Save 3sat! Tobias Mann fights against the merger with arte

Public law broadcasting faces a dramatic reform that could affect the 3sat cultural broadcaster. The State's Radio Commission plans to combine 3sat with the Franco-German broadcaster ARTE, which triggered a wave of the protest. The "Rettet 3sat" initiative receives prominent support from Tobias Mann, the well -known Mainz cabaret artist who warns: "The end of 3sat means the end of an important cultural platform."

In just a few days, over 92,000 people have signed the petition, which indicates the importance of 3sat for demanding journalism, culture and science. Man describes the broadcaster as an indispensable home for cabaret and critical debates: "We need 3sat more than ever - a decrease in quality would be a big mistake". The discussion about the reform will continue until October 11, 2024, which illustrates the urgency of the situation. The community now demands more quality to less content, while the fears of loss of cultural diversity are growing.
