Kerner was a television program named after its presenter Johannes B. Kerner in the genre talk show and television magazine . It was broadcast for the first time on November 2, 2009 on Sat.1. With the show, Kerner returned to private television after more than eleven years with the public broadcaster ZDF . The show was produced by Spiegel TV Infotainment and JBK TV-Production. With the last issue on December 15, 2011, the program was discontinued due to poor ratings.

broadcast

The program was broadcast once a week on Thursdays from 10:15 p.m. The first three episodes were broadcast on Mondays. The show focused on people and their stories; Kerner was a mixture of talk and service topics. Reports and events from current affairs were also presented. Studio actions also provided an entertaining accent.

Kerner - the topic

In August 2010 it was announced that Sat.1 and Johannes B. Kerner would broadcast another program on Tuesday evening at 11:15 p.m. after the file from September 21st. Unlike the issue on Thursday, this program was called “Kerner - The Topic” and therefore only dealt with one fixed topic. The project was limited to two editions and was broadcast live.

Kerner special

On December 16, 2010, Johannes B. Kerner wrote a special issue from Afghanistan and talked to u. a. Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg on the German participation in the war in Afghanistan . The audience ratings were below the channel average for Sat.1. Only 750,000 viewers between 14 and 49 years and a little more than 1 million of all ages were reached, this is partly due to the poor opening program, which made a good lead-in impossible.

Where's Sven?

The search campaign actually planned from August 12, 2010 to September 2, 2010 Where is Sven? was ended prematurely on Sunday, August 15, 2010 by the "Kerner" viewer Timm Schweitzer. In the planned 3 weeks, Johannes B. Kerner wanted to draw attention to how insecure our data is from the Internet and smartphones and this through the self-described “Experiment of the Year”. Where is Sven? illustrate. The aim of the experiment was for Kerner editor Sven Jachmann to travel unrecognized through Germany for three weeks, even though he publishes photos with his whereabouts and digital traces every day in the form of a phone call, a cash withdrawal or a credit card payment on the Internet. A time delay of one hour from the creation and publication of a notice was always observed, which was supposed to simulate the time of a so-called hack, which one needed to obtain data illegally. The experiment should end immediately if Sven Jachmann was addressed with the words “You are Sven!”, What scenario it was on August 15 at 11:40 am, only 61 hours and 37 minutes after the search began, in a gas station at Solms Castle too. As an incentive, 10,000 euros were offered. However, play came more and more to the fore, as additional puzzles with the destination of the day and video messages from Sven Jachmann to his pursuers were published. In the end, the experiment was well received by the audience. Many people occupied themselves with the virtual search for Sven in just under two and a half days.

reception

The first broadcast on November 2, 2009 received mostly negative criticism from the media. Die Welt described the premiere broadcast in its online edition as a copy of Stern TV , which "worked out quite well". Kerner did not do himself a favor by inviting Mario Barth .

Spiegel Online reported a mild rate. With 1.83 million viewers and a market share of 6.5 percent, the show fell short of Sat.1's expectations. Spiegel online described the program as a “crude mixture of 'stern TV', 'ZDF reporter', 'RTL Extra', 'X-Files' and 'Bible TV'” and summed up: “In footballer language one would say: fight against The relegation to the second division. ”The specialist newspaper Horizont also responded to the low rate , but pointed out that Kerner had strong competition with Bauer sucht Frau (RTL) and the film“ In the order of the devil ”( ProSieben ) .

The Focus described Kerner's new show as “whiter, more congested and more paranormal than the old one” and, looking ahead to the next show, raised the question: “And what about the quality of the tabloid magazines on German television?”

The show had made headlines even before it was first broadcast. The Süddeutsche Zeitung had discussed Kerner's lavish salary at the private broadcaster.

Thomas Lückenrath from DWDL.de criticized Kerner as follows: “After the unsuccessful start, however, the claim and reality very quickly went separate ways. After changing the broadcast slot to Thursday in his first year, Kerner magazine made the headlines too seldom with topics; was noticed. Or to put it another way: It simply lacked relevance. And even if an edition of the program offered exactly that, it was no longer perceived as such by the viewer. That shouldn't be surprising, but it obviously has. Because instead of staying on course - whatever - pretty much everything was tried. Unfortunately, various experiments accelerated the insignificance: Quiz show elements neither help to sharpen the journalistic profile, nor do they make headlines. "
