Austrian TV series or program

(also called by the shows original name,
Musikantenstadl
) is a live broadcast entertainment show of German pop music,
Schlager
and
Volkstumliche Musik
. The program tours Austria, Germany, Switzerland and South Tyrol being produced by
ORF
, and broadcast via the
Eurovision
with the cooperation of
Bayerischer Rundfunk
and
Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen

Stadlshow
in an attempt to attract younger viewers. The show is presented by
Francine Jordi
and Alexander Mazza.
Reception

The new
Stadlshow
was broadcast 12 September 2015 and received mainly negative views with the premier show being labelled 'disastrous'
[1]
and many commenting that
Andy Borg
, who presented
Musikantenstadl
for nine years as successor to
Karl Moik
should return. Borg's last show which was live from
Pula
, Croatia attracted 673,000 viewers (30 percent) in Austria, whilst the new
Stadlshow
attracted 526,000. Viewing records in Germany performed even worse only reaching 9.6 percent of German viewers.

Many performers from the
volksmusik
world voiced their opinion following the premier. Stefan Mross who presents
Immer wieder Sonntags
stated the new stage set, sound and overall mood of the show was a disaster and he was sad and disappointed. Another volksmusik legend in the German speaking world
Heino
came up with a five-point plan for the ORF bosses which included:
- Going back to the show's original name 'Musikantenstadl' which he stated was a top brand like Mercedes-Benz. He stated
Hansi Hinterseer
would make a better main host, Alexander Mazza should be dropped, and Francine Jordi should be an after-stadl host.
- The show should go back to its original Borg stage setting as opposed to the new modern mountain-resort stage.
- There were too many unfamiliar stars in the premier show and that ORF should bring in some already big name stars in volksmusik and schlager.
- Finally the ORF bosses should stop trying to rejuvenate
Musikantenstadl
for young people when they are not as interested in the stadl as much as older generations and families no matter how much they try. This has been the opinion of many viewers and volksmusik artists alike.

On 31 December 2015, the new
Stadlshow
new year special,
Silvester-Stadlshow
was broadcast live from
Linz
, Austria. Failing to reach high ratings it was decided by
ORF
to broadcast the
Stadlshow
only on the New Year's Eve as opposed to a year long program. Most of the critical reception has been a result of ORF's decision to remove Borg and
Musikantenstadl
which has been received negatively, with many calls for the broadcaster to reverse their decision.
Musikantenstadl
is still used in conjunction with
Stadlshow
when referring to the program as
Musikantenstadl
technically never ended but was just re-branded.
