A flagship of Sat.1 is facing the biggest change in its long history: “Akte.” The TV classic is being given a new concept and will no longer be broadcast weekly in the future. Part of the innovations is also a change in front of the camera. The previous moderator Claudia von Brauchitsch says goodbye.

Akte has been running on Sat.1 since 1995 – half an eternity in the fast-paced world of television. After almost 30 years, Sat.1 is now turning the TV classic upside down.

No more fixed slot: Sat.1 rebuilds “Akte”.

Perhaps the biggest innovation: one Akte will no longer have a fixed slot in the future. So far, the reporter magazine, which was moderated by Ulrich Meyer until 2016, ran once a week. Most recently, Sat.1 viewers could look forward to the show on Thursday evening. This will no longer be the case in the future (source: DWDL).

According to Sat.1 spokesman Christoph Körfer, Akte will also run regularly in prime time in 2023, for example with investigative reports like last year about the butcher Tönnies. In addition, there should always be special editions at prime time and in Late Prime. “But not week after week anymore.”

Means: File becomes a variable format that should run on given occasions. The exclusive interview with Boris Becker, who was released from prison, showed what that can look like.

his The current slot on Thursday evening, however, loses Akte to thrillers. This week starts a production from France with “Biarritz”.

New moderator is an old friend

There is also something new in front of the camera. Claudia von Brauchitsch, who has moderated the format since 2019 as the successor to Claus Strunz, says goodbye. you follow Matthew Killing, which Sat.1 viewers already know from shows like “ran” or “The Biggest Loser”. Killing is no stranger: since 2018 he has regularly represented the camera. Despite the innovations, there is also some continuity.
