Due to massive technical problems, the "Tagesschau" was canceled at 5 pm. Moderator Claus-Erich Boetzkes was sovereign.

The broadcast of the "Tagesschau" edition at 5:00 p.m. had to be canceled on December 29, 2020. This was due to a "massive technical problem", as moderator Claus-Erich Boetzkes (64) had to explain to the audience. The prepared contributions could not be played. After another attempt, which continued to cause problems, the broadcast was completely canceled. Boetzkes apologized for the mishap and put the audience off to the issue at 8:00 p.m.

Ridicule on social media

The demolition caused a lot of ridicule on social media. "Here is the first German television with the breakdown show", commented a Twitter user. Another user summarized appropriately: "Somehow it comes full circle. An unbelievably chaotic 5 pm 'Tagesschau' as almost the end of an unbelievably chaotic year."

Boetzkes' quite sovereign performance, however, received several praise. "The Boetzkes at the 'Tagesschau' deserves a medal", one user explained about. "But cool and confident mastered by the moderator", said another.
