German Sign Language interpreting is available on linear TV channels – e.g. the day show on Phoenix (daily 8:00 p.m. – 8:15 p.m.), the special programs on the corona crisis on Tagesschau24 – are not enough. However, there are many sign language options on HbbTV and on the Internet, especially in the ZDF media library, ARD media library, WDR media library, NDR media library and MDR media library.
