Günther Jauch moves from RTL to ARD
Günther Jauch is returning to ARD after years at RTL. He is to take over from Anne Will from fall 2011 and take over the Sunday evening political talk show.
RTL wrote this in a press release on Thursday. Jauch will receive a three-year contract. Anne Will's talk show is to vacate its current Sunday slot for Jauch. With Jauch, ARD will further strengthen its information profile and structure its offering more clearly and reliably, said program director Volker Herres. The ARD committees still have to approve the decision. Jauch's appointment at ARD also goes hand in hand with a new program concept. In future, "Tagesthemen" will begin at 10.15 p.m. as a standard program.
Jauch is giving up his role as presenter of the RTL magazine show "Stern tv". However, RTL was able to retain Jauch for the RTL quiz show "Who wants to be a millionaire?
In January 2007, Jauch broke off negotiations with ARD. At the time, he was supposed to present a Sunday evening political talk show as Sabine Christiansen's successor. Jauch justified his refusal with fear of the constraints of the public broadcaster, which wanted to tie him exclusively to itself.
