This is the sign off on the 2nd to last day of Deutscher Fernsehfunk. This is quite surreal to me to watch, knowing that this was the last ever Sendeschluss with their next day of programming.
Also in the 80s, we have had nice films and the latest music videos on DDR-TV. DDR-2 has had a special show called "Elf 99" in the late 80s, which cared for latest pop music and international chartbreakers of that time, like AHA, Michael Jackson, Richard Marx and more... As I remember, also West Germany's and US-charts were concidered.

It wasn't a merger. The DFF was folded, and before their final dissolution, some transmitter stations were already taken over by ARD. In place of the DFF, two new regional public stations were created that are members of the ARD: The first is the ORB (Ostdeutscher Rundfunk Brandenburg) for Brandenburg state and since merged with the SFB (Sender Freies Berlin) from Berlin to form the RBB (Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg). The second is the MDR (Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk) which serves the free state of Sachsen, the free state of Thüringen, and Sachsen-Anhalt state. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state did not get a new public station of its own, they instead were integrated into, and are still part of, the NDR (Norddeutscher Rundfunk).
@@bundesautobahn7 Excellent, thank you for the clarification. I laboured under the assumption that the DFF merged with ARD and that caused the split into MDR etc. It is fascinating, I must admit, what happens to TV when two or more countries join or separate. Again, thank you!
Senyor Capità Collons depends on the affiliate you are referring to, this one (DFF1) shut the day after this recording to become Das erste. Whereas their second one (DFF2) shut its doors a year or so later.
Apparently this rendition of Deutschlandlied aired on this channel for the last time, on this day. However, that rendition was later reused by ARD for their closedown sequence, until 1995.
That would prove unsuccessful in many terms, this was the standard at the time, plus video upscaling/remastering was rarely heard of at the time. Plus I’m sure due to the obscurity of this network, this might be all we have of a former time. But it’s better than nothing.
@@smophie6260 bullshit. the standard quality for the time was 576i, while this video is 144p. The text is barely readable. Look at other videos here on UA-cam from that time, they don't need to be digitally enhanced to look good, this video was just digitally downscaled. So yeah, if someone still has the original tapes and would digitize them correctly, this could look a lot better.
Notice from 3:23 to 3:29 that the word „Sendeteam” can just be barely seen when that word would have be previously „Sendekollektiv” just a few short months earlier.

Germany had been reunified for about 2 1/2 months at this point (and as someone pointed out above, this was DFF's penultimate day, it merged with ARD the next night)
Richard J. M since the reunification of Germany the station "Fernsehen der DDR ('GDR TV') was renamed "Deutscher Fernsehfunk (DFF) (= 'German Television Broadcasting') and broadcasted the national anthem EVERY day before closedown, so did the other major stations ARD (= 'Associated Public Broadcasting Stations') and ZDF (= 'German Television Second') - but in my eyes the DFF version was the best version of our national anthem ever broadcasted regularly by a German TV station.
DFF would be existed until the following year that DFF1 became Das Erste, while DFF2 replaced by MDR Fernsehen for Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, Fernsehen Brandenburg for Brandenburg and the expansion of N3 for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and former East Berlin at the start of 1992. However, N3 in the whole Berlin (including the already existed coverage in former West Berlin) didn't last long that Berlin 1 later established that year.

This was the same anthem Germany had before half of it belonged to the USSR. And either way, Germany was reunified 2 months before this recording.
