ARD Cuts 'Hart aber fair' Broadcasts for 2025

The political talk show hosted by Louis Klamroth will see reduced airtime as ARD shifts focus to digital formats and younger audiences.

The ARD has announced that 'Hart aber fair' will air only 20 times in 2025, down from 30 episodes this year.
This decision is part of a broader strategy to emphasize non-linear, digital content aimed at engaging younger viewers.
Louis Klamroth's show has struggled with viewership, prompting changes including a revamped studio format and increased digital presence.
Maischberger's talk show will see an increase in episodes, with 67 planned for 2025, reflecting her strong audience performance.
The ARD is developing new formats with Klamroth, focusing on political discourse in the ARD Mediathek to attract younger demographics.
