Former talk show host Andreas Türck (55) will soon return as a presenter. The Cologne-based live streaming service Dyn announced in a press release that it has secured the services of the 55-year-old. The first match is scheduled for next Sunday. Türck will be mediating the match between HSV Hamburg and SC Magdeburg on the second matchday of the Daikin Handball Bundesliga (September 15, broadcast starts at 2:45 p.m.).
It is no coincidence that Andreas Türck was accepted as one of the handball presenters. He was an active handball player in the late 80s and early 90s. He played for the then second division team TuS Eintracht Wiesbaden before moving to the Bundesliga side SG Wallau/Massenheim in the 1990/1991 season. However, after only one year he ended his career and soon after began his career in television.
However, he has always remained true to his passion, as he stated in a statement about his relationship with Dyn: “I have been playing handball since I was a child and the sport never left me even after I moved to the media world. Now that I am back in the handball world, this time as a presenter, it feels like coming home.”
From radio to ProSieben
Türck first made his mark as a radio presenter. He eventually moved to ProSieben via RTL and ZDF, where he presented the talk show “Andreas Türck” from 1998 to 2002. His second major activity was as presenter of the TV magazine “Abenteuer Leben” from 2013 to 2017 in the cable eins.
Sports channel Dyn is still relatively new to the market. It was founded as a startup about two and a half years ago and began broadcasting in August 2023. According to the company, the goal is to provide a platform for sports that receive little attention, along with popular football. In addition to handball, this includes basketball, volleyball, and hockey.
