- — Swiss television at the first parade, 1992. An SRF report from the very first Street Parade in 1992, broadcast in the youth programme 'Barock Dynamix' on 26 September 1992. Ravers are asked on camera what love means to them, and the piece frames the new techno scene as a celebration of peace and love.
- — Local television report on the 1995 parade. A mood report on the 1995 edition produced by the Zurich local station Zueri 1. It mixes street-level shots of the trucks and dancers with reactions filmed on the route, in the register of regional news of the mid-1990s.
- — The seventh parade, 8 August 1998. Amateur video shot on 8 August 1998 by the Rete Tre radio team, who covered the seventh edition live with Alessio Arigoni and Massimiliano Babbucci. The uploader warns that the picture quality is poor, but the tape carries the sound and density of the route that day.
- — Swiss television's live broadcast of the 2000 parade. The complete SF DRS live transmission from the ninth Street Parade on 12 August 2000, more than three hours long, presented by Christoph Baumgartner and Dominik Kaiser with Kathrin Winzenried reporting from inside the crowd. It cuts between studio links, impressions of the route and the boats and trucks on the lake basin.
- — Television excerpt from the 2003 parade. An excerpt from an episode of the programme Cool TV covering the 2003 parade, kept with its original on-site sound rather than a music bed. Swiss German commentary throughout.

- — Television best-of the twentieth parade, 2011. The forty-three minute programme broadcaster 3+ built around the twentieth Street Parade in 2011. It moves between the trucks, the stages and the crowd across the whole day.
- — German television at the 2011 parade. A Spiegel TV report filmed at the 2011 Street Parade and broadcast on 14 August 2011. It uses the parade as a vantage point on young Europeans during the financial crisis, following a young Spaniard through the day, and notes Zurich prices along the way.
