ARD and MDR Add Free Streaming for ‘Velvet Collection’ Season 2 and ‘Musik in den Bergen’
The ARD Mediathek has added the second season of the Spanish historical costume drama ‘Velvet Collection’ to its free online catalogue.

On 27 July 2026, the public broadcaster MDR streamed the folk‑music programme ‘Musik in den Bergen’ live at 02:00 CET. The episode, presented by musician Dominik Glöbl, featured a canoe trip on the Wiesent, a rock‑climbing segment at Kalkfelsen, and visits to local sites such as Burg Rabenstein, highlighting regional specialties, a cherry queen and a local brewmaster.
