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.
