WDR Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln

WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk - German Radio & TV) is one of the broadcasting members of the ARD, the first public German broadcaster, which consists of ten members under state law and public control. All of them have the same mission, i.e., to serve the public as a whole with programmes providing information, education and entertainment. With seven “Third” (regional) programmes besides the “First” programme (nationwide), the ARD broadcasting corporations demonstrate their regional competence. The WDR is one of these providers specialized on regional information, entertainment programmes and music, cultural and science programmes, documentaries, feature films and series. Possible involvement in co-production depends on the story.
