Do You Congratulate Someone Who Had A Baby

The Golden handshake

has never read the balance sheets of broadcasting was as exciting as today. For

: Rüdiger Search Lands article "The self-abolition of German television" in Telepolis from 12.08.2010 with the hanger of a presumption of the amount invested by the NC-R radio system for the additional retirement of its employees

has caused quite a stir.

So etwa bei Stefan Niggemeier in seinem BILDblog:

Nach dem Studium der KEF-Zahlen hat Rüdiger Suchsland seine ursprüngliche Vermutung in einer persönlichen Stellungnahme relativiert und bei der Prozent-Vermutung zurück genommen:
http://www.heise.de/tp/blogs/6/148922

Es sind nun doch keine 50 Prozent des Gebührenaufkommens, die zur Aufstockung des gesetzlichen Rentenaufkommens durch Betriebsrenten verwandt werden. Denn für 2010 sind dies lt. Suchsland gem. KEF ["Aufwendung für die Altersversorgung der Rundfunksanstalten" (S.85)] doch nur 570 Millionen Euro (brutto) als Gesamtbetrag [für ARD, ZDF and DRadio], which apparently according Niggemeier gem. KEF only 5 percent of fee income are. If we take the approach and the Niggemeierschen also the three-sentence to help, then the fee revenue would be 11 billion and 400 million euros. In fact, the prognosis for the KEF 2009 - 2012 but with 33 804 million EURO, at around 8451 million euros in total revenue per year for the period. Percentage is thus the cost of pension provision, based on the total revenue at just under 7 percent. Total revenue, however, include advertising revenues. Therefore, the expense is for retirement pension based on the fee income well above 7 percent. However

tilts the image if the current expenditures for staff costs with the pension expense compares.

Because there are 1666 million euros in personnel costs (excluding pensions) [lt 17. KEF report for 2009 - 2012, quoted by search country] to him for four long years of retirement for 553 million euros a year (with ARD + ZDF). - € 416.5 million per year in personnel costs compared to € 553 million in pension plans. - That is to say: the pension is higher than the current services to be personnel costs. The

so obviously slumbering in KEF Reports scandal is not the false assumption that the total fee revenue reportedly about 50 percent went to retirement benefits; - What brought them to the dispute to day, so the fact that the pension benefits are higher than the actual cost of staff benefits.

And that is true, however, but the assumption that current production contaminated margins narrow sharp and significant, which just leads to "cheap programming. For the budget of just over EUR 80 million on "Program Requirements" each year, for the many full programs of ARD and ZDF (ARD, ZDF and digital channels, Kika, Phoenix, 3SAT, 3 TV programs of the various ARD, entire ER-Radio) is really not very much, about the prevailing program outsourcing pressure. Thus was

Rüdiger Search Lands Beitrag diskurs-anregend und sehr zu begrüßen.

Mit Leopold Kehr würde ich sagen: der Bezugsrahmen ist von der Skalierung her zu groß, weil der zunehmende, systemische Verwaltungs- und Vorsorgeaufwand die Produktivität seiner Einzelkomponenten insgesamt zu ersticken droht. Man könnte es auch so formulieren: Die in den 1950er-Jahren konzipierten Fernsehtheater-Anstalten mit angeschlossener E-Kamera, Werkstätten und Hausmeister wirken in ihrer vollen Ausdifferenzierung nach rund 50 - 60 Jahren inzwischen in einer rundherum parzellierten Medienlandschaft seltsam deplatziert, aus einer anderen Zeit.

Wenn man nach vorne denken möchte: Wie sähe ein "public broadcasting" auf der Höhe der Zeit eigentlich aus, gerade in seiner institutionellen Basis?
