maischberger. die woche

“maischberger. die woche ” is the new ARD talk format that has been replacing the classic “maischberger” discussions on Wednesday night (10.50 p.m.) since October 2019.

The new format breaks away from the monothematic bracket and on Wednesday, literally in the middle of the weekly events, deals with the political and social issues that move people in different talk constellations. The selection of topics is based on the events and debates of the current week.

“maischberger. die woche” follows a dramaturgy with different conversation situations: discussion panel, one-on-one interview, moderated duel.

This redesign of the show was received positively by both viewers and critics: the German media magazine DWDL.de, for example, praised the format change and voted presenter Sandra Maischberger among the eleven most influential television producers of 2019.
