Heck of a Situation in Cologne: Bomb Disposal and Program Changes Galore
Updated Broadcasting Schedule for Tomorrow - Wednesday's Agenda Update: Here's What's Planned Now
Here's the latest scoop for Wednesday in the buzzing city of Cologne. Ever since World War II, this city hasn't seen an evacuation this significant. Over 20,500 folks—residents, workers, you name it—living in the old town and Deutz will feel the brunt of this event. Broadcasters RTL and n-tv will have to adapt to the circumstances.
So, What's Changing on the Small Screen?
With the bomb disposal squad preparing to take care of three ancient bombies from World War II, the subsequent evacuation surely has the world (and our TV screens) buzzing. Aside from that excitement, viewers can chill and expect business as usual.
As a spokesperson for spot on news confirms, morning shows "Punkt 6" and "Punkt 7" will set up camp at the broadcast center in Cologne-Deutz, June 4th. However, "Punkt 8" will have a day off, with RTL swapping it out for a rerun of "Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten".
Come 08:00, the building will have seen its last employee. RTL's 4,500 crew members were told to soldier on from a mobile office. From June 4th, "Punkt 12", "RTL Aktuell", and the "RTL Nachtjournal" will air as scheduled, but broadcast live from the chic studios in Berlin. To maintain a seamless production flow, other shows will be pre-recorded. The spokesperson also mentioned that "n-tv's daily TV program will roll from Cologne-Ossendorf, starting at 08:00 instead of the usual 07:00."
The discoveries of three unexploded bombs in Cologne-Deutz on June 2 made headlines. Two 20-ton and one 10-ton bombs were unearthed during the survey work. Cologne has announced a radius of about 1,000 meters will be closed and evacuated on June 4 from 08:00. The city hopes the disposal team can do its job and make Wednesday a day to remember.

- Despite the ongoing bomb disposal situation in Cologne-Deutz, related to World War II, some television shows will still air as scheduled, with RTL's "Punkt 12", "RTL Aktuell", and "RTL Nachtjournal" broadcasting live from Berlin, while "n-tv's daily TV program" will move from its usual time to 08:00 instead, from Cologne-Ossendorf.
- In the midst of the politics surrounding the mandatory evacuation in Cologne due to the discovery of three unexploded bombs from World War II, the community policy is being mobilized to ensure the safety of residents, workers, and general news about the situation is being reported by channels like n-tv and RTL, including coverage of the bomb disposal services. War-and-conflicts and crime-and-justice updates may also be affected by this event.
