Why did Pro7 always start broadcasting at 3:50 p.m.? Was it too much work to just broadcast something recorded beforehand or something?

There transmission frequencies were superimposed and there was much less transmission time, since transmitters often shared a frequency and it was temporally staggered. There were many new stations in a short time at the time, so that it could not be achieved otherwise.

In the 90s, for example, it was also so that arte only sent from 7 p.m. and before that the children’s channel was broadcasting on the same channel. I remember that.

Thus, before the beginning of the 1990s, almost all channels had at that time something like a “send” when the program was out of operation at night and only in the morning (or even in the afternoon, such as PRO7 at the end of the 1980s or at the beginning of the 1990s) the transmitter was broadcast again.

Nowadays, almost no transmitter has something like a “send” but send almost uninterrupted, as people today have higher demands on nightly programs.

Resources, target group, technology or costs could have been reasons for the later transmission start

We used to have something different than hanging the whole day before the box…!
