»You are, this minute, witness to the launch of the first German private television broadcaster.« It was with these words that Jürgen Doetz launched the »Programmgesellschaft für Kabel- und Satellitenrundfunk« (PKS), from which Sat.1 emerged in 1985, in a cellar studio in Ludwigshafen on 1. January 1984. After stops in Mainz and Berlin, Germany’s first private TV broadcaster moved to Unterföhring, near Munich, in 2009. Private television station has, meanwhile, been broadcasting for 25 years and, in that time, it has thoroughly shaken up the German television market.
The young BR journalist Larissa Vassilian spent a whole night getting to grips with recording software and uploads after which the first episode of »Schlaflos in München« (SiM) was online. In 2005 she discovered, quite by chance,
podcasts for herself. Today, under the name of Annik Rubens, she is one of Germany’s most popular podcasters providing weekly stories, critics and anecdotes for her fans from her improvised studio in her clothes cupboard.

Bavaria as the setting for film-makers – this means »one stop shopping«! Films made here are made not only in the most varied and original settings but also in the virtual worlds of multi award winning post production companies as well as in numerous studios.
The Englischer Garten park in the heart of Munich is world famous. Covering an area of more than 4 square kilometres it is even larger than New York’s Central Park. Not so well known perhaps is that the Bavarian capital is also playing in the same league as New York City as a publishing centre. With an output of close to 15,000 new book titles each year, Munich ranks as the world’s No 2 book publishing city, surpassed only by New York. Yet Bavaria’s strength in media goes way beyond publishing. Printing machines and technology made by Würzburg-based König & Bauer, founded in 1817, are running at printers worldwide. From print to TV and radio broadcasting, television and film production to Internet, multimedia and innovative IT solutions: Bavaria is Germany’s top media and IT location and a hub of international standing. |
