New radio play chief: Kurt Reissnegger now heads ORF Radio Ö1!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The media landscape in Austria has experienced a significant change: Dr. Kurt Reissnegger, head of the "Literature and radio play" department at Ö1, was used on March 1 as the interimistic director of ORF Radio Ö1. He follows Silvia Lahner and has a remarkable career at ORF, which started working in the Lower Austria State Studio. The experienced publicist, born in 1960 in Carinthia, contributed significantly to the development of the ORF radio plays in various functions, including the editor-in-chief of the Ö1 magazine, which were often awarded international prizes, such as the "Prix Italia" and the "Radio Prize of Adult Education", such as the media correspondence highlighted.

The diverse and often award -winning productions presented during the radio play days reflected the dynamic state of Austrian radio play art. The variety of creative approaches and the possibility of exchange between established sizes and aspiring talents were particularly remarkable. While the participants continued to adhere to a harmonious and benevolent discourse, it remains to be seen whether these events can create the urgently needed creative impetus for more presence in the future. The networking and the exchange during such conferences are crucial for the future of radio play in Austria.
