The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.

The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.

RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.
How will the new teams share airtime?
The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.

The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.

The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.

The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.

The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.

The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.

The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.

The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.

RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.
How will the new teams share airtime?
The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.

RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.
How will the new teams share airtime?
The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.

RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.
How will the new teams share airtime?
The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.

RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.

RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.

The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.

Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.
How will the new teams share airtime?
The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.

The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.

The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.

The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.

The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.

The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.

RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.

The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.

Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.
How will the new teams share airtime?
The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
RTL will replace its long-standing single-host format for „Punkt 12“ with two fixed presenting teams starting in May, ending a months-long trial that tested whether dual hosting could inject more energy into Germany’s most-watched midday magazine.
The change pairs veteran host Katja Burkard, 61, with Bernd Fuchs, 53, as one team, while Angela Finger-Erben, 46, and Daniel Fischer, 49, form the second duo, alternating weeks on air. Sabrina Ilski, 38, remains part of the extended presenting team.
RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.

RTL executives say the trial proved that fixed duos strengthen the show’s structure, add perspectives and deliver noticeable more dynamism across the three-hour live broadcast while preserving reliability and closeness to viewers.
Burkard has anchored „Punkt 12“ since April 1997, after first standing in for the show in June 1996. Fuchs has worked for RTL since 1997 and began co-hosting the programme in a trial role in 2021 before joining the fixed team in 2025.
Finger-Erben has been on camera for RTL since 2006 and currently co-hosts „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Die Stunde danach,“ while also contributing to „Guten Morgen Deutschland“ and the „Punkt 6/7/8“ bulletins since 2009. Fischer joined RTL in 2022.
The shift mirrors RTL’s existing use of fixed presenting pairs in programmes such as „Deutschland am Morgen“ and „RTL Aktuell,“ where the goal is to build recognition and structural consistency through familiar pairings.
Why did RTL decide to make the change permanent after testing?
RTL’s management said the multi-month trial showed that fixed duos improve the show’s flow, offer additional viewpoints and create a more lively atmosphere without sacrificing the reliability that viewers associate with the programme.
How will the new teams share airtime?
The two duos will alternate weeks, with Burkard and Fuchs hosting one week and Finger-Erben and Fischer the next, ensuring both teams appear regularly while maintaining a predictable rhythm for the audience.
