RTL 4 removes the enthusiastic spots from the tube in which viewers are called to register for The Voice of Holland. “They have been taken out of the schedule for the time being,” it sounds.
It was a bit uncomfortable last night: immediately after RTL Boulevard’s opening item about the terrible news that Suzan & Freek have heard – he is incurably ill – there was a very enthusiastic call for the Voice of Holland in the advertising block. The show in which Suzan & Freek would debut as a coach.
Bit painful
Tina Nijkamp immediately made this a point on her analysis channel. “Yes, of course it was still scheduled in the temporary employment schedules,” says the TV authority a day later in her podcast Tina’s TV UPDATE. “It was a bit painful because it was even in an advertising block from RTL Boulevard.”
“I think RTL does wise not to broadcast those calls for the time being. They must of course know that themselves, but I think they will actually do that. Because it was already planned, I think nobody thought about it, but I think she also thought it was not very desirable that it could be seen on television yesterday.”
RTL will stop
RTL let Tina know how to stop this. “RTL tells me that The Voice Promos have just been removed from the schedule for the time being.”
The recordings of The Voice would start in September. “Of course, Suzan and Freek have of course immediately stopped everything. How to continue with The Voice? Yes, I think RTL is not really busy with that. They are of course also shocked for this story and will have to let this news sink in first.”
Coming weeks
There will be no news from RTL for the time being, Tina suspects. “Yes, I think maybe there will be more clarity about that in the coming weeks, but I think they are not really working on that right now.”
The Voice should start in January. At the beginning of this week it turned out that the Ali B process will continue. Private boss Evert Santegoeds in the podcast Strictly private: “That program also does not return under a very good star. They have setback after setback.”
1, 2, 3
Evert expects The Voice to be delayed as a result. “They would sit on that duo chair and you don’t have another one for that 1, 2, 3. I believe that the recordings should start in July or something, so yes, that is also a big challenge for them, but I don’t believe that someone is doing that at the moment, because yes … the news is terrible.”
He concludes: “How it goes with The Voice … Yes, everyone is too paralyzed to say something about it at the moment.”
