Up until yesterday....I'd never heard of this type of format.
So, this begins with all the over-expenditures of public TV funds with RBB (the network out of Berlin). In their budget (figure for the next two years)....they are missing 50-million Euro.
The management crew sat down and calculated who'd have to go, and how they'd fund various TV programs produced by the network.
Thus...came 'austerity-TV'.
My general guess is that a lot of reruns (maybe even going back to the 2004 period when they were 'created') will be used.
I'd also guess that public event episodes where they'd hire a dozen singers/groups for a show....will be whittled down to nothing.
Movie productions? They probably took the full listing, and carved off half of the projected movie ideas.
The curious thing to ask at the end of the two-year period? Did anyone even notice that this was austerity TV, or did everyone seem to think it was normal TV?
