The ARD has decided to cancel the long-running musical program "Immer wieder sonntags" due to cost-cutting measures and a desire to attract younger viewers.
The popular ARD television show "Immer wieder sonntags" will be taken off the air after nearly 30 years of broadcasting, with the final episodes scheduled for 2026. The show, which has been moderated by Stefan Mross for years, has become a staple in German folk music culture. The decision to end the show was confirmed by SWR, the broadcaster responsible for the program, citing budgetary constraints and a strategic shift toward digital content and younger audiences.
