Rainer Beaujean, 53, reports from the home office. The boss of Pro Sieben Sat 1 is particularly careful right now, he doesn’t want to get infected with Corona. Because the Annual General Meeting is taking place this Thursday, and it could be turbulent, the unrest is great. The controversial former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and his group Media for Europe (formerly Mediaset) surprisingly announced in mid-March that they now own more than 25 percent of the shares in Pro Sieben Sat 1. The Italians apparently want to create a European TV group together with the German M-Dax company. But Beaujean vehemently rejects this and fights for independence.
