According to Talpa director Paul Römer, listeners to the Talpa Network radio stations will not notice the corona crisis, but television viewers will. The media company is not dependent on producers for making radio, but due to the lack of advertising income, a number of television programs had to be moved, he says in Tuesday. AD.
“We make radio ourselves, we are not dependent on producers. The TV viewer will notice,” says Römer about Radio 538, Radio 10 and television channels SBS6 and Net5, among others. “Without advertising money you can not spend anything. So we decided on a number of programs such as Million hunt and the new quiz Split Screen to be moved to later this year. “
According to Römer, it was sometimes not possible for television producers to record programs because of the international lockdown. The Talpa director sees the advantage that autumn will become “exceptionally beautiful with many new and major titles”.
After the departure of weatherman Piet Paulusma, it is possible new weather forecast from SBS6 Römer not yet appealing. “It is fine in terms of content, but for my taste it is still too chilly and distant in terms of shape. There is still a lot to do. We are working on it, you will see the result this year.”
‘Return Veronica Inside fifty fifty‘
The return of the sports program Veronica Inside Römer rates as “Fiftyfifty, where the glass is half full. But it has to be WE stay. When it gets salty and nasty, it is WE not anymore”.
According to the Talpa director, the special themed broadcast about racism was from Veronica Inside at the end of June, following the racist joke of analyst Johan Derksen about rapper Akwasi a week earlier, “not so bad. But the way the gentlemen then conducted the discussion with each other in public, that way you only make a crisis worse” .
