TV, Radio and More
Daily newspapers, weekend editions, newsmagazines—the German media landscape is extensive. Whether in kiosks or department stores, newspapers are available everywhere. At larger train stations, kiosks or bookstores you can often buy papers in your own language, whether it’s “Le Monde” or “El País” or the “International Herald-Tribune.” Those who prefer to read for free rather than buy, a variety of materials are available for browsing or borrowing at city libraries. Almost all cafés offer magazines or newspapers alongside their coffees and cappuccinos.
Television
Germans love their televisions like everybody else. Alongside news and information programs there are all sorts of entertainment offerings flickering their way across the screen. These days the channel variety is almost as large as it is in that country of unlimited (TV) possibilities, the United States. International programs are also available. Of course it might take a little struggling with the remote control to find your program of choice.
Fees
Don’t forget, your TV set and radio must be registered with the GEZ, a fee-collecting body. Having a radio in the house costs five euro a month and a television 14 euro. For both radio and TV the fees stays at 14 euro.
