NITRO

NITRO is a German free-to-air television channel that focuses on action-oriented content, including feature films, crime series, and documentary-style programming. Its schedule often includes martial arts movies, thrillers, and police procedurals, alongside true-crime reports and investigative journalism. The channel also broadcasts motorsport coverage, such as the FIA World Rallycross Championship, and airs selected reality formats. NITRO’s programming leans toward a male audience interested in high-energy entertainment, but it also includes occasional lifestyle and technology features. The channel is part of the RTL Group’s portfolio in Germany.

Viewers can access NITRO via cable, satellite (including Astra 19.2°E), and IPTV providers across Germany. The channel also offers a live stream through its website and the RTL+ streaming platform, where selected shows are available on demand after broadcast. Electronic program guides list daily schedules, which typically repeat key titles in prime-time slots. NITRO does not produce its own news or talk shows, relying instead on acquired content and reruns of established series.
