At prime time on Easter Sunday, ZDF shows “The Dream Ship”, but what does the rest of the holiday program look like?
The choice of channel could trigger criticism.
Mainz - On public holidays, TV stations don't show the usual television program: people like to look for successful blockbusters or classics in order to win the ratings battles.
The broadcasters have also changed their programming for the coming Easter days - and it is noticeable that ZDF wants to show a cult film series that other broadcasters, such as ARD, have avoided.
ZDF is hoping for successful Easter ratings with “Winnetou”.
ZDF continues to celebrate ratings success with “Bergdoktor”: the public broadcaster still uses a different program plan for the holidays.
A few classics will be shown, although they have repeatedly caused criticism in the past.
