Art Rooijakkers has only just started as the face of the right-wing TV journal on SBS 6 or he will again fall out with voice problems. “It is time for a medical examination in the TV world.”
It is a financial loss for SBS 6 that Art Rooijakkers is so soon after the entrance of his television contract because he has to be under the knife because of problems with his vocal cords. He is expected to be about half a year, so the channel has to look for someone else who can present news of the day.
Medical examination
Manuel Venderbos, presenter of Shownieuws, finds it annoying for art. “It is silly if you just start with a new job that you have to say to your employer:” Guys, I have a four -year contract, but I’m not there now. ” It’s force majeure, but … “, he says in the AD Media Podcast.
Angela de Jong then says: “Do you know what to think about? How things are going in football. Footballers must first go through a medical examination, right? You would almost think that it should be that way in the television world, isn’t it? ”
Do not ski
If the vocal cords of Art were checked just before the entrance of his contract, that SBS 6 could have saved a lot of money. “You are not allowed to ski there either,, in the football world,” says media journalist Dennis Jansen.
Angela: “It’s a shame. An ordinary person can no longer ski. It is really ridiculously expensive, I saw. “
Manuel: “But you had to think for someone else’s replacement for a doctor?”
Maarten Steendam
Angela nominates Maarten Steendam, the presenter of Hart van Nederland. “I thought of Maarten Steendam. All the time. He comes from De Telegraaf, so I think it understands exactly what the tone should be of that program. “
Manuel: “I thought of Thomas van Groningen. He comes from WNL and of course also did on1. “
Dennis: “Didn’t you think about yourself?”
Manuel: “I think it would be fun, but I don’t feel like being mentioned all the time, just like with HLF8 and then get a baking sail. Do you see me doing it? ”
Manuel an option?
Angela also finds Manuel an option. “Yes, I see you doing it. Anyway, I understood that they prefer that presenters of Hart van Nederland and the like – I don’t know if Shownieuws is also included – keep a kind of neutrality. ”
She continues: “That’s why I don’t see Maarten being 1, 2, 3 and not Thomas either. He should also confess a little more color there as a presenter. He can no longer be the fairly neutral reporter. “
Personal drama
That doesn’t apply to him, Manuel says. “That is certainly not the case with Shownieuws. There they want you to give your opinion too. “
Dennis: “For a moment: it is a personal drama for that boy, for that art. That man. Last time he talked about not reading his daughter. You would say: it is nice not to be able to talk, but this is a drama. ”
Finally, Angela: “I also think the fact that it is not the first time, that it has come back, that you make you insecure. Not being able to talk to your children and wife also seems terrible. “
