It is starting to seem more and more that Art Rooijakkers follows in the footsteps of former colleague Malou Petter and also leaves as a presenter of News of the Day. “There is a crisis at Talpa.”
Malou Petter left as a presenter of News of the Day. She would find the program too bad rights and find it too bad to lean on the conservative journalist Wierd Duk, and with her Talpa dismissal she hopes to save her TV. But Art Rooijakkers also comes from a progressive nest. Do we also see him leave at the SBS 6 section?
Where is Art?
The rumors are becoming increasingly stubborn. TV critic Victor Vlam has people who work behind the scenes. “Today I was watching news of the day and I noticed that Thomas van Groningen presented that. He has been doing that for four days in a row and at the end of the broadcast he said he is there tomorrow. I find that remarkable.”
He continues in The Oranjezomer: “I called around there and it seems that the problems are not yet completely over with the program. Malou Petter has of course left last Monday as a presenter and art has not been seen since that time. I dare to say that he is simply, yes, a kind of mutiny.”
Mutiny
In what sense is the mutiny? “Well, that he has his position in any case,” said Victor. “That he did not appear on the screen because he does not know if he will actually come back there. I called around this afternoon to just ask: when will art come back?”
“And all the people who can know say,” Yes, we can’t say anything about that, that is all difficult. ” Well, the schedule of the presenters is normally not something that is a state secret, so the fact that everyone is difficult to do is an indication that something is going on. ”
In one week
It really seems that art takes the legs, Victor concludes. “That could mean that there may be two faces with the program in about a week. That is at least something that ART seems to be considering at the moment. That is remarkable news of course.”
Tina Nijkamp is now also coming with a fairly alarming Instagram Story. “Art does indeed seem to be leaving news of the day. Victor Vlam alluded to the Oranjezomer yesterday. He completely leaves Talpa or has he stipulated that he is being used for other shows? In connection with lucrative contract that he will lose otherwise?”
Lump sum
It is just as exciting who took the initiative for that possible news of the day room, according to Tina. “Does he get a lump sum payment? I don’t know. Negotiations still seem to be busy with that.”
“Today there will be a press release about the outcome. Talpa does not respond to anything. Manager not, actually nobody. There is an art crisis.”
