ARD should cancel popular formats

Germany is out, but the World Cup continues – and with it the changes in the program. Viewers should tune in to these shows today.

This time the FIFA Women’s World Cup will be held in Australia and New Zealand. It all started on July 20 in Auckland. A total of 64 matches will be played before the winners are crowned at Sydney Stadium on August 20.

For Germany, the dream of winning a major title came to an end after only two weeks. On August 3, the German national team was eliminated after a 1-1 draw against South Korea. However, the end of the FIFA World Cup does not mean the end of the World Cup. ARD and ZDF will continue to show the games.

Only one match scheduled for Wednesday: Australia vs. England. The game will be shown on ARD. Reporting begins at 11:20 am. Kick-off after 40 minutes.

• 12 noon: Australia – England

In order to be able to show and report on the game on television, the ARD had to remove several formats from the program. Popular programs such as “Gefraget – Gejagt” and “ARD-Buffet” cannot be shown due to the World Cup.

• 11.15 a.m.: “asked – chased”
• 12.15pm: “ARD Buffet”
• 1 p.m.: “Lunch Journal” (can be seen on ZDF)

At 2:20 p.m., ZDF finishes the report. Then it continues with the usual programme. Rote Rosen will not cancel, but it will start ten minutes later than usual. Viewers don’t have to do without “Love Storm,” either. In the coming days, the public expects only a few changes in the program. Games are held on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays only.

The Grand Final will be shown on August 20 at 12 noon. So far Spain has reached the final. Whether the team plays against Australia or England on Sunday will be decided on Wednesday afternoon.
