Press outlets are transformed by technology. - Anne Will speaks again, this time appearing as a visitor.
Around six months after stepping away from the political spotlight, Anne Will, a popular television personality, is set to make a return to the small screen as a guest on a talk show. The producers for the Radio Bremen program "3nach9" made the announcement on Thursday. Additionally, they teased that Will has intentions of returning to her journalist roots with a new project. The show will delve into topics like Will's choice to become a stronger journalist, the impact of her late mentor, Juliane Bartel, and her preferred nickname.
Over the course of 16 years, Will has interviewed well over a thousand guests, and her former talk shows routinely attracted upwards of four million viewers. In early December 2023, she wrapped up her talk show on Sunday evenings with a whopping 553 episodes. Just a few months later, in April 2024, she launched "Politics with Anne Will", a weekly series that serves as a podcast.
While Caren Miosga took over Will's time slot at the end of January, also hosting a talk show named after herself, Miosga hasn't encountered any direct competition yet. Since her debut, she's shared airtime with other talk show hosts, including Maybrit Illner, Markus Lanz, Sandra Maischberger, and Louis Klamroth. Despite this, none of these individuals currently air their respective shows at the same time as Miosga's.
On Friday at 10:30 pm on NDR television, Rakers and di Lorenzo, the hosts of "3nach9", will welcome a selection of guests. These include Dirk Steffens, a science journalist, Sophie von der Tann, a journalist, Dirk Martens, an actor, Ann-Kathrin "Affe" Bendixen, a motorcycle traveler, and Jean-Marie Pfaff, a former football goalkeeper.
