Hardly anyone believes it to be a coincidence: SRF temporarily canceled the interactive program “Zäme dihei” with Nik Hartmann (47), which is scheduled for tonight, and instead clicks on the 40th anniversary of “Do you understand fun?” a. This causes astonishment internally at the Leutschenbach. The change will take place in the same week that Hartmann announced its move to the competition. At first, SRF announced that it would show programs that would strengthen cohesion on Saturday evening during the Corona crisis. That is now the end. Instead of “Zäme dihei” it is now called “Dihei bei Paola” – Kurt Felix’s wife (1941–2012) becomes live from St. Gallen “Do you understand fun?” switched on.

“The fact that ‘Zäme dihei’ is no longer relevant has to do with the reactions of our audience,” explains a SRF spokeswoman. “The longer, the more that the need for normal programming grows.” Skype formats currently have a short lifespan at home and abroad and would be removed from the program after a few editions. “We always reserved the right to make short-term adjustments.”

Hartmann’s corona show was successful
The rapid change is surprising, because Hartmann showed his talent as a talker in the format. No wonder, “Zäme dihei” reached well over 600,000 viewers in the first edition. Issue two also showed that there is still a need for cooperation, in which Zug was absent for once. It still got a good 400,000 spectators.

Did Hartmann’s departure fuel the broadcaster at short notice to change his plans? There is no question of that, SRF declares. They are pleased that Hartmann can still be seen at “SRF bi de Lüt – Wunderland Spezial” from the end of May and on Saturday evening on June 6th. “Do you understand fun?” with Paola Felix can now be shown on the first channel as originally planned. “We want to fulfill the wishes of many viewers.”

There is no doubt that the latter is true. Millions are happy with Paola. “It fills me with great joy and gratitude that I can be part of this program,” says the ex-hit star, who moderated the show from 1983 to 1990. «The show is actually Kurt’s TV kid. For me it’s like coming home. »
