ZDF to Simulcast 'Der Quiz‑Champion' on Twitch

The move pairs a primetime charity quiz with a creator‑led Twitch stream to broaden the audience and boost donations for Deutsche Krebshilfe.

Overview

  • ZDF confirmed it will for the first time stream its XXL 'Der Quiz‑Champion' Spenden‑Special on Twitch this Saturday while also airing the show on linear TV and the ZDF streaming portal.
  • Twitch hosts Rosemondy and Tim Horus will run an independent program with extra actions and surprises from about 20:00 to 02:00, offering extended live interaction beyond the TV broadcast.
  • The ZDF main broadcast begins at 20:15, the on‑site quiz continues through the night and a Spenden‑Challenge will run in the ZDF streaming portal and later in the main TV program; contestants can win up to €100,000.
  • More than 30 celebrities and named experts, including Elton, Johann Lafer, Sarah Wiener and Katrin Bauerfeind, will take part and content creators will lead donation challenges and calls for contributions.
  • The experiment reflects public broadcasters' push to reach younger viewers on free streaming platforms and could change how late‑night fundraising blends TV production, creator formats and interactive donation mechanics.
