Why can I not find a specific production?

Why can I not find a specific production?

There may be various reasons if you cannot find specific productions.

  • We strive to keep our database current and to ingest productions after their transmissions as soon as possible. This can, however, sometimes take several months. If the production you are looking for has only been broadcast recently it probably has not found its way into our database yet. Just check back after a while.
  • Specific production types belonging to the “open budgets” are not listed in our database due to cost reasons. Please check out the according page for more information.
  • GVL only analyses productions which have been transmitted via common, free-to-air broadcasters within Germany. Which broadcasters are taken into account is subject to the corresponding distribution plan.
    This also means that neither streaming providers nor other online publications or transmissions on niche channels are currently relevant to GVL.


If you still cannot find individual productions please contact the corresponding team of experts which will happily assist you with your search.
