Viktor Worms: He didn't enjoy the ZDF hit parade - shocking insights!
At a time when German hits were celebrating their heyday, Viktor Worms was a well-known voice on German television as presenter of the “ZDF Hit Parade” from 1985 to 1989. This cult show, which spanned 32 years and was discontinued in 2000 with 385 episodes, not only focused on German hits, but also integrated representatives of the Neue Deutsche Welle. The “ZDF Hit Parade” was a melting pot of musical styles, and Worms followed in the great footsteps of the legendary Dieter Thomas Heck.
Viktor Worms, now 65 years old, has his roots in the media world with training at Radio Luxembourg and a career that ranges from editing to various moderations. However, he recently made it clear in an interview that TV presenting was not that much fun for him, especially due to the rehearsals, which he found less enjoyable. Instead, he values good melodies and shows a wide taste in music, ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Billy Joel. After his time at the “ZDF Hit Parade”, Worms worked as head of entertainment and program director at Antenne Bayern and ZDF and currently works as a coach and consultant. Despite his new tasks, he misses the stage and the feeling of hosting live.
A critical look into the hit world
The “ZDF hit parade” was recently viewed critically by another celebrity from the pop world. Such feedback shows how lively and controversial the legacy of this show is to this day. While Worms remembers the positive aspects, the dark side of his business cannot be underestimated.
Aside from music and nostalgic memories, there is also news in other areas that is causing excitement. An example from the gaming world shows how creative thinking is essential when adapting game mechanics. A forum is discussing the idea of making GameSkill more accessible to the modding community in order to give mod makers more flexibility when adjusting difficulty levels in games. This technological discussion shows the drive for innovation that is present in many areas.
Similar to the media sector, the world of communication is constantly adapting. In 2013, Hotmail users were offered new, modern access to their emails by switching to Outlook.com. The login has been simplified, making it easier to access the inbox. This unification of all Microsoft services is a sign of the times that we are moving in a world in which technology and media are constantly changing.
Worms' look back at his time on the "ZDF hit parade" and the current developments in the gaming and communications industry illustrate how diverse and dynamic the media landscape is. From the hit classics to the latest gaming trends, we always maintain our creativity and innovative strength.
