Peter van der Vorst stays Inside with today’s boycott. The men of the program never have to report to RTL again as long as he is in charge. “Yes, I am Woke,” explains the TV boss.
RTL has earned for years and for years of big money with the men of today Inside, but the current TV boss Peter van der Vorst cannot hint often hinted that they never have to knock on him. Johan Derksen is involved, because he says he doesn’t want to go back at all. “Didn’t think about it for a moment!”
Loud cynicism
Peter maintains that VI no longer fits the current RTL. He says in today de Volkskrant: “The program does not fit with the family channel that we are, because I find VI cynical and often negative. I sometimes look at VI with pleasure, but it fits better with Talpa, through the tone. “
“We prefer to invest in the future, in someone like presenter Renze Klamer. We want to radiate optimism, tell a positive story. Where you can still make sharp jokes, but without hard cynicism. ”
Political color
De Volkskrant wonders whether the political color of VI also has something to do with it. The program is right, Peter is left. “Johan Derksen turns against everything that is ‘Woke’, I can imagine that it does not fit with the positive and inclusive channel that RTL wants to be,” the newspaper presents him.
Peter says: “Indeed, that is. Nowadays, Woke is used as a swear word, very polarizing, while it really only means that you are against discrimination and treat everyone right. If that is Woke, then I am Woke. I see it rather as a geuzen name than as an insult. “
Ranking the Stars
According to Peter, Ranking the Stars can, despite the fact that stigmatizing jokes are also made about gays. “I find it difficult to comment on jokes. Good and bad jokes are made in Ranking the Stars, but everyone who sits there knows what they end up in. ”
Paul de Leeuw recently asked in the program who all thinks Rob Goossens is gay. Peter: “We don’t always have to be the best boy in the class, it can sometimes also sand and collide. I find it much more harmful if Youp van ‘t Hek is talking about pisnichten, or how in the past a program like VI talked about gays. “
Tina Critical
TV authority Tina Nijkamp, the former channel boss of SBS 6, finds it difficult to follow Peter. She writes on her analysis canal: “Peter repeats what he finds about VI. Despite the about 15 years that it has been there, it does not fit with the current RTL. Too cynical and negative. Therefore at Talpa. Peter doesn’t think it’s positive enough. “
“Stays strange, because it could have put his Ieniemienie channel RTL 7 on the map. Peter also contradicts himself in the same interview, because ranking the stars thinks Peter fits strangely enough, because it can sometimes be ‘quite a bit sand’. “
