WELT went out and discussed the idea of increasing the TV-Media tax onto the public (currently at 18.36).
ARD/ZDF would like to open a discussion where a new tax increase would occur. The rumor is that they'd like to discuss 3 Euro a month more (probably in 2026 timeframe).
The last raise? 86 cents, in mid-2021.
What WELT found? Across the country....no one is pumped-up to pay more. It doesn't matter what party people profess....the majority of folks see no reason for a raise.
What's going on? The individual states (16 of them) have the trump-card to play...in pushing ARD/ZDF to change/evolve.
WELT suggests that massive change will likely come this time. I'm not that convinced.
For reference.....ZDF (Channel 2) was never supposed to exist, and it's rarely laid out in presentations how they were created and the reason how it was driven to oppose ARD (Channel 1). You can stand in a chat forum and find literally no one willing to discuss in front of Germans. I think if the story were openly discussed.....ZDF would be pushed into the corner to end.
Oddly, if you do the viewer numbers....ZDF has more viewers....than ARD.
