Sound breakdown in the 8 o’clock edition of the ARD news program “Tagesschau”: Because her clip-on microphone was no longer transmitting sound, news anchor Judith Rakers (47) switched to older technology on Monday morning.
“I just heard that we have no sound. That’s why I’m going “old school” with this microphone now,” she said, and routinely continued to read the morning’s news.
After the 8 a.m. news, the moderators of “ARD-Morgenmagazin” reacted wittily to the sound problem. The trio Susan Link, Till Nassif and Peter Großmann also moderated with black hand microphones, laughing.
“We declare our full solidarity,” said Nassif. In the 8:30 a.m. edition, Rakers was again able to read aloud with a clip-on microphone. (dpa)
