Overview

  • On July 5 the ARD Mediathek displayed the November 2024 “Herzenssache” Spendengala instead of the new Schlager-Spaß mit Andy Borg episode, labeled with the current date.
  • An IPPEN.MEDIA inquiry prompted the ARD-Programmdirektion to state that “alles seine Richtigkeit,” offering no further clarification on the error’s cause.
  • Despite the online glitch, the new episode aired as scheduled at 20:15 on SWR and MDR without disruption to the TV broadcast.
  • Fans accustomed to early Mediathek previews have been unable to access the July 5 edition and are awaiting its proper upload.
  • ARD has not provided a timeline or explanation for correcting the Mediathek content, leaving the nature of the mix-up unresolved.
