old videos - see their logo in the upper right corner - lettering at the start has some words in German, not Dutch. There's a Top 40 logo in the upper left corner, too. There was a Top 40 music program on German TV by the 1990s, going by videos I've seen on YouTube from DW-TV. Deutsche Welle TV didn't start till the '90s, but there were German music shows earlier (Beat-Club and Rockpalast probably the best known) so it's quite possible there was one called Top 40. I was hoping to find some info on the staging and costumes.
