History
[
edit
]
The third "television programme" of
Hessischer Rundfunk
was founded on 5 October 1964 under the name
Hessisches Fernsehprogramm
. Its registered office is in
Frankfurt am Main
. In the last few decades, the name, logo and appearance of the program have changed several times. Between 1983 and 1997 the programme was called
Hessen Drei
and from 1997 to 2004
hessen fernsehen
. Since 3 October 2004 it has been called
hr-fernsehen
.
Hessen 3
was the only
third programme
to broadcast
television advertising
from January 1985 to December 1992. The proceeds were intended to finance hr's fourth radio station (
hr4
). Initial revenues of around DM 15 million a year were generated, most recently they amounted to around DM 12 million. In the 1987 Interstate Broadcasting Treaty
(Rundfunkstaatsvertrag)
, however, the states agreed that no more
advertising
should be broadcast in
Hessen 3
as soon as the funds required for
hr4
from broadcasting fees were available. In 1988 a passage was included in the HR-law, after which the hr was only allowed to broadcast advertising in
Hessen 3
until the end of 1992.
