First Max Uthoff met, now Bernhard Hoëcker: ARD and ZDF’s image bearer are not allowed to support any party in the election campaign. Or you have to live with it to disappear from the screen until you choose.
The cult set “Hoëcker” known from the TV show “Switch”, they are out! ” It is currently up to date for the comedystar: Because comedian Bernhard Hoëcker operated election advertising in a social media spot, the ARD has the show “Who knows something like that?” With him from the program at short notice. Instead, the first resulted from “asked, hunted”.
According to dpa information, the ARD bumped into a spot on social media in which Hoëcker had supported the Greens. The 54-year-old Bonn is team captain at “Who knows something like that?”. Several media reported on the program change, including the industry service DWDL.de. According to the ARD regulations, “program-defining personalities” who participate in the election campaign may not appear in the program in the last six weeks before an election, nor do the screen or micro period.
When asked DPA, Hoëcker had a letter said: “I took part in an initiative of children’s book authors who want to focus more on children and family topics. It was not mine that was called up at the end of the clip for the choice of a specific party Intention.”
A week and a half ago, for the same reason, the moderator and cabaret artist Max Uthoff (57) was not allowed to appear in the ZDF program “Die Anstalt”. He had made party advertising for the party Die Linke. The ZDF has a set of rules that is more or less identical to the consequences.
