[edit] History
In the late 1990s, the ProSieben Media Group failed to take over German television news channel n-tv owned by competitor RTL Group and CNN. Instead, the media giant founded the N24 Gesellschaft für Nachrichten und Zeitgeschehen after taking over German newswire ddp. The channel was launched on January 24, 2000 at noon from studios near Munich. In collaboration with Bloomberg Television, N24 provided live coverage of financial markets around the world.
In July 2001, the channel launched broadcasts from its new Berlin-based headquarters. Just one year later, N24 revamped its schedule, introducing a lot of documentaries and shortening business coverage. The channel unveiled a new on-air design in 2004. This included a new logo and studio. In addition, the news broadcaster signed an agreement with CNBC Europe to receive regular updates from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in German language.[1] The reports feature CNBC’s proprietary graphics. In 2007, N24 strengthened its business coverage, introducing daily programmes such as Boerse am Mittag and Boerse am Abend. The channel plans to move its headquarters this year.[2]
[edit] Programming
N24 presents a variety of programming with more than seven hours of live programming per business day. CNBC correspondents Silvia Wadhwa, Patricia Szarvas, Roland Klaus, Michael Mross and Bruni Schubert report live from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the NYSE throughout the day.
