Sorbischer Rundfunk

[5] The first radio program in Sorbian language to be produced in Germany appeared on October 14, 1948, following the demands of then Domowina leader Pawoł Nedo.

[3][7] Again on the demand of the Domowina, on March 22, 1953, the public broadcasting committee of the East Germany (GDR) founded a Sorbian Studio, located in Görlitz.

[4] The studio director, Klaus Hammo from Krauschwitz, was the only Sorbian journalist in the GDR's public broadcast.

[3] Effective December 31, 1956, the Sorbian Studio at the public broadcasting committee was dissolved.

Its members were sent to the Sorbian editorial offices of Radio GDR 1 and Sender Cottbus.

[7][6] The existence of content in Sorbian is protected by state law in both Brandenburg and Saxony.

[10][4] On April 19, 1992, the ORB broadcast the Lower Sorbian edition Łužyca for the first time.

The RBB broadcasts its Sorbian TV show Łužyca every third Saturday of the month from 2 to 2:30 pm.

It is repeated the following Tuesday during the night and in MDR (Saxonian program) the forth Saturday of the month at 12:20 pm.

[22][4] The quality and design of the program is assessed by German speaking journalists making up the vast majority of the MDR/RBB employees.

[13][22] In addition, as they MDR/RBB are providing the Sorbischer Rundfunk with certain timeslots dedicated to given programs or topics, it is hard for the Sorbian journalists to cater to the audience or introduce innovations into their shows.
