduled programs for the coming days. Some documentaries and magazine features are later released as podcasts or video-on-demand files through the same online platform.
