Overview

• Romy Hiller was announced as the new Tagesschau moderator on April 15 and led her first 20:00 broadcast on June 14.
• She brings experience from anchoring Tagesschau24 as well as the night and 9:00 editions of the program.
• Hiller opted for a concise “Guten Abend” greeting instead of the traditional “Meine Damen und Herren.”
• She kept a personal “Notfallzettel” with key topic cues on hand to ensure smooth transitions during her premiere.
• The 20:00 Tagesschau attracts about ten million viewers each evening and Hiller’s debut was met with professional composure.
