In contrast to other German news shows, "Der Tag" includes extended interviews with correspondents or experts and excerpts from press conferences and parliamentary debates.
Its reports are taken from news shows of ARD and ZDF, which you can recognize by the look of the lower thirds (see 1:52).
BTW, is it just me or does WDR's
Aktuelle Stunde
set (seen in the first WDR clip above) bear some resemblance to the BBC's regional sets from the early 2000s?

Here's the legendary news anchor Walter Cronkite guest-anchoring the national news on France's Antenne 2 network in 1981 (on location in Monte Carlo that evening):
St. Pierre and Miquelon are two tiny islands in the North Atlantic, just off the coast of Canada's Newfoundland. Legally, they are as much a part of France as, say, Grenoble or Lyon. In fact, the islands -- which have a strong Basque heritage -- are the sole remnants of New France, which once comprised much of North America.
Here is the news from their local France Télévisions station, 2014:
Interesting, and very French, that they use SECAM not NTSC (though it looks as if they are using SECAM K not L?) if they are still using analogue. (They use the Euro too!)
So you'd need a multi standard TV with a multi standard tuner to receive OTA from Canada - and those are actually quite rare. (Very few sets with both ATSC digital and SECAM analogue tuners I suspect...) Set top box for ATSC would be the solution.
They may not get great or any coverage from St Johns anyway - particularly as OTA is less dominant in Canada.
Yep - the CBC didn't go for 1:1 analogue->digital conversion, or even try and cover the same populations. Quite large areas that had decent analogue terrestrial coverage have poor, or no, digital coverage.
Could well be that St Johns, being quite a rural area, has OTA coverage as cable is less dominant?
