WUMMS

In recent years, the topics of sport and satire have become elementary components of society. For everyone it is completely logical that the Bundesliga and the other sports leagues hold their games on the weekend. Just as for many people in Germany a touch of satire and irony is now part of the vernacular. The channel “WUMMS” combines these two topics and thus regularly creates new and entertaining videos for the viewers.

Generally speaking, the channel “WUMMS” is a German sports satire channel which is produced and financed by “funk”. This means that the production of this channel will be taken over by NDR, Radio Bremen as well as WDR. In advance it is also important to mention that the videos of the channel “WUMMS” mainly serve the entertainment of the viewers on a satirical level and should fulfill this purpose. Likewise it is characteristic for the channel “WUMMS” that the videos on it are always differently arranged. For example, some videos feature real people acting and others are designed in a kind of comic drawing. However, it doesn’t matter at all how the videos are designed, because always and in all videos of the channel the focus is on sports with a satirical treatment of the topic in the videos.

Moreover, the channel “WUMMS” was already established on April 29, 2016. The first video on it appeared just a few days later on 08 May 2016 and was titled: “WUMMS: Why you should become a Bayern fan today!”. Already in this then first video the channel “WUMMS” showed clearly how the videos are designed, produced and edited and what kind of videos the viewers of the channel could expect. Since this first video at that time, new funny and entertaining videos appear regularly on the channel “WUMMS” with the topic sports in the center.
