Fernsehen aus Berlin (FAB) was a regional television station in Berlin, Germany. FAB was founded on 15 August 1990 and started its first broadcast on 1 February 1991. FAB operated on a complex rotating schedule, broadcasting several hours of fresh programming per day, focusing on local and regional themes with an emphasis on informational broadcasts. Its main evening programme was "Hallo Berlin", presenting daily news and lotto numbers.
FAB could be received via analogue terrestrial broadcast and by cable television. By first, it shared a frequency with RTL Television, but was available on a dedicated frequency in later years, as well as on DVB-T.
On 29 January 2009, the company declared bankruptcy and ceased operation by April 1 of the same year.[1]
