摘要

This chapter begins in 1940 with coverage of the spring and summer offensives and their effects on programmes, e.g., Military Communiqués, Sondermeldungen (Special Announcements). In June 1940, the rapid change in Nazi broadcasting was marked by the start of a single national network. The effects and the popular response are recorded. Nazi post-war plans for radio and TV are mentioned. Attention is paid to the continuation and end of Wunschkonzert, as well to other entertainment shows, such as “Something for Everyone” and the “German People’s Concert”. In this context the touchy problem of acceptable dance-music is mentioned. Weekly radio programme magazines were discontinued. Christmas programmes in 1940, including the first Ringsendung (hook up with fronts), as well as the radio treatment of Good Friday and Easter, are discussed. The television service continued.
