(dpa) – The ProSieben team said goodbye emotionally to the viewers during the last broadcast of the National Football League on the station. At the end of the show from the 57th Super Bowl, reporter Christoph “Icke” Dommisch caught his voice with tears before addressing the audience again. “It’s been eight really wonderful, wonderful, wonderful years. Football goes on, enjoy this sport,” said Dommisch on Monday morning. “Many people have changed my life by watching this show, by doing this show.”
The ProSiebenSat.1 group took over the reporting from the National Football League in 2012 and initially broadcast the Super Bowl on Sat.1. ProSieben and ProSieben Maxx then showed the NFL. Last year, the RTL Group surprisingly secured an extensive NFL rights package for the coming season.
“I also wanted to thank you again for the last eight years. You guys out there have changed my life,” said expert Patrick Esume to viewers via Instagram right after the end of the broadcast. “Television career is over, but it’s not bad. See you in the European League of Football.” Esume is a Commissioner in the European League.
“It was the best TV time I’ve ever had,” said long-time football expert Jan Stecker on the show before saying goodbye and turned to the team. “I want to add that I genuinely love you guys, every single one who worked on this show.”
