Bim Bam Bino

"Bim Bam Bino" was the name of a show for children, with TV shows for children and teens. A plush mouse called Bino served as "announcer" between the different TV series.

At the time, most of the other channels had a few weekly or daily series for children. Some channels had "double features" with two shorter shows running "back to back". With its "Bim Bam Bino" Tele 5 was the only channel that had a big program block for children and teens. Only a few hours at first, later the entire afternoons and early evenings. At the time the channel went off air, "Bim Bam Bino" made up the biggest part of Tele 5's program and ran from about 9 am to 6 or 7pm.

The new Tele 5

In April 2002, the company "Tele München Gruppe" recontinued the channel. When it was announced that "Tele 5 comes back" a few months prior to the relaunch of the channel, many fans of the original Tele 5 hoped to see their beloved TV shows again. Most of the cult shows of the original Tele 5 hadn't been seen on German TV since the original channel closed in 1992. However, most of those hopes were dashed.
