History
Divisions
Regional state studios
Since 1975, the BRF operates five regional state studios, which organize radio and television for several Besmenian states. The five state studios operate their own television programs for their federal states as well as radio programs for each federal state individually. The regional broadcasting stations also co-produce some television productions for the nationwide BRF TV channels. The state studios also play a role in national news and magazine broadcasts. For the HIL, contributions from the respective federal state are usually delivered completely (i.e. completely edited) from the regional state studio to the BRF headquarters in Laitstadt. In addition to their headquarters, the state studios have some branch offices in their broadcasting area, which are primarily involved in the production of the radio programs of the federal states or in reporting.
