ZDFneo is a German free-to-air television channel, programmed for an audience aged 25 to 49[1] to complement the primarily older-skewing main channels of public broadcasters ZDF and ARD. It replaced ZDF's documentary channel ZDFdokukanal on 1 November 2009.
History
On 1 October 2017, the channel was to receive a new on-air design and a new broadcasting logo;[2] this was brought forward to 26 September 2017.
Distribution
ZDFneo is broadcast (along with the rest of ZDFvision) via DVB-T digital terrestrial television, receivable in most areas of Germany. It is also transmitted in DVB-C through German cable networks, and in DVB-S from the Astra 1H satellite.
Since 30 April 2012, ZDFneo has been broadcast in HD (720p).[3] The channel was initially only scaled up by 576i, since ZDFneo had no HD-capable playout at this time. Since mid-May 2015, the channel is broadcast in native HD quality.
Programmes[4]
ZDFneo's broadcasts mostly consists of comedy and drama series produced in-house. Shows imported from America and the United Kingdom plus a few documentaries, music shows, and movies round out the schedule.
