What makes ARD actually with the billions of contributors? In a talk show that TV executives defended their program. And especially had a suggestion for improvement: higher fees
210 euros per year for television – whether you look or not.. 210 euros – so much is an average German family every year for the programs of ARD and ZDF from -. Whether it has a TV or not
Legendary 8.3 billion euros earned the broadcast contribution to public broadcasters in last year. Nearly six billion euros of which get the nine stations of the ARD: Radio Bremen to Bayerischer Rundfunk. The ZDF receives almost two billion.
and reality diverge
A lot of money with which stuff would start. For example, make a decent program.
But demand and reality diverge not only in the perception of many spectators. The German Cultural Council demanded in a recent opinion, the public broadcasting was not intended some major target groups offer as much as possible, but make many audiences the widest possible offer
behalf of ARD:. as much program for as many people
Again reminder: ARD and ZDF get the billions of license fee payers, because they fulfill an order. So it has set the legislature. The public broadcasters should contribute to media pluralism and opinion and reach a range of products for information, education, advice and entertainment many people as possible.
But what does this mean? Does that mean, to pay 430 million euros for the broadcasting rights of the upcoming Football World Championships in Russia and Qatar? Or with “Günther Jauch”, “hard but fair”, “Anne Will”, “People and Politics” and the “Press Club” every week to send five talk shows in the first program? And falls regularly, a new “crime scene” already in “diversity”?
The TV executives face the spectators
Apparently there is discussion and justification required. And the tried to breastfeed in a panel discussion the first. The ARD chairman and NDR director Lutz Marmor and WDR director Tom Buhrow discussed with studio audience and guests on the quality and rate
As a precaution they had invited mostly combatants from the house:. TV-Commissioner Sabine Postel, talk show host Anne Will, the NDR radio hosts Andreas and Jens Kuhlage Hardeland and Sportschau presenter Matthias Opdenhövel all work for ARD stations. Moderating the way Sandra could Maischberger.
For good series lacks the money
In between was always the studio audience the word. “Why so few different sports come on TV?”, Asked a spectator. “Football is the number one stop”, Lutz Marmor said, and then explained that indeed rowing, canoeing and gymnastics were seen. The next questioner employed the culture: “Why there is no longer the request concert? Then came from classical to pop everything. “Marble saw also there is no problem:” We have but Florian Silbereisen “
A pop-Fan comforted the NDR director in a similar manner:”. There are initiatives for more Schlager -. in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern “A young man wanted more demanding, German TV series as in the US. “We can not pay,” admitted Buhrow. Not “from the price of a series` `Breaking Sopranos’ or Bad’ we make three to four crime scenes.”
Do we need, we have yet
In this style, it continued : We do not need, but we have, unfortunately, is not. These were the standard excuses of the two TV executives.
Pretty soon came a statement which may well pave the TV makers most headaches. A young man declare it actually look at all a normal television more. Everything interested him, he found in streaming services like Netflix.
Sabine Postel wants more money for the scene
Is in view of this development, the compulsory levy for all still justified?
As the house guests just came right. Too low is the budget for the Crime Scene Productions, sued TV Commissioner Postel. More and more work is needed, going from bad to worse payment. “Why do not we get from a larger piece of the pie?” Thankfully, Lutz Marmor took on this template. “Money is tight,” he asserted and announced that he would ask for more money for the sender
He has, incidentally, already:. Wants more than 1.1 billion euros from the contribution reserves marble plus 99 million euros more per year. Tom Buhrow did not want to put there. “When the population says we do not want you to equip with more money then they will see less.”
Why the WDR CEO earns more than the Chancellor?
Speaking of money. Why Mr. Buhrow deserves actually more money than the Chancellor, wanted an audience to know. “Because the Chancellor is underpaid,” was the reply of the WDR-Intendant. And then gave a lengthy explanation Buhrow that read something like this: Even the director of public utilities getting more than the mayor. And the boss of ProSiebenSat.1 have much more.
Where facts, data, numbers?
At least remain just as hard as the accusation, not being able to handle money, take the public broadcasters of doubts about their credibility. Especially in the Internet is the broadcasters repeatedly accused of partisan report on issues such as the conflict in Ukraine. ARD Moscow correspondent Udo Lielischkies conceded, it will become increasingly difficult to distinguish between truth and propaganda.
Each bipartisanship he pointed away from him. Also talk Masterin Anne Will forbade himself against the suspicion of influence exercised – regardless of which side. Not even the Chancellor have made conditions for the recent interview to the refugee issue, she insisted. They have no question want to know in advance, ruled out a non-issue.
Refugees dominate Dikussion
So easy to let the audience the news professionals but not get away with it. The increasing flattening of the reports in Tagesschau and themes let them doubt their veracity, told an audience member. “In the refugee crisis there were many pictures and dismay. But I have no facts, figures, data, “she criticized.
The answer to the charge? This theme dominates all internal discussions, Buhrow said. “As we present all the facts so that you can make yourself a picture? You will find nowhere else in the media landscape. “Well then. Then it all fits. And the ARD can carry on as before. As long as at least as long to watch a few more people. Approximately eleven percent of Germans were the last. And on average, they are already 59 years old.
