Cologne (dpa) - The ARD has announced effects on the program after the urgent application for the broadcasting fee that was rejected by the Federal Constitutional Court.

The ARD chairman Tom Buhrow announced on Tuesday at the request of the German press agency: “We now have to adjust our financial planning.

Failure to adjust premiums will require serious measures that will be seen and heard in the program. "

One will now advise together.

Previously, the Federal Constitutional Court had rejected urgent applications from ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio against the blockade of the increase in the broadcasting fee by Saxony-Anhalt.

The monthly contribution was originally supposed to increase from 17.50 euros to 18.36 euros on January 1, 2021.

15 federal states have agreed to block Saxony-Anhalt.

This means that the corresponding international treaty cannot come into force.

Buhrow emphasized: “The court has not yet made a preliminary decision on the constitutional complaint.

Now we are relying on a quick decision in the main. "
