For the time being, Yvonne Coldeweijer has mainly delivered shoddy work as the new face of Net5, and according to TV authority Tina Nijkamp she is now in danger of being dumped. “Costs at most one million.”
TV authority Tina Nijkamp was channel manager of SBS 6 for many years and in that capacity had a lot to do with difficult celebrities who show star allure. Yvonne Coldeweijer also turns out not to be one team player: her half-hour juice program has now been in preparation for seven months and editor-in-chief Eric de Munck has also resigned.
‘Talpa very neat’
Yvonne does not want to answer difficult questions; for that she suddenly hides behind Talpa. What a weak snack. This tinkering is still causing her a lot of damage to her image. And the worst thing is: according to Tina, we won’t even see that whole juice show anymore, because she thinks that the Talpa top is done with it now, she says in her podcast Tina’s TV Update.
“Yes, I think Talpa thinks: we don’t feel like doing this anymore, with all this bullshit. It costs us way too much time and money, because that’s how it is. Look, of course: buying off a program team like that costs money, because Eric de Munck also really gets paid. At Talpa they are also known for dealing with staff very neatly in terms of money.”
A lot of bullshit
Eric does not sit home empty-handed, Tina emphasizes. “And they will certainly pay the rest of the team well. Yes, the costs are of course high, but hey, if you launch a program that takes a lot of hassle and does not score, then it will of course cost you much, much more.”
According to her, the decor alone costs a lot of money. “Those costs have to be taken even if it doesn’t go ahead. Well, that will amount to two hundred thousand. And then the staff and Yvonne will have to be bought off. Well, perhaps Talpa will then come up with a deal, where she will simply get paid the five hundred thousand.”
Million euros
Yvonne earns €500 a year at Talpa and has signed a two-year contract, Tina believes. She might just get one year’s salary, she thinks. “Well, let alone the fact that it is a million, you can still wonder whether that is not better than having this show on television.”
She concludes: “I am very curious about what the decisions will be, whether there will be a postponement, and how this will continue. But it is certain that it is now Frans Klein’s turn (Talpa’s program boss, ed.) It is up to him what to do.”
