Tagesschau24 ([ˈtaːɡəs.ʃaʊ̯ fiːɐ̯ ʊn ˈt͡sʋansɪç] stylized as tagesschau24) is a German free-to-air television channel owned by ARD and managed by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). Launched on 30 August 1997 as "EinsExtra", the channel was renamed Tagesschau 24 on 1 May 2012, becoming a brand extension of ARD's evening newscast.

It is ARD's news channel and competes with Welt and n-tv. Besides news, Tagesschau24 also broadcasts culture, sports and science shows. A HD simulcast of the channel was launched on 5 December 2013.[1]

History

The ARD digital broadcaster started on 30 August 1997 as EinsExtra. It was positioned as information channel. Until 2006, the network's programming consisted largely of re-airings of morning shows, talk shows and documentaries from Das Erste and the regional public broadcasters. From 2006 to 2009, the channel was an all news network, with the launch of a news-centred show, EinsExtra Aktuell. On 1 May 2012, EinsExtra Aktuell was renamed tagesschau24, taking its name from Das Erste's flagship evening newscast.[2]

In February 2022, it was announced that ARD would convert tagesschau24 into a 24/7 news channel by 2023.

On November 15, 2022, tagesschau24 closed its SDTV cable and satellite feeds, which means it is now only available in HD.[3]

In March 2026, it was announced that ARD and ZDF would consolidate their respective digital networks into a joint portfolio; as part of this move, tagesschau24 is expected to close in 2027, with Phoenix becoming the main news and information channel of the partnership.[4][5]
