The Checker is a television program that was produced by MotorVision Film- und Fernsehproduktion GmbH on behalf of the television broadcaster DMAX until 2009 and has been one of the broadcaster's most successful programs ever since. The title character was Alexander Wesselsky up to and including season 8 (2010) . After the broadcaster fell out with the main actor “Checker Alexander Wesselsky”, the line-up was inevitably changed in 2011 with a new concept: In the ninth season, Wesselsky was replaced by three new “Checkers” who are traveling with the American taxi model of the same name, Checker Cab . From the original moderator duo, Lina van de Mars remained , who from 2011 will head the “Checker Team”. Since September 17, 2014, the episodes have been broadcast with the “Original Checker” Alexander Wesselsky on the free-to-air Swiss television station 5+ during prime time.
