Anouk Smulders has not been seen behind the desk of Shownieuws for a while. Has she sent the avenue at the show section, for example due to cost savings? “Many changes.”

The Format of Shownieuws has recently been overthrowed: there have been all kinds of Dutch celebrities on the Desk who have been promoting trade lately, for example types such as Kees de Bever and Hans Klok. The conversations are often very boring, because they only come to turn their promotional street. But it saves money again.

Where is Anouk?

Such a guest requires fewer experts, and for example a Bram Moszkowicz, who recently complained that he is no longer so often on the desk. Someone else who has not been in the studio for a long time? Anouk Smulders. “Is she still at Shownieuws? Is she always there to explain fashion?”, Says Tina Nijkamp.

She continues in the podcast Tina’s TV UPDATE: “Yesterday, Tommy Driessen was there about the Med Gala. Yes, I don’t know so well. I put that question in the communication department at Talpa. I actually think they will give the answer of:” Yes, well, we also use other people. ” It will be something like that. “

On vacation

It is a mystery for Tina. “Perhaps she is on vacation, that is also possible. What strikes me is that Shownieuws is changing, so it would not surprise me if it is just true that she is no longer connected. Shownieuws has undergone a change for a few months, since two months.”

“They are putting more and more guests on the desk. Really a guest, so more talk show -like, that someone is coming to talk about a new CD or something else to promote. Often a movie or whatever. That’s new. Previously it was really just the experts who talk, but now very often a guest next door.”

No improvement

What does that do with the viewing figures of Shownieuws? “In terms of viewing figures, it doesn’t make it very much. Shownieuws keeps scoring in the target group. In the totals it is often below 400 thousand viewers, sometimes above it.”

“What do I think of that change? I don’t like it so much, all those guests who have something to promote. You only get promotional street, that’s why I never loved that, but good.”
