After a project period of two years, the Hessian Broadcasting station went on air with d’accord in 1999. Europe-wide this was the largest digitalisation project of a broadcasting complex and therefore had an announcement effect for many European broadcasting stations. Today 18 studios (incl. external studios in Gießen, Kassel, Fulda, Darmstadt and Wiesbaden) produce and broadcast radio programmes with a total of 6 channels on the basis of about 1800 work stations.

All d'accord applications are used for production and broadcasting. Production begins with data processing of current events. News messages by agencies, contributions from the German public radio station ARD-Sternpunkt or filetransfer are collected and placed into a central storage. This way messages are accessible for all employees and editorial offices. The d’accord.libraries and the mediathek provide for a media appropriate administration. News and contribution broadcasting also occurs via d'accord.

This means that all broadcastig content – apart from advertisement – is produced by d’accord.

Also the daily scheduling of the entire HR content is imaged with the help of d’accord modules. This includes d'accord-Music Scheduling as well.
In 18 studios broadcasting occurs with d’accord. d’accord.on air assist and d’accord.cart assist belong to the equipment of each studio.

Finally the archiving of music and aired content is handled by d’accord. For this, an intelligent bidirectional data exchange was implemented to the word and music data base "ZWM-hr" via a "UNIDAS- interface".
