Overview
- SWR announced the decision to end the decades‑old Sunday entertainment show for economic reasons, and the broadcaster calls the move a “painful decision” for its programming lineup.
- Stefan Mross is presenting a final season with a regular last episode set for 6 September and a televised “Best‑of” on 13 September as the show winds down.
- The regular Sunday edition will not air on 26 July because ARD is covering the multisport event Die Finals, and the Rust arena is reserved that weekend for another production.
- Andy Borg will record an open‑air special at the Europa‑Park arena on 25 July that will be broadcast by MDR and SWR on 8 August, with tickets from €27 and children admitted from age six.
- Peers in the schlager scene have publicly supported Mross—Andy Borg offered consolation and said fans would continue to back him—and industry reaction could help shape new projects for the host after the show's end.
