Cornald Maas really chats completely out of his neck about the commentary booth at the Eurovision Song Contest, says his criticaster Tina Nijkamp. “How much does it cost, such a box? 300 euros per hour?”
Very remarkable: Nikkie de Jager states that she was in conversation to comment with Cornald Maas during the Eurovision Song Contest, but now he does it alone. He states that only a very narrow someone next to him fits into the commentary booth and that a larger box costs too much money, but wants to cut the AVROTROS on it.
300 euros
What a nonsense, Mark Koster shouts in the podcast The Media Week. “Stop it, man. How much does it cost, such a box? 300 euros per hour?” Says the MediaColumnist of De Telegraaf.
Co-host Tina Nijkamp on that: “Yes dude. No more. And that Nikkie de Jager also went all the way:” No, no, I didn’t get it because they cut back! Geert Wilders has cut us away! “
Mark: “Those are all ideas.”
Radio studio
The AVROTROS really throws money at the song festival, says Tina. “They made a whole radio studio! Bart Arens was also very proud to film that. Seven men crew, because I counted it on that video. All technology. They have rented some hotel room and built a whole radio studio in Basel.”
She continues: “Do you know what that costs with seven people and spending a whole week there and everything? It costs one and a half tons, I think. It is a parallel universe!”
On the coffee
Cornald states that Tina doesn’t get it. “I think Tina has to go for a very bad coffee at AVROTROS. Then she can hear from Avrotros herself that I am sitting there alone, because it has been a decision of the leadership of AVROTROS and he has to deal with costs,” he says in Shownieuws.
He continues: “It really saves a lot of money if you are sitting there or just the two of you. The size of the loft also matters for its rent.”
Thin body
Reporter Eline de Ruig thinks it is a strange story, because Cornald is now also in a box with someone else, but who is just not heard. “You are in just as large boxes there as the rest? There is now also someone besides you who cannot be heard, but in terms of technology.”
Finally, Cornald: “Look at my thin body and the thin the one sitting next to me, Erwin is that, that inserting when there is something with the criticism. We have a small loft. Last year I had a double loft. Now it is only a lot of money.”
