Hamburg (dpa -Afx) – At North German Rundfunk (NDR) there is a change at the top. In an election on Friday (from 11.45 a.m.), the broadcaster will decide whether the media manager Sandra Harzer-Kux will be director of the public broadcaster. The long-time Bertelsmann manager is the only candidate. The broadcaster’s board of directors, which belongs to the ARD network, had proposed the external manager.
Harzer-Kux (52) would follow director Joachim Knuth. The 65-year-old had offered an early transition to September 1st. Knuth has been the director of the third largest ARD station since January 2020. His contract runs regularly until mid -January 2026.
According to committees, there is only one ballot. If not enough votes for Harzer-Kux come together, the Board of Directors can submit a new personnel proposal within one month./SSVV/RIN/DP/NAS
