After 16 years of Anne Will in the first, the presenter will end her talk format at the end of the year. Now the ARD could have found a successor.
The ARD “Tagesthemen” moderator Caren Miosga (54) is under discussion as a possible successor to political talker Anne Will. At the request of the German Press Agency, the leading ARD broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) announced on Tuesday evening: “ARD is currently developing a coordinated talk concept together. Norddeutscher Rundfunk is in talks with Caren Miosga about the successor to Anne Will for a political talk show on Sunday evening in the first.” The “Bild” newspaper reported first.
The public broadcaster went on to say: “The broadcaster will not comment on ongoing negotiations. As soon as there are binding agreements, the NDR will inform you.”
TV talker Anne Will wants to devote herself to new projects at the end of the year
Anne Will will end her political talk show of the same name at the end of the year. The contract expires, and the well-known TV presenter then wants to turn to other projects. She then moderated the show for around 16 years for the first. It runs on Sunday evenings after the “crime scene” – so in a very prominent slot.
Should Miosga become the new political talker, she would again inherit from Will. Miosga replaced Will in 2007 as presenter on the ARD news program “Tagesthemen”. Miosga is now the longest-serving “Daily Issues” presenter.
