In addition to the conversation with Derksen, conversations were held with “various people within and outside the regional broadcaster”. A well-considered decision was made from these discussions.
“That was not an easy task, because reason and feeling are intertwined. In such a situation, it suits every company, including RTV Drenthe, to exercise as much care as possible,” said the broadcaster. “And that is done by entering into a dialogue, collecting facts and opinions, exchanging arguments and making an assessment and consideration.”
Derksen, Wilfred Genee and René van der Gijp announced on Friday that they would stop their program Today Inside† It AD reported on Tuesday that Derksen might return, but at the AP he let it be known that that is definitely not the case anymore.
