Overview
- The midday show launched its reworked quartet Monday, with Katja Burkard back on air alongside Angela Finger‑Erben, Daniel Fischer and Bernd Fuchs.
- Producers split the hosts into two fixed pairings, matching Burkard with Bernd Fuchs and Finger‑Erben with Daniel Fischer.
- Finger‑Erben had already made an unplanned debut the week prior when she filled in for a sick Burkard, then marked the smooth first show with a glass of Crémant at home.
- Burkard praised her colleague as a natural fit and said Punkt 12 needs presenters who can flip between serious news and lighter features across a three‑hour block.
- Both presenters described the change as a steady refresh, with Burkard signaling she intends to host for years and calling Finger‑Erben a likely successor one day.
