In 1992 he completed his first Vienna-today moderation and in February 1999 was promoted to editor- in- chief at the Landesstudio Vienna. After appearing as the presenter of the show from 1992 to 2002, he then concentrated mainly on his work as editor-in-chief and was increasingly employed behind the scenes and from 2004 as a political interviewer, which he has remained to this day. From 2008 to July 2020, he also moderated the program Wien-heute again for one week per month - alternating with three colleagues ( Patrick Budgen , Ulrike Dobeš and Elisabeth Vogel ) .

At the end of Michael Häupl's 23-year term in office as Mayor and Governor of Vienna, Tesarek, who had seen Häupl's entire term in office from a journalistic point of view, published the biography " I am Mayor and not God: The ups and downs of the Michael Häupl era in Vienna" . Towards the end of his career, this closes the circle between his journalistic activities and his studies mentioned above.
