Linda Zervakis from Hamburg said goodbye as spokeswoman for the ARD “Tagesschau” with a last »Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!«.
On Monday evening, the 45-year-old read the most important news of the day for the last time on the 8 p.m. program.
At the end of the 15-minute block, she did not use large gestures or extra farewell words.
Instead, she left it with a general farewell to the audience.
"I wish you a nice evening.

Zervakis has been with ARD-aktuell since 2006 and has also been speaking the 8 p.m. news of the ARD flagship since 2013.

Tagesschau "very much regrets having to do without Linda Zervakis," he said on the broadcast website.
