Günther praises reform plans: Public broadcaster should be slimmer!

Schleswig-Holstein, Deutschland - The radio reform causes a stir! Schleswig-Holstein's Prime Minister Daniel Günther enthusiastically accepted the ambitious reform plans of the Prime Minister to modernize public service broadcasting. "We made great progress in the discussion about a reform, which is great news! However, I would have liked that we would have already found an agreement on the financing model today," said the CDU politician full of enthusiasm.

The decisive course for the future should not be set at the Prime Minister Conference until December. Günther expressed himself optimistic: "The agreement that ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio will present themselves more digital, slimmer and more modern in the future is extremely positive." The heads of the federal states have set themselves the goal of not only making the structure more efficient, but also reducing costs.

cost reduction and program changes in sight!

As part of the reform, the ARD radio programs are to be drastically reduced, while smaller TV channels that classically operate are on TV are on the brink. The head floors of the federal states have decided that the broadcasting contribution will initially remain stable at 18.36 euros per month. However, a decision on the future financing of the public broadcasters is still pending and has been postponed. The tension in the air is tangible, while the state bosses move to a new era of radio!
