On Monday there is an XL strike in Germany.
Sat.1 and RTL are therefore changing their program – and not only “Who wants to be a millionaire” loses its slot.
Cologne – Germany stands still on Monday – at least public transport.
Long-distance and, in some cases, local transport will be completely discontinued.
Airports, buses and motorway tunnels are also affected.
Reason enough for Sat.1 and RTL to run a special.
However, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" loses its slot as a result.
"Never existed in Germany": Sat.1 dedicates an XL strike to a special broadcast
"There has never been such a large dimension of industrial action in Germany," Sat.1 editor-in-chief Juliane Eßling told
dwdl.de.
That's why the broadcaster now also has a special program entitled "Streik Spezial.
Germany stands still” announced.
The 20-minute special will be moderated by Claudia von Brauchitsch.
"We want to know: How tense is the financial situation of the strikers really and how great is the acceptance and understanding of the citizens for the concerted action of the trade unions?", says Eßling.
"99 - One: r beats them all!" is accordingly shifted a little backwards.
"Who wants to be a millionaire" not only a hit in Germany - TV show with several offshoots:
Not only in this country has "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" been a real ratings hit for years, the TV show originally from Great Britain (there: "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?") has also developed into a real mass phenomenon internationally.
The quiz show has been licensed in over 100 countries worldwide, including Albania, Austria, Belgium, Turkey, the Netherlands, Italy, Vietnam, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland.
The program sequence, the optics and the music are often almost identical.
RTL with a special on Monday evening: "Who wants to be a millionaire" flies from the slot
But RTL is also planning a 15-minute special on the strike.
On Monday evening, Maik Meuser reports on the XL strike and its background.
“RTL Aktuell Spezial” gets what is probably the most coveted slot: at the absolute prime time at 8:15 p.m.
Loyal fans know that "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" is actually on at this time.
But of course TV viewers don't have to do without Günther Jauch on Monday.
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" starts just 15 minutes later on Monday.

Apropos "Who wants to be a millionaire": Whoever sits on the notorious quiz chair not only needs well-founded specialist knowledge, but also a large portion of general knowledge.
Candidate Esther Gebhard had to realize on Monday (March 6th, 2023) that a lack of knowledge about bananas of all things would have cost her almost 16,000 euros on "Who wants to be a millionaire".
