TV38 Live

TV38 is a live community TV channel from south-east Lower Saxony, Germany, made for the so-called Region 38, the area of cities such as Wolfsburg, Braunschweig and Wolfenbüttel. It is a Bürgersender, a citizens' broadcaster: run by the non-profit association TV38 e.V., which has turned 30, it helps local people produce their own films and bring the region's topics to the screen, with all its services free of charge. Its licence and main funding come from the Niedersächsische Landesmedienanstalt, with support from local sponsors, and like all 15 citizens' channels in Lower Saxony, TV38 is organised as an association, with a volunteer board and a professional team working side by side with volunteers from the central newsroom in Wolfsburg. Programming features reports on science, volunteering, business and local life, in series such as Wissenschaf(ƒ)tWissen, Wir leben Ehrenamt! and Standort.Zukunft, and airs on cable, online and on social media. A good pick for anyone who wants to follow life in Region 38.
