ARD Pulls 4 p.m. Tagesschau Through Dec. 11, Extends Brisant Into Slot

The broadcaster is running a short trial in the low-rated afternoon block without offering a public rationale.

Overview

  • From November 3 to December 11, the 10-minute 4 p.m. Tagesschau bulletin is suspended on Das Erste.
  • Brisant begins at 4 p.m. during the trial and is extended by ten minutes.
  • The next Tagesschau edition on weekdays now airs at 5 p.m.
  • The move follows October changes that shifted Brisant to 4:10 p.m. and displaced the quiz show Gefragt – Gejagt.
  • Media reports indicate ARD intends to revert the afternoon schedule in mid-December, restoring the usual timeslots.
