concept
Neuneinhalb prepares current, political, economic and social information in an understandable and entertaining way. In the center of each program, a topic that attracts attention in the respective week is dealt with in depth. As a rule, these are reports that are supplemented in explanatory parts by virtual studio technology, staged pieces and a modern, collage-like design language in images and sound, and which characterize the format.
Originally, news reports from the Tagesschau were used as the basis. An excerpt from the adult news was shown and interrupted with the help of virtual technology. The presenter went into the paused picture and asked what she did not understand in the message or what it even means. But the range of topics was increasingly widespread and daily news was pushed into the background.
In the case of far-reaching events such as the tsunami in Japan, a program similar to the hot spot is currently being produced under the label nine and a half . The name of the program "nine and a half" is based on the length of the program. The show is moderated alternately by Siham El-Maimouni , Robert Meyer , Jana Forkel and Mona Ameziane . Gesa Dankwerth moderated the show until the beginning of 2008 and was represented by Anja Backhaus . In the past, the moderators included Malin Büttner (March 2008 to December 2016) and Johannes Büchs (May 2009 to October 2017).
