“Hard but fair” moderator Frank Plasberg is out for weeks

Frank Plasberg has been the host of his ARD talk show “Hart aber fair” for weeks. The background is health problems, the ARD announced on Tuesday.

Plasberg suffers from a temporary failure of the right balance organ, it is said. The ear was damaged by a long-ago bang trauma. The doctors had therefore ordered him to rest.

A replacement for Plasberg is already certain: “Hard but fair” will be moderated by Susan Link for some editions from January 27th. The 43-year-old works as a moderator of the “ARD morning magazine” and the WDR talk show “Kölner Treff”.
