The RBB wanted to save positions in the management, the new director Ulrike Demmer now has other plans. First we want to find out: “How big does our station have to be at least?”
Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg is still a long way from normal operations. The investigation into the affair surrounding ex-director Patricia Schlesinger is ongoing, and the austerity measures imposed on the station by interim director Katrin Vernau are also causing unrest. Almost 50 million euros are expected to be saved by the end of 2024. Ulrike Demmer, former deputy spokeswoman for the federal government, has been in office as the new director at RBB for a few weeks. However, the team of directors has not been complete for months and has also been made up of acting directors.
