Serious breakdown at ARD: “Tagesschau” canceled - after several interruptions

Due to massive technical problems, the “Tagesschau” had to be interrupted several times and finally canceled completely.

Hamburg - There

was a serious breakdown at

ARD

.

The

“Tagesschau”

at 5 pm had to be

interrupted several times

.

Eventually the

news broadcast was

canceled completely.

Even at the beginning of the

broadcast

, the images were missing in the background.

And after moderator

Claus-Erich Boetzkes had presented

the first contribution on the financial situation of the hospitals,

the first massive breakdown occurred

.

The post did not start.

Boetzkes

was irritated.

“So now there should actually be a contribution.

And the background images too.

We don't have either.

I don't know now, shall we move on to the next topic?

Or do we wait for the post to come? ”The

moderator

asked

while rubbing his hands.

Tagesschau canceled: moderator apologizes to viewers

Boetzkes

wasn't even sure he was on the

air

at all

.

After several seconds of standstill, he spoke of "a

massive technical problem

".

The first

interruption followed

.

"We have to

stop

the

broadcast

at this point

because we obviously can no longer run the contributions," said

Boetzkes

and apologized to the audience.

“I'm sorry that we have to stop again after less than a minute.

Maybe a new beginning will be possible within the next few minutes.

See you then maybe. ”The

moderator

grew impatient.

"And", he asked before the control room displayed the error message.

The second attempt finally followed after around three minutes.

The pictures in the background were now there and the post started.

But it was the wrong one.

After the director recognized the mistake, they stopped the contribution, but the sound continued.

Boetzkes

-

faded in

again - said: "Once the worm is in, it's right in."

But then it worked at first.

The contribution to the financial difficulties of the clinics started, but the audio track was again missing.

Boetzkes

had to admit with routine: “Well, ladies and gentlemen, the second attempt didn't work either.

Unfortunately, we have to break off at this point. ”For the 5pm

“ Tagesschau ”

this was finally the knockout“ I apologize.

In that case I suggest to 20:00 comes the next and then - hopefully - perfect -

Tagesschau

.

For them until then. "
