German Public TV and a trailer

Once upon a time, before Private TV started, there were just two TV stations in Germany. Nowadays, they still exist alongside Private TV.

The two public TV stations are called:
ARD (First German public TV station) and its affiliated radio stations.
ZDF (Second German public TV station)

The ARD actually consists of statewide residing TV stations (often referred to as 'third channels') which are affiliated by a kind of holding structure. Each statewide transmitting station also contributes to the Federal wide transmitting ARD channel.
- NDR (North German TV and radio station)
- RB (Bremen German TV and radio station)
- HR (Hesse German TV and radio station)
- SR (Saarland German TV and radio station)
- MDR (Middle German TV and radio station)
- WDR (West German TV and radio station)
- RBB (Berlin and Brandenburg TV and radio station)
- SWR (South Western TV and radio station)
- BR (Bavarian TV and radio station)

This evening I watched a nice trailer on WDR.

It showed selected sights of North Rhine-Westfalia at night. Some highways got lightened by the front lights of the approaching cars, Dortmund soccer stadium came into view and Centro Oberhausen Shopping Mall with its center glass hall.

You could see the people in the glass hall of Centro Oberhausen from above. I assume that the camera was located below one of those Blimps (little airships).

It was a very thoughtful, silent and touching scenery.

Accompanied by the moving pictures there was a relaxing music, just consisting in soothing chord music and very few notes. It seemed to me that the author of the little intermezzo movie intended to show his feelings and solidarity to his State.
