Since the mid-2000s, the program has been supplemented by other art forms. Thus, music formats such as Later with Jools Holland or concert recordings were broadcast.

Also, ZDF-produced Arte and 3sat programs were rebroadcast, including Kulturzeit , Tracks  [ de ], Durch die Nacht mit … , Bauerfeind and FOYER .
