Germany’s news program Tagesschau has officially dropped its traditional greeting ‘Guten Abend, meine Damen und Herren’ in favor of a more succinct ‘Guten Abend, ich begrüße Sie zur Tagesschau.’ This change, aimed at modernizing the program’s tone, follows viewer feedback indicating the old greeting felt outdated. Despite the alteration, Tagesschau remains the most-watched news program in Germany, with some media outlets considering the decision a trivial shift in a long-standing format.
