I would like to know if ARTE in France and Germany has the exact programming schedule, or it slightly differs in the 2 countries


It's slightly different. For example in Germany evening prime time starts at the traditional 8:15pm, while France starts at 8:50pm.

Oh and Arte France broadcast in 1080i, while Arte Germany uses 720p on Satellite/Cable and 1080p on terrestrial, just like ARD/ZDF.


Separate schedules now, the German channel (Astra) has its news at 19:20 and the French channel's (Hotbird) is at 19:45.
Often the programme on the German channel at 20:15 is the same programme on the French channel at 20:50 and so on, but there are some differences.
The French language track is available on the German channel and vice versa.


An example of the difference in programmation between the French and German versions of ARTE is the news/talk magazine 28 Minutes . In France, it is broadcast between the evening edition of Arte Journal and the prime time programme. But, because it is mostly focused on what makes the headlines in France, it is broadcast at around 02:40 AM on the German version.

In Germany, the weekday reportage magazine Arte Re: is broadcast between the evening edition of Arte Journal and the prime time programme. In France, the same magazine, which is named Arte Regards , is broadcast after the mid-day edition of Arte Journal .

Similar differences occur during the weekend.

On December 14, long-time news anchor Jan Hofer will retire from ARD's Tagesschau after more than 35 years. Earlier today, he made his final appearance on ARD's MoMa, whose team reminisced about his first MoMA news update in 1992:

Staying in Germany, NDR's local opt-out for Hamburg has had a refresh -- but its distinct classical news theme remains unchanged:

Never knew Jan Hofer is retiring....I think he will be missed but I hope he enjoys his retirement!

There was a solar eclipse in South America today and Argentine news channel TN's TN de 10 a 14 's coverage led to it being the most watched programme in Argentina at that time, quite a feat in a country with six news channels and hundreds of cable channels. Over 50,000 people tuned into their live YouTube stream too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHn1_QVoXGM - to watch it, go back to 13:08 Argentina time (the programme is 10:00-14:00 as the name suggests)

Very nice, I have never seen something from Finland before...but isn't MTV an American music channel? I didn't know that MTV existed in Finland that early
