ARD's 'Brisant' and MDR's 'Elefant, Tiger & Co.' Stream Live in Germany

The ARD news magazine "Brisant" will air on Saturday, 25 July 2026 at 17:00 CET and be streamed simultaneously on the ARD Mediathek and the Joyn platform, accessible via smartphone, tablet, smart TV or PC. The one‑hour broadcast runs until 18:00, with the livestream offering a synchronized feed rather than a delayed version.

MDR's documentary program "Elefant, Tiger & Co." is scheduled for 28 July 2026 at 14:25 CET on the main channel and is also provided as a live stream through the MDR Mediathek. Viewers can watch the 50‑minute episode "Ein Festessen: Geschichten aus dem Leipziger Zoo" online after the broadcast.

Both programmes illustrate how German public broadcasters are offering parallel live streams across multiple devices, reducing the need for viewers to switch between linear TV and on‑demand services.
