Growing up in a traditional format of sport: ARD apparently guides the soccer specialist Alex Schlüter to the sports show.
It is still the flagship of public sports reporting: the sports show. Now the traditional format should get a new moderator. According to this, the ARD is said to have recruited the football expert Alex Schlüter from streaming provider Amazon Prime Video, reports the “Sport Bild”.
The 40-year-old Schlüter has only reported for Prime Video since this season, primarily of the Champions League. Before that, he worked for the Pay TV giant DAZN for eight years, also there in the area of the broadcaster’s football reporting. At the ARD sports show, Schlüter is said to complement the existing team with Alexander Bommes.
As the “Sport Bild” reports, Bommes wants to concentrate more on its function in the entertainment formats of the public broadcaster in the future. So far, the 49-year-old moderated football top games, handball games and Olympic Games. Schlüter could now come into this gap with his expertise.
Next to him, the two moderators Esther Sedlaczek and Lea Wagner, daughter of the former Premier League coach David Wagner, have long-term contracts until 2029. While Sedlaczek reports top games and the men’s football team, Wagner is currently being used in ski jumping and football women. In summer, for example, she should report from the DFB women’s quarters during the 2025 European Championship in Switzerland.
Schlüter’s last effort in football was the semi-final second leg between Inter Milan and FC Barcelona (4: 3 n. B.) in the Champions League in early May. He is to strengthen the team around Bommes after the Wimbledon tennis tournament, which takes place in June. The sporting expert moderates the Rasmurnier for his old employer Prime Video before switching to ARD in late summer.
