History
The channel started on 5 April 1969 as a collaboration between Süddeutscher Rundfunk (SDR), Südwestfunk (SWF) and SR named “Südwest 3“. SDR and SWF merged in 1998 to form SWR and the channel was renamed “Südwest Fernsehen“. The name “SWR Fernsehen” was adopted in September 2006.
The channel is available in two different versions:

They are somewhat infamous for a series of highly graphic PSAs they produced in the 1990s and 2000s, some of which included famously violent scenes from popular movies such as Hellraiser, Pulp Fiction, American Psycho and Goodfellas. A particularly controversial PSA from 2000, Amok, used actual footage from the then-recent Columbine High School massacre, suggesting a link between violent video games and violent criminal behavior.[2]
