In principle, the AVROTROS believes that their viewing figure hit who is the mole could also move to a commercial broadcaster if there is interest in it. “They would like it tomorrow.”
Who is De Mol is one of the largest television hits in the Netherlands, so in the event of a cutback, the tube will not disappear. After all: RTL 4 and SBS 6 will fight each other for the rights. And what is really wrong with that? Who is De Mol is also fine with the commercial with an advertising block in between?
Blockbuster
More than 20 million euros have to be cut on the NPO programs and if you scrap who is the mole you already have the first ten percent. “But we all contribute to the public broadcaster. Then the programming must also be for everyone, “says AVROTROS director Taco Zimmerman in the Ad.
Nevertheless, Taco also realizes that broadcasting who is the mole is not necessarily a public task. “I know that commercial channels a program like Wie is De Mol? Would prefer to have tomorrow. Yet we need that kind of blockbusters to keep the public broadcaster visible and attractive. “
To RTL 4
Strikingly enough, Taco does not seem to be very sorry if who is De Mol moves to RTL 4 at some point. “I think: if the commercials really want to have something – as it happened with Arjen Lubach – the NPO must be willing to let such a program go.”
The public broadcaster can then make something else, he explains. “On the NPO and then take the opportunity to renew. Because that is also a public task. “
Cut back on Eva
Tina Nijkamp does not think that will happen. She says Inside in today: “Jan Slagter is afraid that the whole of Holland will be baking and who is the mole disappearing, but I can reassure the viewers: of course that does not happen! That is the last thing they are going to do out! I think they can start with, for example, the Eva Jinek studio. “
What’s with that studio? “Well, he can just go back to Hilversum. That saves 2 million again. And for programs like the evening stage you can think: can’t we just do that to the Netherlands? And we also have enough of all those portrait programs: from TV monument to the cut guest and stars on the canvas! ”
