In 2022, the intensive care physician and author Doc Caro signed a contract with the broadcaster Sat.1. Together they set up the show “Doc Caro – Einsatz mit Herz”. After the cancellation of the show was announced just a few days ago, Sat.1 was quickly over. Doc Caro switches to VOX.
Doc Caro in the future at RTL
The “best-known emergency doctor in Germany”, as the press release says, has found a new home with the RTL broadcaster VOX. There she will be seen in the future with a documentary series specially tailored to her, writes the RTL broadcasting group. “I’m really looking forward to working with VOX and RTL Germany. Our common desire is to reach people’s hearts, get them excited about medicine and their health and give exciting insights into socially relevant medical topics.” VOX has not yet announced exactly what the format will look like and, above all, how it should differ from the Sat.1 series. In addition to her new, own format, the doctor should also be seen as an expert in various magazines of the broadcasting group. That would make her a prominent health expert in the RTL cosmos.
Reasons for change unknown
Doc Caro, who became known throughout Germany not only through the TV show, but above all through her books and her Instagram channel, is changing the station group just under a week after the official cancellation at Sat.1. It is not known why “Doc Caro – Einsatz mit Herz” was not extended. The ratings were good, but “there are good reasons for this that are not intended for the public,” said broadcaster spokesman Christoph Körfer to the DWDL industry service.
