History
The ARD digital broadcaster started on 30 August 1997 as EinsExtra. It was positioned as information channel. Until 2006, the network's programming consisted largely of re-airings of morning shows, talk shows and documentaries from Das Erste and the regional public broadcasters. From 2006 to 2009, the channel was an all news network, with the launch of a news-centred show, EinsExtra Aktuell. On 1 May 2012, EinsExtra Aktuell was renamed tagesschau24, taking its name from Das Erste's flagship evening newscast.

Why this record matters
“Tagesschau24” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Tagesschau24, television and station provides the most credible route into that argument.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q264938. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2012, 2013 and 2006.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
