"The programme was not popular in East Germany. As Anna Funder describes in her book, Stasiland, engineers in power stations would struggle to stop a blackout from the power surge due to East Germans switching off their sets when the programme came on."

Is there anything to back this up or is it just an Urban myth ?

Even if nobody watched the programme surely they were switching over to other channels (Even in areas where Western TV was unavailable there was always DFF2) rather than turning off en-masse ? 87.112.88.106 02:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


Could someone add redirects from the English names... "Black Channel" and "The Black Channel". Couldn't figure out how to do this! Ooops!
