West German commercial television

The WWF was a regional television program of the WDR at the transmission place of the pool of broadcasting corporations, of which from Monday to Friday previous evening one radiated.

Series

In this time on the one hand self-produced series (detective office Roth, port detective, large city district, on axle) were sent, US series A-team, Remington Steele to Simon & Simon) and other productions (the treasure in the universe), on the other hand culture program.

Culture program

Also the culture program of the WWF was filled with a number of own productions - of the world premiere of Kurt Weills Huckleberry Finn (1964) with texts of Maxwell Anderson one over the mini series in the shrubs of Mexico - the mystery B. Traven (1967) - a cinematic approximation to the writer - and rows like the television theatre the ticket (starting from 1966), which selfhaven-guesses/advises (starting from 1967) or A per pos jazz with Leonard Feather (starting from 1965) up to classical authors of the television program like the small one serenade (starting from 1963) or songs of the peoples (starting from 1967).

Into the 1960er-Jahren as suggestion for advertising customers under the title of intermediate plays and/or Intermezzo a record with a "excursion was produced annually by productions of the WWF".

Show

Each Friday the show WWF club produced with the WDR in Cologne was shown from 1980 to 1990. This was jump board for the television careers of moderators such as of the lip or Marijke Amado.

Only in the time window previous evening program was permitted it to platzieren to advertisement. The Reklamespots of the WWF was loosened up in addition still by small intermediate films (indication trick figures Schmitz&Schmitzchen, Ute, Schnute, Kasimir).
