A new wind at Studio 2”: Verena Hartlieb takes over as moderation!

“Studio 2” starts on January 7, 2025 with a fresh concept and a new presenter: Verena Hartlieb. The popular ORF evening show not only shines in new splendor from a modern studio, but also appears in a new light with Hartlieb alongside Norbert Oberhauser and Martin Ferdiny. Johannes Bruckenberger, editor-in-chief of the ORF newsroom, is pleased with the decision to join Hartlieb: “The step in front of the camera was only natural for her after winning the casting,” says Bruckenberger, who sees the new moderation as an enrichment. Hartlieb herself shares her excitement: “After many years as a contributor, I’m really looking forward to being able to present the show that I appreciate and love.”

The creation of Studio 2

“Studio 2” has had a permanent place in the ORF program since its debut on January 7, 2019. The show, which airs Monday to Friday at 5:30 p.m., has established itself as an important magazine that combines information, entertainment and service. The lively exchange with studio guests and the interactive part in which viewers can win prizes make the program stand out. How Wikipedia reports, the range of topics ranges from current social issues to health, culture and cooking, which appeals to a broad target group. The concept is particularly designed to delight both older and younger viewers.

Filming takes place in an original studio in Vienna, which includes a cozy living room and an inviting kitchen - the perfect background for the various sections of the show. With the changes in moderators, Hartlieb provides a breath of fresh air, while viewers can look forward to a variety of topics and exciting interviews. Fans of the format can be excited to see how the combination of long experience and new blood in moderation will affect the show.
