History
Old logo

The show Anne Will replaced Sabine Christiansen. Günther Jauch, originally planned for Christiansen's successor, canceled after several months of negotiations because he was unable to meet ARD's demand for journalistic exclusivity. The directors of the state broadcasting corporations then agreed to make the broadcasting slot available to Anne Will. The first show with her was broadcast on September 16, 2007.[1]

On December 16, 2019, Anne Will fell out because of the possible chancellorship of Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (AKK).[2]
