The programme
Reläxx was a leisure-time programme for kids and teenagers. Each episode lasted 20 minutes and had a different key subject. There was a wide range of topics. Beside background reports about e.g. the festival Berlinale, the programme also showed portraits of young actors and as well reportages on special sports. There were reports like “Fänn-Kursen” and “Äxxclusiv” and furthermore there were the two pretty unconventional actors Professor Dr. Marcowitsch and M.C. Matzke. Both characters made the programme more relaxed with the help of comedy.The trend-magazine was presented with a new design and in 16:9 widescreen format since its 500. episode in September 2007. As well as the title song, which was changed from “Frankie Goes To Hollywood” to Mika’s song “Relax, Take It Easy”. A Labrador-dog called “Mäxx” was as well a part of the programme since its relaunch. Since 2009 the programme was cancelled.
