SF stops "A red carpet for..." and joins "Musikantenstadl"

As Swiss Television announced on Monday, it is immediately abandoning further episodes of "Ein roter Teppich für..." and returning to "Musikantenstadl". The development of a new Saturday evening program will be tackled immediately. The reason: despite the line-up of big names such as Adolf Ogi, DJ Bobo and Marco Rima, viewer enthusiasm remained muted. Gabriela Amgarten, Head of the Entertainment department, sums up: "We therefore decided to do without further episodes of this format." Another change: Musikantenstadl will be back in the fall. The first show will be broadcast on September 23. Musikantenstadl is a co-production of ORF, ARD and SF. The programs will now be hosted by Andy Borg from Vienna.
