Here's a brand-new compilation of all the Lokalzeit editions:
International News Presentation: Past and Present
For anyone interested in capturing news services: The hyperlocal news service from Germany's WDR will be fully HD next week on Astra 19.2 transponder 21.
All 11 editions of Lokalzeit will for the first time be available in full HD (the WDR HD stream currently switches to SD when the regional news starts, except in Cologne).
For readers in the UK, imagine if the BBC replaced regional news with bulletins based on each local radio area. For example in the West Midlands, imagine if Birmingham, Coventry & Warwickshire, Hereford & Worcester, Shropshire, Stoke and Wolverhampton all had their own local programme - that's how the WDR regional structure is for the state of North Rhine Westphalia (Nordrhein-Westfalen).

I suppose some of our members are younger than this thread. How's that for a scary thought?

Aww, you're making me blush!
International News Presentation: Past and Present
While I still have the chance, can I thank WW Update for starting this Topic/Thread 14 years ago... I've possibly wasted months of my life watching TV bulletins from the past because of this Topic and many that I might never have found doing my own searches. One of the best bits of TVForum IMHO.

Right. And the fact that Africa doesn't get the coverage it deserves on regular CNNI newscasts is another problem for a network that once considered itself truly global in scope.
