Super RTL (Germany)

Super RTL is one of the German Children's Channels, and was launced in 1995. Joint owned by RTL and Disney, it broadcasts via Satellite to Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As it's FTA, though, it can be picked up elsewhere in Europe too. Throughout the day, the channel is split into three distinct areas, each with different branding. Toggolino, in the early mornings, targets the pre-school audience. Toggo, in the afternoon, targets mid-range children, whilst the main Super RTL brand in the evening has an overall family slant to it.

Unlike UK channels, most of the German channels dont use idents very often, usually cutting straight from an advert or 'break end' bumper into the programme, with the occasional use of stings to break up flow.

Super RTL Break Bumper - 2002

Animated break bumpers are used into and out of every advert break on Super RTL. Unlike the silent ones over here though, these have music and a voiceover, almost like a mini-ident. The word 'Werbung' means 'Advert' just in case you're wondering.


Super RTL Advert - 2002

An advert for Super RTL. Yes its common practice on the Channel to spend more time advertising their website, than actually advertising their programmes!


Super RTL ECP - 2002

On the majority of German channels, the proper credits are rarely shown. Super RTL have their own generic credits, which basically just mention the production companies, and nothing else. This here shows them using the End Credit Promotions, which we've become so used to on ITV1 these days.


Super RTL Xmas Ident - 2002

Being a kids channel, Super RTL were pretty early with their Christmas Presentation. It started airing right from the beginning of December. Here we have... TADA... an ident. Yes, I managed to catch it, on one of its rare outings. It's a nice ident, but its strange that, whereas everything else in the graphics set is orange, the ident is blue!


Super RTL Xmas Break Bumper - 2002

A Christmas version of the Break Bumper, with a snowman falling down a hole.


Super RTL Xmas Break Bumper V2 - 2002

Another christmas bumper, this time with a load of Christmas trees being stolen by Father Christmas.


Super RTL Xmas Break End Bumper - 2002

The break bumper shown at the end of a break. This time, the snowman trips and falls apart. I dont think I need tell you what 'Werbung Ende' means.


Super RTL Break Bumper - 2003

After the Christmas break bumpers finished, this set was introduced, still based upon a 'winter' theme, only this time including a mix of live action and computer animation.


Super RTL Break End Bumper - 2003

A different bumper from the other side of the break. (ie at the end).


Super RTL Break End Bumper - 2003

Another break ending bumper. I find it hard to tell on this whether the circles falling down the mountain are supposed to represent snow or rocks. Still the great jingle makes up for it.


Toggolino Advert - 2003

Toggolino is the thread of Super RTL for younger children, and there are some slight differences in the branding and music used on adverts for the programmes. I like the remixed jingle here even better than the 'normal' version, although I'm not too sure about the graphics! (A cow - huh?)


Super RTL Ident - 2003

Yes... the new version of the elusive ident on Super RTL. It continues with the mix of live action and computer graphics. It's nice, but I cant help but wonder what exactly is supposed to be happening in it!


Super RTL Break Bumper - 2003

Early in 2003, the live action break bumpers disappeared (although the ident is still used... occasionally). For breaks, they reverted to the 'racing' theme that had been in use in 2002. Here's another break bumper in that style.


Super RTL Break End Bumper - 2003

Another variant for the break end, in the racing theme.


Toggo Game Tipp - 2003

The Toggo Game Tipp. Where the channel takes a look at a new computer game, with Super RTL branding surrounding it. Basically, it's little more than a blatent advert for a game.


Toggo Marathon - 2003

An advert for the Toggo Marathon. An event where the viewers favourite programme (From a massive choice of ...er... 2) would be played back to back one Sunday. Viewers are encouraged to phone in to vote for their favourite. Still, it's nice to see the channel branding used slightly differently.


Super RTL (Promo) - 2009

An example of the promo style for German channel Super RTL from 2009. Here promoting a show in one of their evening slots, thus sitting under the main 'Super RTL' family branding as opposed to the 'Toggo' or 'Toggolino' brands used for their mid and preschool strands.

Toggo (Break - Pollen) - 2019

Super RTL is a primarily children's oriented channel broadcasting to the German language countries, and is split into three strands throughout the day. The bulk of programming falls under the 'Toggo' brand, which features shows targeted for 6-13 year olds. The rest fall under either the 'Toggolino' brand, for pre-schoolers, or 'Super RTL' itself, which is reserved for more broader family shows from 8pm onwards. Branding changes throughout the day to match, with most of it being presentated via short stings and break bumpers. Here a spring-themed break bumper from 2019 features a bee-like creature getting an explosion of pollen to the face.


Toggo (Break End - Pollen) - 2019

Toggo (Break End - Dive) - 2019

Further into 2019, and the already downplayed secondary Super RTL brand is finally removed completely from break bumpers on the channel leaving just 'Toggo'. The style remains otherwise the same, changing by season. Here, in a summer-themed bumper, one of the characters dives into a small pool.

For this summer themed break bumper, the ice cream characters lick and bite one another. Sometimes it's best not to ask!
