ZDFinfo

ZDFinfo is a German television channel operated by Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF). It specializes in information and documentary programming, including news reports, investigative journalism, historical and scientific documentaries, and coverage of international affairs. The channel targets viewers seeking in-depth analysis and factual reporting rather than entertainment and broad-appeal series.

Programming consists of long-form and short-form documentaries, current affairs programs, and re-broadcasts of select ZDF reports. Content is produced by ZDF’s in-house teams and external production partners, with a focus on documentary storytelling and journalistic rigor. The channel also airs specials and themed series on topics such as politics, society, science, and history.

ZDFinfo is distributed across Germany on multiple platforms, including satellite, cable, and digital terrestrial networks where available, and it is also accessible via ZDF’s online platforms such as ZDFmediathek, which offers live streams and on-demand access to ZDFinfo programming. It operates as part of ZDF’s family of channels and complements the main ZDF channel by providing dedicated informational programming as part of Germany’s public-service broadcasting system.
