Welt

2000–2003	2003–2016	2016–2018	2018–present

Welt (meaning World) is a TV news channel in Germany and one of its oldest and best-known. Launched in January 2000 as N24 by ProSiebenSat.1 Media, it was sold in 2010 and acquired by the print publishing group Axel Springer in 2013, though it continued to provide news coverage for ProSiebenSat.1’s three main channels until 2016. Axel Springer renamed N24 to Welt in 2018, in line with its newspapers, Die Welt and Welt am Sonntag.

Welt’s traditional competitor is n-tv, which has been owned by Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland, the main domestic competitor of ProSiebenSat.1, since 2006.

Welt

2018–present

HD variant

On 18 January 2018, N24 was renamed to Welt, as the final step in an effort by Axel Springer (and its news broadcast division, WeltN24 GmbH) to streamline all of its news operations under the Welt brand (which is used by the newspapers Die Welt and Welt am Sonntag). However, the on-air graphics from the 2016 rebranding remain unchanged.

Welt’s sister channel N24 Doku continues to use the N24 brand. Moreover, N24’s Austrian feed was replaced by an Austrian feed of N24 Doku on the same day. However, it was shut down on 1 February 2021.
