Hesse plans to shrink HR radio offering further

The Hessian state government plans to reduce the number of radio programs broadcast by Hessischer Rundfunk (HR) to five by 2027 and four by 2030, of which only three will be produced in-house. The draft law, introduced by CDU and SPD, is part of broader efficiency reforms targeting public broadcasting. It also includes capping the director's salary at the level of civil service grade B 11 (approx. €209,000), currently exceeded by incumbent Florian Hager. Additionally, the draft enhances oversight powers of broadcasting councils and requires a transparent remuneration system for non-tariff employees. HR currently operates six radio stations, including the youth channel DasDing with SWR and SR. The proposal reflects growing political pressure on public broadcasters to economize amid trust concerns.

• Hesse's CDU/SPD draft law caps HR's terrestrial radio programs at five from 2027 and four from 2030.
• By 2030, HR may only operate three radio programs itself; HR Info will cooperate more closely with SWR Aktuell and SR Info.
• The draft caps the HR director's salary at civil service grade B 11, around €209,000 gross annually.

Wilsberg rerun hits near 2 million viewers on ZDFneo

On Wednesday evening, ZDFneo attracted nearly two million viewers with a rerun of the crime series "Wilsberg," reaching its highest audience of the year. The 1.99 million viewers and 9.4% market share among the total audience represent a significant success for the channel, likely boosted by the absence of similar crime programming on Das Erste and ZDF. However, the following mystery thriller series "Die Düsteren" failed to benefit from the strong lead-in, with viewership dropping to 480,000 for its first episode and continued declines throughout the night. The article provides detailed ratings data from AGF Videoforschung.

• ZDFneo attracted 1.99 million viewers for a 'Wilsberg' rerun on Wednesday evening.
• This was the highest audience for 'Wilsberg' on ZDFneo this year.
• The mystery series 'Die Düsteren' drew only 480,000 viewers for its first episode after the strong lead-in.

ARD Scores Highest Wednesday Reach in 4.5 Years

On Wednesday evening, the ARD's prime-time thriller 'Frau ohne Namen' drew 5.36 million viewers, securing a 26.1% market share and marking the broadcaster's highest reach for that slot in four and a half years.

The ARD film also performed well among younger audiences (14-49) with 10.2% share. The strong lead-in boosted the following program 'Plusminus' to 3.05 million viewers, its best since May 2024. ZDF's 'heute journal' managed 2.24 million viewers. An old 'Wilsberg' episode on ZDFneo outperformed the main ZDF channel in prime time with 1.44 million viewers.
