Overview
- RTL, which announced the change Monday after a months‑long test phase, will move its midday magazine Punkt 12 to permanent two‑host teams in May.
- The fixed pairings are Katja Burkard with Bernd Fuchs and Angela Finger‑Erben with Daniel Fischer, with Finger‑Erben’s first show set for May 18.
- Sabrina Ilski stays on the expanded Punkt 12 roster but will focus on Deutschland am Morgen, the new RTL/ntv morning program that launches May 4.
- Jan Malte Andresen is not listed for the midday duos and instead appears in the Deutschland am Morgen lineup, reflecting the broader morning reshuffle.
- Executives say the duos will give the three‑hour live block clearer structure, more viewpoints, stronger pace, and a sense of reliability, aligning on‑air changes with a company restructuring that has also consolidated morning shows and, per reports, reduced staff.
