The third "television programme" ofHessischer Rundfunk was founded on 5 October 1964 under the nameHessisches Fernsehprogramm. Its registered office is inFrankfurt am Main. In the last few decades, the name, logo and appearance of the program have changed several times. Between 1983 and 1997 the programme was calledHessen Drei and from 1997 to 2004hessen fernsehen. Since 3 October 2004 it has been calledhr-fernsehen.
Hessen 3 was the onlythird programme to broadcasttelevision advertising from January 1985 to December 1992. The proceeds were intended to finance hr's fourth radio station (hr4). Initial revenues of around DM 15 million a year were generated, most recently they amounted to around DM 12 million. In the 1987 Interstate Broadcasting Treaty(Rundfunkstaatsvertrag), however, the states agreed that no moreadvertising should be broadcast inHessen 3 as soon as the funds required forhr4 from broadcasting fees were available. In 1988 a passage was included in the HR-law, after which the hr was only allowed to broadcast advertising inHessen 3 until the end of 1992.[2]
Hr-fernsehen began broadcasting in HD on 5 December 2013, however it was broadcast in upscaled format until 26 January 2015. During Easter 2014, the documentaryHessen von oben was broadcast in native HD as a test.[3]
