History

For decades, the main edition of the ''Rundschau'' was broadcast at 6:45pm on BR Fernsehen; however, as part of a major programming overhaul, from 11 April 2016 it was extended from 15 to 30 minutes and moved to start at 6:30pm. As part of this revamp, ''Rundschau'' also received a new format, a new studio and a new on-air design. From 7 August 2017, BR put another new studio in operation, with a green screen and robotic cameras; the design of the ''Rundschau'' remained unchanged.
