The East German Broadcasting Station Brandenburg (ORB) is a public radio broadcasting station that uses the integrated d’accord system for many years and on many locations. It just recently merged with the broadcasting station Sender Freies Berlin (SFB) to become Radio Berlin Brandenburg (RBB).

The channel Antenne Brandenburg is produced at the headquarters of the former ORB in Potsdam-Babelsberg. Antenne Brandenburg is produced and broadcast at the two large regional studios in Frankfurt/Oder and Cottbus. With the addition of three smaller locations in in Perleberg, Prenzlau and the State Parliament in Potsdam, the entire state of Brandenburg is covered.

Besides the channel Antenne Brandenburg, the following regional channels are also partially broadcast in this region:

• Radio 1 – formerly a cooperative programme with the SFB
• Radio 3 – a classical channel together with the North German production NDR
• Fritz – the "Young Channel" formerly together with the SFB
• Inforadio – formerly produced in and broadcast from Berlin at the SFB

The d'accord system version 3 relies on a central database in Babelsberg, where all descriptive data is kept for all participating locations and channels. In addition, the complete audio database is stored here with accessibility to a robot system. In the large regional studios, decentralized audio servers are used to minimize the traffic of data transfer.

The d'accord-system unites 400 users and 13 studios in total. In addition, the integrated news system of d’accord NewsRoom delivers press agency information for the tv programme "Aktuell Redaktion".
