Disco TV was a
pop music
program that aired in Germany on the
ZDF network from 1971
to 1982. It generally aired each Saturday night at 7:30PM, running 45 minutes
each week. 133 shows were produced. The show was hosted by German actor and
comedian Ilja Richter. Its lesser known predecessor on ZDF, 4-3-2-1 Hot &
Sweet was aired between 1966 and 1970, presenters included Richter and
Suzanne Doucet. Disco generally served a younger pop-oriented audience
compared to ZDF's
Hitparade, and until 1972, its main competitor was Beat-Club
(originally patterned after the pure live-act show
Ready Steady Go! in the UK, from the late-1960s turning more and more
into psychedelic music videos made especially for the invited acts), followed by
Musikladen, both on
ARD.
Repeats of Disco have been aired since 1984 on
ZDF Musikkanal, after its closedown in 1989 on
3sat. Since 2004,
the digital ZDF Theaterkanal aired repeats of the entire series. In 2007, ZDF
Dokukanal began to air reruns, starting with episodes from 1975.
The show focussed on
chart hits current at the time of airing, giving about equal airtime to
international pop music and German
Schlager.
Despite its name, it did not particularly focus on
disco music
although it featured many disco hits as long as they were chart relevant. (The
name of the show was devised before disco as a musical style existed).
