Key takeaways
- Andy Borg's "Schlager-Spaß" will move production to Mahlberg in 2027 with Kimmig Entertainment.
- Stefan Mross's "Immer wieder sonntags" has concluded after 30 years of broadcasting.
- The SWR is outsourcing production of "Schlager-Spaß" to optimize resources and reduce studio space.
- An emotional moment captured during a "Schlager-Spaß" taping was a staged reaction to the cancellation of Mross's show.
What Happened
The television show "Schlager-Spaß mit Andy Borg" is set to change its production arrangements starting in 2027. The SWR (Südwestrundfunk) has announced that the show will be produced in cooperation with Kimmig Entertainment in a hall rented from Europa-Park in Mahlberg. This move is part of the SWR's strategy to outsource certain television formats to external production companies and reduce its own studio space.
Previously, the show was recorded on July 25th, 2026, at Europa-Park Rust. An incident during the taping where Stefan Mross appeared emotional was later explained as a staged reaction to the news that his own show, "Immer wieder sonntags," would be cancelled. A planned birthday tribute to Stefanie Hertel during Borg's show was also not broadcast because her birthday had passed three weeks prior to the airing.
Why It Matters
The SWR's decision to outsource production of "Schlager-Spaß mit Andy Borg" is aimed at more flexible resource management and reduction of internal studio capacity. The station assures that the move is intended to preserve the show's character and that the quality for viewers will remain unchanged. This contrasts with Stefan Mross's show, "Immer wieder sonntags," which concluded its 30-year run at the end of the 2026 season due to financial and strategic reasons.
Background
Stefan Mross's long-running Volksmusik and Schlager program, "Immer wieder sonntags," which typically aired from Europa-Park Rust, ended after the 2026 season. The SWR decided to cease its in-house production of several entertainment formats. "Schlager-Spaß mit Andy Borg" has been produced in the SWR studios in Baden-Baden until the end of 2026 before its relocation.
