ARD has chosen two new faces who will present the highlights of the 2nd Bundesliga in the “Sportschau”. The first edition of the show runs on July 23rd.
The ARD has two new moderators for the “Sportschau”. Lea Wagner and Tobias Schäfer present the new Friday edition of the TV classic on the special interest broadcaster One. This was confirmed by WDR sports director Steffen Simon. The first edition runs on July 23.
The 26-year-old Wagner comes from the WDR and will also host the ski jumping broadcasts on the first from the next winter sports season.
The 41-year-old shepherd already works for the WDR as a radio presenter and in the ARD morning magazine. Most recently he did a daily podcast together with Christian Schulze during the European Football Championship.
The offshoot of the “Sportschau” will show summaries of the 2nd Bundesliga from 10.30 p.m. at the beginning of the 2021/22 season. When the German Football League sold the media rights in the summer of last year, ARD secured the corresponding rights package.
This includes second division highlights on Friday between 10.30pm and midnight and on Sunday between 6.45pm and 9.15pm. In addition, the ARD is allowed to show pictures from the 2nd division in the “Sportschau” on Saturday as well as the 1st division.
