| SWR = Südwestrundfunk It's a historical name. 1998 the both regional organisations Süddeutschen Rundfunks (SDR) and Südwestfunk (SWF) have made a fusion. The SDR has started 1924 as a radio. The national TV of Germany after the 2nd world war has started 1952. It was a cooperation of the regional organisations. And so it is until today. The regional organisations make the production and give them to the ARD (Das Erste) for the national emission. Since 1969 the regional organisations make an other regional emission as the so called "Dritte Programme" (3rd progams). But You can see them also in other regions (per cable or satelitte). "Third" because an second public TV (without radio) exists as "Zweites Programm" (ZDF - Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen - Second German TV). National production and national emission in Mainz, starting 1961. The actual names of the older regional organisations are reminiscent of their starts as radio: Radio Bremen Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln (WDR) Südwestrundfunk (SWR) Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR) Hessischer Rundfunk (HR) Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) Saarländischer Rundfunk (SR) An example: http://www.radiobremen.de has tabs for "Radio" and "Fernsehen". You look TV from "Radio Bremen". Technical You can say that "Rundfunk" is radio and TV, becauce both transmit radiowaves (in the first years without cable, satellites and internet). If it is only a radio broadcaster, it is called radio. An example: Radion Bamberg (a commercial city radio). If it is only a TV broadcaster, it is called Fernsehen or TV. An example: TV Oberfranken, a commercial TV for the region Oberfranken. Some of the many local radios use the name "Antenne", p.e. http://www.antenneniederrhein.de/ or "Welle", p.e. http://www.welleniederrhein.de/ But this is also a question of marketing. |
