DE: Der Bayerische Rundfunk (BR) ist die Landesrundfunkanstalt im Freistaat Bayern mit Sitz in München. Er ist Mitglied der Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ARD und hat die Rechtsform einer Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts.
In seiner heutigen Rechtsform besteht der Bayerische Rundfunk offiziell seit dem 25. Januar 1949. An diesem Tag übergab der Direktor der US-Militärregierung in Bayern, Murray D. van Wagoner, die Lizenzurkunde an den BR-Intendanten Rudolf von Scholtz. Vorgänger war die Deutsche Stunde in Bayern.
Am 22.

EN: Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Broadcasting, BR) is public-service radio and television broadcaster, based in Munich, capital city of the Free State of Bavaria in Germany. BR is a member organization of the ARD consortium of public broadcasters in Germany.
BR is a statutory corporation established under the Bavarian Broadcasting Law (Bayerisches Rundfunkgesetz), originally passed in 1948, and updated in 1993 to take account of the demands of a changed media and political environment. Its functions are determined by a legal foundation which lays down the principles under which the broadcaster operates and the structure of its internal organization.
The broadcast law is supplemented by the so-called Broadcast State Contract (Rundfunkstaatsvertrag), a multilateral agreement between all 16 German Länder which regulates the relationship of public and private broadcast in the dual broadcast system and which contains fundamental regulations particularly for financing. Just as important for the work of Bavarian Broadcasting is the cooperation of the ARD consortium, consisting of nine other regional broadcasting corporates as well as Deutsche Welle. The broadcasting service is further backed by the relevant European legal bases as well as the media service convention, which contain regulations for the on-line offerings of Bavarian Broadcasting.
BR provides programs to various TV and radio networks, some done in collaboration with other broadcasters, and others completely independently.
