About DAS!

DAS! is a compact daily talk program that airs at 6:45 p.m., where a single guest settles onto a red sofa for a focused conversation about what is currently shaping life in northern Germany. Rather than long-form reporting, the show blends brief interviews, quick news roundups and lighter cultural segments so viewers get an immediate sense of the day's headlines and human interest items before prime time. Presenters keep the tone familiar and conversational, steering topics from regional politics to entertainment and community events. Episodes stick to a predictable rhythm, making DAS! a short, regular appointment for anyone wanting an efficient update on what’s happening up north. Guests range from regional politicians to cultural figures and small-business owners.

Created in 1991 and directed by Jürgen Kellermeier, DAS! is a German regional talk-news program. Hosts Hinnerk Baumgarten, Inka Schneider and Bettina Tietjen share presenting duties, introducing guests, quick reports and recurring short features aimed at local viewers.

There are no records of major national or international awards for DAS!, and it does not appear on lists of Emmy, Golden Globe or major German television prize nominees. Any commendations the series might have received are likely local festival mentions or broadcaster acknowledgements rather than high-profile honors.

For viewers in northern Germany the fixed 6:45 p.m. slot and the red sofa image functioned as a reliable early-evening signal, and local commentators sometimes referenced the show when discussing regional trends. It didn't cross into widespread national fame, but it did help shape viewing rhythms and local media conversation.

Critical analysis is scarce and audience feedback is limited, reflected in a 4.2 out of 10 user score from only five votes. Viewers who favored the show appreciated its speed, light tone and focus on regional happenings, while others wanted deeper reporting or broader national coverage from an evening program.
