TV and radio programs in Germany regularly list their schedules using days in German in abbreviated or full form. The standard abbreviations Mo, Di, Mi, Do, Fr, Sa, So appear in guides, websites, and newspaper listings.

For example, a TV guide might list:

• Mo 20:15 – Tatort → Monday at 8:15 PM – Tatort (a popular German crime series).

• Fr 22:30 – Nachrichten → Friday at 10:30 PM – News.

Additionally, German streaming services often display availability dates using these words. If a new series is coming out on a specific day, a description might say:

• "Neue Folge ab Donnerstag verfügbar." → New episode available from Thursday.

For live radio shows, DJs might announce schedules using phrases like:

• "Jeden Sonntag um 14 Uhr sind wir live!" → Every Sunday at 2 PM, we are live!

Understanding how days in German are used in media schedules is useful for navigating entertainment in Germany and catching your favorite shows at the right time.
