German public TV simultaneous livestreams

Entities: Elefant, Tiger & Co. · MDR · Joyn · ARD · Brisant

Overview

In early July 2026 MDR announced that its July 4 broadcasts would be available both as traditional TV and as a live stream, signalling a move toward multi‑platform delivery. Later in the month, ARD’s news program “Brisant” and MDR’s documentary “Elefant, Tiger & Co.” were also aired live on the ARD Mediathek and Joyn platforms, allowing viewers to watch the programmes on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs or PCs without a delay. These steps illustrate German public broadcasters’ ongoing effort to provide parallel live streams across devices, reducing reliance on linear TV and expanding on‑demand accessibility.
