Thomas Gottschalk gave a three-minute angry speech against the public service broadcaster in a clubhouse talk on Sunday evening.
This is reported by the media service turi2 with its boss Peter Turi as an ear witness.
Gottschalk called the difference between demands and reality on public television “simply catastrophic”.
He was "full of holy anger, what concerns the opportunities of public television and how little is made of it".
At around 7.10 p.m., the PR professional Wolfram Winter brought the 70-year-old show master onto the virtual audio stage during a talk with Patricia Schlesinger, director of the Berlin-Brandenburg Broadcasting Corporation (RBB) - and Gottschalk started right away: “We're sending us here in an administrative juggernaut, where the institutions do not treat each other the black under the nails, "he said according to the report.
He is of the opinion “that there are now Corona teams that are already afraid that the epidemic will be brought under control, because then all crisis teams will be crushed.
They can do that. "

The public broadcasters are not even able to promote their own programs and put them in the window, “because then the MDR says: Wait a minute, we're broadcasting against the SWR in the third party.
They step on each other's feet, there is no overall management behind them. "
In the discussion that followed, Gottschalk said that he sees the future of ARD “more on the radio”, where he perceives “closer listening” and “partly brilliant contributions”.
On the culture waves there are “incredibly great features” - that is “the public service mandate”.
The criticism did not stop Gottschalk, however, from moderating an eight-part TV show series with the title “Again 18!” This year for Südwestrundfunk (SWR).
Since January 2020, Gottschalk has also hosted a two-hour radio show every Monday afternoon together with Constantin Zöller and a podcast with Nicola Müntefering every two weeks.
