JRF

JRF is a general television station in Yopodia that started operations on November 1, 2001.

As TV3 (2001-2008)
On November 1, 2001, JRF (then TV3) went into operation for the first time and replaced the two channels Distiel Plus and Galaxy. Galaxy continued to operate in Ludussia until December 1, 2003.

The first program aired was Family Guy. At that time, according to the former GLU-law (German Ludussia-law), it only broadcast on working days from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm. There was also a testing card.

On January 1, 2002, the start of broadcasting was postponed from 10:00 to 6:00. The reason for this was that the children's block TV3 Kids (now MINI JRF) started on the same day from 06:00 am to 12:00 am.

On September 11, 2002, the testing card was replaced by teleshopping.

On December 9, 2002, TV3 got its own group and came out of its independence. The group was known as TV3 Fernsehgruppe.

On December 12, 2002 at 8:15 pm, the very first in-house production by TV3 was broadcast. The in-house production was a series under the name Wer will raus aus Ludussland? known and came from TV3 Originale (now JRF Originals).

On January 1, 2003, the TV3's own group was discontinued. The reason for this was that from now on TV3 will continue to be operated by ProSiebenSat.1 Media. Since the television broadcaster's own group, Toti, also ceased operations that day, and Toti also now belonged to ProSiebenSat.1 Media, TV3 got a sister station for the first time.

On April 14, 2003, TV3 broadcast the first reports with TV3 Aktuell (now JRF Nachrichten).

On October 14, 2004, TV3 started the first test broadcasts in high definition format together with the German television station ProSieben.

In 2007, unknown time, TV3 first released a brand new logo. As a result, TV3 broadcast for the first time with new idents.

As JRF (2008-present)
On March 1, 2008, TV3 was renamed as JRF. Two international TV channels, JRF International and Toti International, also started for the first time.

On December 1, 2008, the first pay-TV channel JRF 2 (later JRF Wissen) started.

On January 1, 2009, the broadcast deadline for JRF was moved from 10:00 pm to 2:00 am.

On February 1, 2009, JRF started in 16:9 format for the first time. News and reports are no longer broadcast in 4:3 since then.

On October 3, 2009, Sender 7 also came out of independence with the takeover of ProSiebenSat.1 Media. This gave JRF another sister station.

On January 1, 2010, the first offshoot, JRF DMAX (now JRF Xtra) started. This was the first time that JRF had a cooperation with the US company Discovery.

On November 1, 2010, the second pay-TV channel JRF Kids started.

On November 8, 2010, the third pay-TV broadcaster JRF Sport (later JRF Sport 1) started, replacing the Yopod version of the Brazilian television broadcaster SporTV.

On May 4, 2012, JRF started regularly in HD for the first time.

On December 1, 2012, JRF Sport was renamed JRF Sport 1. The reason was that JRF Sport 2 started on the same day.

In mid-August 2013, the broadcast times were moved from 06:00 am to 02:00 am to 05:00 am to 03:00 am. Thus, less teleshopping was broadcast and the children's block JRF Kids could start earlier.

On October 1, 2014, JRF got a brand new identity and the logo was brand new. JRF has also completely stopped the 4:3 transmission.

On January 1, 2015, the JRF logo was lightly processed. The broadcasters JRF International and Toti International also ceased operations in favor of 2 new international broadcasters.

On February 2, 2015, 2 new international channels, JRF Yopodia and JRFyou, started replacing the channels JRF International and Toti International.

On May 11, 2015, the rights of the stations were moved from ProSiebenSat.1 Media to Photograph TV Yopodia.

On November 30, 2015, Photograph TV Digital started and replaced the pay-TV channels JRF Wissen, JRF Kids, JRF Sport 1 and JRF Sport 2.

On February 20, 2016, the shows JRF Nachrichten and JRF News got a new studio in Atiferien and a brand new design.

On January 22, 2018, two more international channels, JRF Asien and JRF Amerika, started.

On January 1, 2019, the news channel JRF 24 (now JRF Info) and the international version of JRF 24 started.

On January 1, 2020, the next offshoot of JRF, JRF 2, started. Despite the name, the station cannot be compared with the former station, which is now called Photograph Horizon.

On January 10, 2020, JRF started operations in 4K UHD for the first time.

On March 18, 2020, JRF had to completely cease operation of MINI JRF until May 2020 due to increasing coronavirus numbers. The reason was that the person in charge of the children's block MINI JRF tested positive for the coronavirus.

On April 1, 2020, Sender 7 had to cease operations completely after more than 20 years due to the corona pandemic. As a result, the brand new channel TV7 started on April 10, 2020 in the former place of Sender 7.

On August 1, 2020, JRF broadcast 24 hours without teleshopping for the first time. However, the children's block MINI JRF is still included and broadcasts daily from 05:30 am to 12:30 am.

On March 1st, 2021, JRF got a new logo and brand new idents. Also new is that on the same day MINI JRF was renamed JRF Kids and started as its own TV station for the first time.

On November 1, 2021, JRF celebrated its 20th birthday with specials and special programs. For the first time, US programs (with the exception of children's programs) were also dispensed with.
