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. The logo and on-air design was created by Julia David.[3]

As of January 1, 2027, ZDFneo is to be transformed into a channel jointly operated by ARD and ZDF under the name neo von ARD & ZDF. The channel will continue to target younger adults and will include the content of the ARD channel One, which is scheduled to be discontinued on December 31, 2026.

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).[4] 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
