WDR Fernsehen online - Television live

WDR Fernsehen Live Stream

WDR Fernsehen is the regional television program of Westdeutscher Rundfunk for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia - the public broadcaster serving Germany's most populous state. Its live signal streams around the clock.

Since 1965, the Third Program

WDR Fernsehen first broadcast on 17 December 1965 as Westdeutsches Fernsehen (WDF) - the second regional public television program in the Federal Republic, after the NDR/RB/SFB third program launched earlier that January. Restructured in 1988, it stands today as one of the ARD network's strongest regional channels.

The State's Own Screen

The grid serves North Rhine-Westphalia end to end: the Aktuelle Stunde regional news from NRW's districts, regional magazines and service shows - from consumer help to local history - and the ARD network's shared programming. The Rhineland's carnival and Westphalia's traditions share the schedule with the Ruhr's industrial story.

Germany Most Populous State, One Channel

As the third program of one of Europe's biggest regional broadcasters, WDR Fernsehen keeps Germany's most populous state on air around the clock - the news, the service and the culture of North Rhine-Westphalia. For viewers from Cologne to Münster, the channel remains the state's television address.
