OK4 is a cooperative citizen-television platform with studios in Adenau, Koblenz and Neuwied. Its number should not be used to guess how many studios it currently has. The official FAQ and dated program guide provide a more useful picture: local production support combined with a shared running order of many different contributors’ films.

The program contains several forms of citizen media
The November 4, 2026 guide mixes local portraits, music, travel, satire and media-education material. It includes the local gern sehen collection, the satire magazine Homezone and Irgendwas mit Medien!? with a digital-life subject. Those labels help distinguish an observational film, a humorous interpretation and an explanatory production.
A viewer seeking a public issue should therefore retain the production’s own format. A satire magazine is not a conventional news bulletin, and a community performance is not necessarily a live event merely because it appears in a current running order. The shared platform does not require every contributor to use one newsroom style.
A transmission date can be newer than the recording
The dated guide includes an explicitly identified 2024 concert and a 2018 music-festival recording among later transmissions. These examples show why the program date and the event date should not be collapsed into one. An older performance can legitimately appear in a current viewing slot.
For a historical or local-culture search, keep both dates where the publisher provides them. The recording date locates the event in time; the transmission date explains when that version was scheduled. Location blocks and repeated appearances organize the channel, while the original production title and event details explain the film itself. Together they make a more precise record than the OK4 name alone.
Useful answers
Does OK4 currently mean four studios?
The official FAQ names three cooperative studio associations: Adenau, Koblenz and Neuwied. The numeral in the brand should not replace the publisher’s explicit description.
Why can a 2018 performance appear in a 2026 program guide?
The guide is a transmission schedule and includes older recordings. A film’s original event date and its later scheduled transmission are different dates, both useful for interpreting the material.
