No “Anne Will” despite the Söder-Laschet showdown: The reason is banal - spectators rage

Anne Will fell out again on Sunday - despite the showdown on the Chancellor question and the dispute over the Corona emergency brake.

Many viewers are annoyed.

Berlin - There would have been enough politically relevant topics for Anne Wills Talk on Sunday.

After all, both Markus Söder and Armin Laschet have expressed their willingness to become the Union's candidate for chancellor.

The still inconsistent Corona rules would also have provided good topics of conversation.

After all, the federal government is planning a statutory Corona emergency brake - and many politicians are anything but agree with this proposal.

Nevertheless, the political talk show did not run as usual on the Sunday after the crime scene.

Instead, ARD broadcast the crime series “Rebecka Martinsson”.

But why is Anne Will pausing since the broadcast with the Chancellor on March 28th - is the presenter still in the Easter break?

Anne Will: Talk show in an extended Easter break

In fact, Anne Will is still in the extended Easter break.

The next broadcast won't flicker on the screens until April 18th.

The reason for this is banal: the contract between the NDR (ARD) and the production company Will Media GmbH, which produces the talk show with Anne Will, only provides for 30 issues per year.

This means that the program is often canceled outside of general vacation weeks.

The topic and the guests for the coming week are not yet known.

Chancellor Angela Merkel was a guest on the most recent program - that generated high ratings.

Five million people are said to have followed the interview in front of the TV screens.

This is the best odds since mid-December 2020, reports the

Younger people in particular watched the interview with the Chancellor.

The failure causes a lot of resentment on Twitter.

For example, one user writes: “Today the talk show after the crime scene would be an interesting thing.

Does #annewill have summer break or what's going on?

And can't you reschedule that at short notice, dear @ARDde? ”Another writes:“ Today it would have been an interesting conversation .. What a shame @annewill

#Candidate for chancellor ”Another user also writes:“ Dear Anne Will, until the end I didn't want to believe that you weren't on the air today.

Please renegotiate with ARD, rigid broadcast schedules, no matter what happens, slowly ruin your reputation (and our interests). "

But other talk shows will discuss the main political issues this week.

On Monday (April 12), Frank Plasberg will address the issue of the Union's chancellor on “Hart aber fair” on ARD from 9 p.m.

Due to current events, the topic was changed at short notice: "Showdown of the candidates - does the Union stumble the Chancellery?"

it is now.

In addition, on Tuesday (April 13th) Markus Lanz will invite you to his talk on ZDF from 11:15 p.m.

In both cases, the guests were not yet known on Monday morning.
