VOX puts an end to graz episode: respect for amoclauf in Austria

The shocking events of June 10, when a killing spree at a school in Graz brought tragic consequences, now also influence the program of the Cologne TV station VOX. Ten people were killed in this act of violence, including nine young people and a teacher. Eleven other people were injured, some of them seriously. The entire case also ensures great dismay in the media and attracts numerous programs. In order to show respect for the victims and their relatives, the broadcaster has removed the episodes of "The Perfect Dinner" originally scheduled for the end of June. This reports ksta.de.

The graz episodes of the cooking show, which originally be broadcast from June 30th to July 4th, are now on the brink. A spokeswoman for VOX confirmed that the already completed production of the Graz consequences will be made up for a later date. The decision to change the program is not only surprising, but also as a clear reaction to the tragic circumstances that Austria fulfilled. A new broadcast date has not yet been determined, but the cooking show will continue to be broadcast from Monday to Friday at 7 p.m.

New content from Flensburg

Instead of the graz episodes, VOX will radiate episodes from Flensburg, in which the candidates Jan, Nele, Frank, Sandra and Kim demonstrate their culinary skills. From June 30th, these programs will flicker from the screens and still look forward to the audience. In the upcoming week from June 16 to 20, the format continues in Bonn, where the candidate Niklas already caused a sensation with an ambitious menu. He accompanied the first episode with a lot of praise from his colleagues.

The decision underlines the great responsibility that television channels bear at such times. Other large channels have also adapted their program and prepared special programs. So the first sends a focal point to the crime, while the ZDF radiates a "ZDF Special" entitled "AMOSLauf in Graz". RTL also offers a special format that deals with the events. This shows how strongly the killing spree has touched society and what waves it does.

The diverse program changes raise awareness of the events in Graz. The numerous affected people and the uncertain future for many victims and their relatives are in the foreground. The industry thus shows that even in difficult times it has a feel for what is currently important and shows a good hand for suitable reactions.
