Sport1 launches new football magazine show
Sport1 will launch a live football magazine, “45 – Die Fußball-Halbzeit auf Sport1”, on 1 September 2026. The 45-minute programme will air Tuesdays and Thursdays at 19:30 from the #mittendrin studio in Ismaning, replacing the previous evening slot. The format will emphasise original topics, interviews and reportages — focusing on the Bundesliga, Champions League, international top clubs and the national team — rather than extended match reports, for which the channel lacks live rights. The show will be hosted in rotation by Sophie Affeldt, Anna Dollak and Madeleine Etti. Andreas Gerhardt, Sport1’s Chief Content & Distribution Officer, framed the relaunch as an editorial and visual repositioning following recent strategic uncertainty after the entry of Turkish production company Acunmedya.
A broadcaster programming change that may affect linear TV scheduling and ad inventory locally; relevant to media buyers and broadcasters but limited industry-wide impact.
