RTL's 'Extra' Celebrates 30 Years of Impactful Journalism

The long-running magazine show marks its anniversary with a special episode highlighting three decades of investigative reporting.

The anniversary episode of 'Extra' will air on October 15, featuring reflections on the show's history and highlights.
Mareile Höppner, the current host, took over in early 2023, bringing a new face and a new Tuesday night timeslot to the program.
Originally hosted by Birgit Schrowange for 25 years, 'Extra' has consistently tackled pressing social issues through in-depth investigations.
The show has gained a reputation for uncovering hidden truths, from consumer scams to exposing poor working conditions at major companies.
With an average market share of 8.4% among 14- to 49-year-olds, 'Extra' remains a significant player in the competitive landscape of private broadcasting.
