RTL Debuts Virtual Reality Studio for 'Explosiv' and 'Exclusiv' and Replaces 'Die Bachelors' with Promi-Pool-Quiz

The virtual set with realistic depth and transitions is part of RTL's strategy to revitalize its evening schedule after 'Die Bachelors' drew fewer than a million viewers.

Overview

  • RTL’s evening magazines 'Explosiv' and 'Exclusiv' now share a virtual reality studio that delivers a realistic impression with visible shadows, reflective surfaces and spatial depth.
  • The new setup facilitates seamless live handovers and in-studio discussions between hosts, creating a smoother transition from one magazine to the next.
  • Design studio Veech x Veech collaborated with RTL to create the VR environment and align it with the broadcaster’s flagship news aesthetics.
  • RTL removed 'Die Bachelors' after its 0.78 million-viewer premiere and stiff competition from football broadcasts on Sat.1 and ProSieben, introducing Sophia Thomalla-hosted 'Splash! Das Promi-Pool-Quiz' in its place.
  • While dropped from linear TV, 'Die Bachelors' continues exclusively on RTL+, with its finale rescheduled to August 27.
