Deutsche Welle TV in German?

Posted Tue, 03/22/2011 - 11:43 by admin

For the curious Deutsche Welle TV uses UTC or Coordinated Universal Time for their broadcasts. This combined with their schedule changes means we need to reprogram schedulers and switchers, which takes some time. It is not just a matter of resetting clocks :).

Whenever Daylight Savings Time changes so does Deutche Welle TV's schedule. This means that some of the programming is now in German. Tomorrow things will return to normal and the programming will be in English again. However, the changes mean that many programs will now air on a different schedule, not just be an hour earlier or later. Thanks for your patience and understanding in this matter.
