VOX withdraws The Perfect Dinner to AmoFlauf in Graz!

Graz, Österreich - The cooking show "The Perfect Dinner" is deleted from the program by VOX at short notice. This drastic step takes place after a killing spree at a school in Graz, Austria, in which ten people, including nine young people and a teacher, died. The incident occurred on June 10, 2025 and triggered grief and horror throughout the nation. VOX shows sympathy with the program change and respects the victims and their relatives.

Originally, the new episodes of the popular show from June 30th to July 4, 2025 were planned in Graz. Five hobby chefs from Austria had prepared to present their favorite dishes and compete against each other. However, these planned graz episodes are postponed indefinitely, as a spokeswoman for the station confirmed.

program changes in response to the tragedy

Instead of the graz episodes, VOX will now radiate episodes from Flensburg that have already been produced. These episodes are broadcast daily from Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. In Flensburg, the candidates Jan, Nele, Frank, Sandra and Kim show their cooking skills and delight the spectators with different dishes. VOX's decision to postpone the graz was not undifferentiated, but was done in a context that other media and channels also reflect with various adjustments to this crisis-like situation.

The killing spree has also led to the order of a three -day state mourning in Austria, which affected the entire society. ORF program director Stefanie Groiss-Horowitz emphasized the responsibility of the public service broadcast and announced comprehensive program changes. Artistic events, such as the “Midsummer Night Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic”, were adapted to the current mourning situation. For example, a minute's silence is preceded for the victims.

The way forward

In Graz itself, the psychological and physical aftermath of the killing spree can still be felt for many affected people. Numerous people are in medical treatment while the city deals with the consequences of this tragedy. The shock sits deeply, and the entire population is in thoughts among the victims and their families.

As the events show, the transmission landscape of developments in society does not remain unaffected. VOX's decision is part of a larger whole that shows how media react to grief and compassion. The graz consequences will be made up at a later date, but there is no new broadcast date.

The coming weeks will show how the situation will develop with the delays of the program plans in the entertainment industry. However, VOX remains there for the audience by continuing to run the Flensburg episodes in the usual time.
