DW-RADIO via Satellite

Deutsche Welle is Changing its Broadcasting Strategy for Europe

DW will continue to broadcast on Hotbird 8

Reception via live stream, podcasts and on demand will become increasingly important

Since January 1, 2010, Deutsche Welle is
no longer available on ASTRA, but will
remain available on Hotbird 8 for European
customers.
This affects DW-TV EUROPE and the audio
channels DW01 (German program) and DW04 (different languages).

You can receive the following DW language services via Hotbird 8:

Albanian, Arabic, Belarus, Bulgarian,
Farsi, French, Greek, Croatian, Macedonian,
Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian,
Turkish and Ukrainian.

Reception via partner stations

It will still be possible to watch and listen to
DW-TV and DW-RADIO in Europe through our
partners (cable providers, FM stations, Internet
platforms etc). 

You will find information about reception via
Hotbird 8, livestream, podcasts and on demand
