TV 20 years Wikipedia

Up until 2015 it was broadcast from the Main Tower in Frankfurt am Main (the "highest television studio in Europe"). Due to the studio's closure for cost reasons, in autumn 2015, the programme has been broadcast from Hessischer Rundfunk's television Studio 5 in the Funkhaus am Dornbusch in Frankfurt-Nordend using an elaborate virtual studio set with a computer-generated 3D skyline of Frankfurt.
