Wendy van Dijk admits that she currently has little to do with SBS 6 because all the attention is paid to live talk shows such as the Oranjezomer and today Inside. How to proceed? “Her profession dies.”
It has been noticeable for a while: Wendy van Dijk was once the face of great entertainment. At RTL 4 she presented the then prestigious The Voice of Holland for years, but nowadays she can be happy with a few shooting days for those of the three. How should the 54-year-old presenter continue? Does she lose her contract with SBS 6?
Bit of a pee
Wendy needs that she is currently not on a channel because of the success of the Oranjezomer and today Inside and that is what Telegraaf reporter Jordi Versteegden thought a bit for her.
He says in the podcast Strictly private: “Wendy van Dijk used to be someone who was on television every week with his own program. Of course there is also a generation of presenters, so the Wendy van Dijks of this world, who then no longer get to work.”
Mies Bouwman
Private boss Evert Santegoeds thinks it’s a shame for Wendy. “Yes, nobody was able to foresee that either. A Mies Bouwman could keep her career on in a very old age and after that she was still the queen of the television that then dashed somewhere.”
He continues: “But there are professions that die out and that is also the presenter of the large family spell show. You will no longer be nowadays.”
Voice shows
Jordi finds that annoying for Wendy. “A big change in Hilversum.”
The trend is clear, says Evert. He points out that even the live shows of The Voice of Holland disappear. “I think that’s a shame. I remember bet that a program was only fun if it was live and if you could be there if things went wrong and stuff. That is the tension of the program.”
He concludes: “If you are no longer going to broadcast Max Verstappen live, then it will also be laps on the asphalt and the tension is gone.”
