Looks a bit too virtual for my liking. A good virtual set should look real - this doesn't.


That's ironic - given that it looks to be entirely real from the screen shots. Unless they've art worked in a virtual screen, it looks as if they are going with a decent quality fine-pitch LED wall (or something of a similar function)?

It's also been confirmed today that the voiceover introducing Tagesschau will be female, for the first time.


The new voiceover is done by Angelina Jolie’s German dubbing artist Claudia Urbschat-Mingues.

This is the oldest surviving almost-complete edition of Tagesschau -- from 1960:

Is this a genuine clip of the new intro sequence?

Well the first shot of the lovely Judith is clearly an image.

It does look like a mock, doesn't it?

Well the music is just far too funky, plus the first shot of Judith is different to the second, watch here cleavage and the bottom of her hair.

Here is a report about the new-look Tagesschau from NDR, the ARD broadcaster serving the north of Germany (specifically from their local newscast for Hamburg, the city where Tagesschau is produced):

Yeah, I'm always sure that it's a fake now. (I'm also relieved.)

Sorry for the false alarm.

I don't know why you'd write it off on that basis... if it's a new title sequence then surely it's possible they're going to use placeholders until it starts being used on air?

True, but the whole thing gives off the vibe of a hastily produced mock. I expect the new intro to be more elegant and sophisticated than that.
