The daily topics-Moderator Caren Miosga is apparently supposed to succeed political talker Anne Will. The Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), which is responsible for this within the ARD, confirms negotiations with the 54-year-old. On request, he told the German Press Agency: “ARD is currently developing a coordinated talk concept together. Norddeutscher Rundfunk is in talks with Caren Miosga about Anne Will’s successor for a political talk show on Sunday evening on the first.”
NDR did not give any further details. “The broadcaster will not comment on ongoing negotiations. As soon as there are binding agreements, the NDR will inform you about it,” it said.
The political talk show on Sunday evening in the first is one of the most prominent broadcast slots on public television. Anne Will, 57, will be leading the show of the same name until the end of the year. In January it became known that she wanted to stop after that. The contract expires and the presenter then wants to turn to other projects. She will then host the show for more than 16 years for the first.
Should Miosga become the newcomer for Sunday evening, she would inherit Will again – she already released Will in 2007 from the ARDdaily topics away. There she is now the longest-serving presenter. Miosga, who comes from Lower Saxony, has been working for the NDR since 1999 – for example as a moderator of the media magazine Zapp as well as the broadcast Titles, theses, temperaments.
Anne Will is one of the most important talk shows on German TV. In terms of content, it competes with programs by the talkers Markus Lanz (ZDF), Maischberger (ARD), Louis Klamroth (Hard but fairARD) and Maybrit Illner (ZDF). But their programs run on other days.
