Brandenburg aktuell
rbb24 Brandenburg aktuell is the television magazine of Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg for the state of Brandenburg. The programme is broadcast daily on rbb Fernsehen at 7:30 p.m., while the viewers in Berlin receive the Abendschau. The magazine informs about political and cultural life in Brandenburg and provides background information on special events. Also the sport in Brandenburg as well as homeland stories from Brandenburg are topics of the show. In the early years, national and international reports were shown in Brandenburg aktuell, but these were abolished in 2000 when ORB Fernsehen began simulcasting the main 8:00pm edition of Tagesschau from Das Erste.
The first programme was broadcast on 2 May 1992, at that time still from the barrack 38 of the film area in Babelsberg. In 1996, ORB erected new buildings for television and radio operations there. Since the merger of ORB and SFB to the rbb, a joint television programme has been produced for the states of Berlin and Brandenburg; both federal states only receive their own regional news between 7.30 pm and 8 pm.
