On May 3, 2021, Bayerischer Rundfunk announced that B5 aktuell would be renamed BR24 on July 1, 2021. "BR24" was added to the names of existing TV programmes. BR created a single brand for news.^[1] When it began broadcasting on May 6, 1991, B5 aktuell was the first news station in German-language radio.^[2]
