RTL has announced that it will bring “tower jumping” back to TV. Many viewers may still know that from TVTotal with Stefan Raab. He’s there too.
RTL has announced its program offensive. There’s a lot of retro involved, because not only is “The price is hot” reissued, but also “The 100,000 Mark Show” with Ulla Kock am Brink. As a special show event, the “high jump” should have stayed in the memory of many. When Stefan Raab was still moderating TVTotal at ProSieben, there were regular individual events such as the “Autoball World Cup” or “Tower diving.” That wasn’t so long ago and now RTL is bringing back diving with Raab as the show’s producer. One wanted “bring the format into our time and make it RTLig,” says RTL Managing Director Tewes.
In addition, the restart “Viva la Diva” will follow in the summer. Eight prominent men are to transform themselves into drag queens and a prominent panel has to guess who is behind which queen. But RTL also presented some new material for the coming weeks and months.
So in April there will be a quiz duel between “Jauch and Sigl”. The show is a new edition of “5 against Jauch” and is to be moderated by Oliver Pocher. Günther Jauch meets “Bergdoktor” actor Hans Sigl in two rounds of the game. The “live betting show” “I bet on you”, moderated by Guido Cantz, is also to follow in the summer. RTL promises “special talents, bets and a prominent jury” to ensure “the best family entertainment”. Family entertainment is also said to be provided by “The Great IQ Test,” which is described as an “interactive show” in which “celebrities as well as viewers can test their intelligence at home.”
The RTL live stream is available from the RTL+ streaming service from EUR 4.99
RTL: “Balko” is coming back as a film
It was already known that “Balko Tenerife” will be broadcast for the first time on March 24th. The 90-minute is a new edition of the former RTL series “Balko”. Ludger Pistor and Jochen Horst slip into their old roles of Krapp and Balko. “Operation in the Alps” follows a week later. The film, which stars Jochen Matschke (“Munich Murder”, “SOKO Munich”) and Peter Fieseler (“Großstadtrevier”, “Wilsberg”) in the leading roles, was originally announced under the working title “Border Crossers – Murder in the Alps”. . Matschke and Fieseler embody the dissimilar brothers Tom and Sebastian Falk, who work for the Innsbruck police’s alpine squad. And a third fiction project has also found a broadcast date. While “Der König von Palma” is already celebrating its premiere on Thursday, February 24th on the RTL+ streaming service, the free TV broadcaster is showing the six-part series with Henning Baum on April 15th, 18th and 19th in double episodes.
In April, RTL will then expand the “stern TV” station brand again and will show an additional Sunday edition of the magazine every week from April 24th. Recently, there has been criticism of the implementation of the format, which is produced by i&u TV on Wednesdays and starring Steffen Hallaschka, but is implemented by RTL itself on Sundays.
