„Wer weißt denn sowas“ fällt am 8. April aus. Die ARD hat die beliebte Quizsendung aus dem Programm genommen. Stattdessen wird das Nations-League-Spiel der deutschen Frauen-Nationalmannschaft gegen Schottland gezeigt. Weitere Sendeformate wie „Brisant“ und „WaPo Duisburg“ entfallen ebenfalls. Das Spiel wird ab 17:15 Uhr live übertragen. Ab Mittwoch kehrt „Wer weiß denn sowas“ und die anderen Formate zu ihren regulären Sendezeiten zurück.

Overview

  • 'Wer weiß denn sowas?', one of ARD's flagship quiz shows, was replaced on April 8 by a live broadcast of the UEFA Nations League match between the German and Scottish women's national teams.
  • The decision reflects ARD's strategy to prioritize high-profile live events over regular programming to attract broader viewership.
  • Other regular ARD programs, including 'Brisant' and 'Wissen vor acht,' were also displaced to accommodate the live coverage.
  • The quiz show, hosted by Kai Pflaume with team captains Elton and Bernhard Hoëcker, is set to return to its usual time slot on April 9 with a new episode.
  • This programming adjustment comes during a period of change for ARD, including Elton's announced departure and Hoëcker's earlier suspension for campaign rule violations.
