With 4.9 percent in the advertising-relevant target group, the Sat.1 magazine “file.“a difficult year behind it. As the broadcaster has now confirmed to the industry service ‘DWDL’, it will also be the last year of the show that has been shown weekly in late prime time since 1995. According to the report, the show will no longer be available in 2023 be broadcast regularly. At the program mark wants Sat 1 but still hold on and, according to broadcaster Christoph Körfer, even increase the number of strokes.
In 2022 went “Akte.” 42 times on the air, but only attracted around 600,000 viewers aged three and over late Thursday evening. It was just about enough for the overall market an average of 3.2 percent. The show, moderated by Claudia von Brauchitsch, last ran on November 17th. In the meantime, the moderator has turned to other tasks and is now spokeswoman for “Sat.1 Nachrichten”, which Sat.1 itself has been moderating since the turn of the year. In the future, “Sat.1-Frühstücksfernsehen” and “ran” moderator Matthias Killing will present the program. He recently presented several “Sat.1 Spezial” programs.
Despite dismissal: “files.” remains Sat.1
“file.” will run regularly in prime time in 2023, with investigative reports such as 2022 about the battle empire Tönnies. In addition, there are always special editions in the Prime and, as before, in the Late Prime – but no longer week after week,” Körfer is quoted as saying. Sat.1 editor-in-chief Juliane Eßling adds: “The ‘Akte.’ editors have 2022 shone with investigative reports such as the slaughterhouse empire Tönnies or the short-term special programs about Boris Becker. We will use these reporter skills more frequently in prime time in 2023.”
The deposition of the regular “acts.” is a quite surprising move, after all, the ProSiebenSat.1 Group recently set up a news department for the news formats. why this former investigative format, which once convicted owners of child pornography or reported about cocaine in the Reichstag, is now being discontinued, so it doesn’t necessarily fit with the broadcasting group’s growing news focus. When “act.” will be shown for the first time in the new year has not yet been decided. The slot on Thursday evening is initially occupied by European mini-series.
