German iTunes users just got a payload of TV Sendungen (transmission programs) to enhance their multimedia shopping experience. The 35 available shows are mostly of German origin, including series from the German Channels ProSieben, Sat.1, ZDF Enterprises and Brainpool, as well as German versions of U.S. shows from ABC Studios and MTV Networks.
The shows are priced from 1,99 Euro to 2,49 Euro. Shows from Germany include "Stromberg," "GSG9" and "Tramitz and Friends," along with the German versions of "Grey's Anatomy," Season 3 of "Lost," Season 6 of "South Park" (as noted by several tipsters) and the oft-overlooked "Hannah Montana," which all of our German tipsters left off the list. Oh, come on, Hannah Montana makes the wait worthwhile, doesn't she?
We're glad to see another jump in the content iTunes provides in countries outside of the U.S. and hope for more to come!
Thanks Matteo, Danny, Robert and everyone else who sent this in!

"Sendung" means television or radio program; "Programm" means television or radio network. (z. B. man kann eine Sendung im dritten Programm sehen.)
The "Sendungen" are television programs, not transmissions.

The offered content is a sad joke. Marketing random B-Class series or 8 year old content for 1,99€ - 2,49€ (thats $3,14 - $3,93) is just not the right way to introduce this portal. Feels like an expensive remnant bazar.

While I don't speak German, it did get me thinking about whether or not these shows should be made available to all iTunes users and not just those in Germany or any other country for that matter. It would be great to be able to download Top Gear form the UK or some French soap opera. Is this ever going to be possible?

ZDF Enterprises and Brainpool aren´t channels, they are studios. Nevertheless, the content is just sad. The only good shows are "Stromberg" and "Harald Schmidt", which episodes are 8(!) years old;-(
