Vienna (OTS) – Hitradio Ö3 will be broadcast from December 19. at 10.00 am for 120 hours live from the “Ö3-Wunschhütte” in Vienna Heiligenstadt, to make the Christmas miracle Ö3 come true even in the exceptional year 2020. A few days before the start, it is certain that Ö3 presenter Tina Ritschl, will move into Ö3’s dream cabin as the host of Christmas wonders along with Robert Kratky and Andi Knoll. She replaces Gabi Hiller on short notice, who cannot be there this year due to a positive corona test.
Tina Ritschl is part of the moderation team at the Ö3 Christmas Miracle for the first time: “For me, the Ö3 Christmas Miracle is the highlight of the year. I’ve been working behind the scenes since the beginning and it’s always been a lot of fun. Being myself at the Ö3-Wunschhütte this year, together with Robert and Andi at the biggest fundraising party of the year, is a special honor for me. Since 2019 she has moderated the community program Ö3 “Ask the whole country” (Saturdays from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.), has conducted numerous interviews with Austrian musicians, has reported on concerts and events for the Ö3 alarm clock as a music reporter and presents the online music magazine Ö3 “Ö3-Jetzt”.
Gabi Hiller, who had no physical contact with her Ö3 colleagues in recent days, tested positive for a COVID-19 infection and is currently in quarantine:
“I love Ö3’s Christmas miracle. It is the best combination of community, fun, hope, compassion, charity and party. I am very sorry that I cannot attend this outstanding event this year. After six years it has become a tradition for me to celebrate gifts with Robert, Andi and all of Austria. But you must not curse during the contemplative season of Advent. At least not in public. Different rules apply in my home quarantine 😉
This year I will watch Ö3’s Christmas miracle for 120 hours on all channels … radio, live broadcast, Instagram, everything will run simultaneously. And in the end, I will be happy for the help that needy families in Austria receive. Everything else is irrelevant. ”
Ö3 Christmas miracle presenters Robert Kratky, Tina Ritschl and Andi Knoll, along with the entire Ö3 team, wish you a speedy recovery from the bottom of their hearts.
