A breakdown in the ARD “Tagesschau” caused amusement in the Twitter community on Monday evening.
Simple sound problems were sufficient for this.
Hamburg - Even the ARD and its “Tagesschau” is not immune to TV breakdowns.
Such a thing happened on Monday evening in the prominent 8:15 p.m. edition and caused amusement in the Twitter community.
In the middle of the program, presenter Thorsten Schröder reported on the coalition negotiations in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Here the SPD and the Left presented their coalition agreement.
Breakdown in the ARD: “Tagesschau” presenter breaks off in the middle of a sentence
He got into the subject matter-of-factly and then started with the words: "The 77-page draft ..." then he stops, because: The film in which Schwesig holds the contract in the camera is already being played - with sound .
And so it comes to the curious situation that Schwesig interrupts the ARD man and lets the politician finish his sentence politely.
It gets even stranger because Schwesig also gets stuck in the clip itself and for a short time it seems as if she is reacting to the moderator's words.
After a short time, the “Tagesschau” presenter takes heart and simply continues with his sentence: “... presented Prime Minister Schwesig and the left parliamentary group leader Oldenburg together”.
But the problem was not solved: The politician continued to speak in the single player.
And so the two overlapped for a short time.
Breakdown in the ARD “Tagesschau”: “What's wrong with your sound?”
There was still no end to the sound problems: while the moderator was speaking, Manuela Schwesig's sound was briefly turned down.
Finally, no more duplication of language, one hopes as a viewer.
But then the sound goes up again and both speak again in parallel - until the clip and thus the topic in the daily news are over.
Of course, the scene immediately sparked an echo on Twitter.
"What's going on with your tone today," wrote one user.
Another Twitter user said: "Why does Manuela Schwesig Thorsten Schröder speak in the moderation"?
A third was already a bit sharper and wrote: "Today a new intern at the single-player control desk?"
After all: after the one-player breakdown, the rest of the program ran flawlessly.
