End of private television?

I am in favor of abolishing private television.

It's actually not needed by anyone, but it costs everyone (even those who don't watch these programs) money. Officially, these programs are "free," but they're financed through advertising. And everyone who buys the corresponding products has to pay for this advertising—even if they don't watch the private TV channels.

Anyone who wants to watch the films broadcast there can do so via streaming services (without advertising, but with direct payment). And everyone saves money on all the products because these completely unnecessary advertising costs are eliminated.

It is actually not needed by anyone

Just because you don’t need them, that doesn’t mean that’s true to everyone else. The view of the switch-on rates shows that normal television has no spectator’s tail.

Officially, these broadcasts are “free of charge” but are financed by advertising. And this advertisement must be paid to anyone who buys the corresponding products – even if he does not look at the private TV stations.

Without (TV) advertising for a product, the demand for the same decreases and thus the price increases. If that weren’t the case, any company would waive advertising.

If TV advertising would fall away, then companies are looking for other platforms to place their advertising.

What makes you think they’re not needed by anyone.

the advertising costs on products also do not fall away, as advertising is simply switched elsewhere

the GEZ is superfluous, because if you want to stretch different shows, you have to pay almost everything.

I am in favour of private television being abolished.

And I am in favour of the public television being finally abolished. Why? Because fees are demanded by everyone for this Sch..ß, whether you want to see it or can only receive it. And despite these fees, the advertising is almost comparable to the private television, which is financed only by the advertising sent to them.

In addition, apart from the obviously lacking neutrality of journalism, the public broadcasters also think that the entertainment programme is completely below my level. Maybe it would be okay for me if I had been in old age for 20 years, but I still lack a few decades.

And the additional TV fees are paid so or so, depending on the provider, whether via cable, HD card, streaming service, internet provider or whatever. In addition to these fees, there are also fees for publicly legal broadcasting, which I mentioned at the beginning, because this also includes publicly-law television. So, if you mean television fees, this does not relate to private television (unless you mean PayTV, but to book it, any person can decide freely because at least nobody is forced to pay for it, unlike public broadcasting) but to this public broadcasting.

WArum, they show much less advertising.

Just because of the publicly legal television stations (and also similar radio stations), there are also only radio fees which are forced to pay for each person with residence, regardless of whether they want to see them or can only be seen.

They’re expensive, and they’re making bad money.

True, but for this, (by TV and radio) at least in Germany a semi-way balanced basic supply with messages is obtained.

Balanced basic services? How? They are not much more serious in public legal news, just a little less sensational than in the picture.

And the costs, in particular for the transmission rights of sports shows (which I all do not think of) are increasing practically into the immeasurable by the advertising rush of the private TV stations.

The publicly legal TV stations, such as ARD and/or ZDF, are also relatively large in sports, such as cycling and winter sports, and they are just calling for broadcasting fees and still bring advertising.

In your question of your choice of words, you’re calling for private broadcasters, but you’re actually criticising the methodology of public television broadcasters. You should be aware that you are accusing private television of what is not true of this, but of public television.

What is more expensive now is another question. In any case, the public are too expensive in relation to their contribution.

I always care about the TV. Live YouTube! There’s something for everyone at all times.

You can avoid buying expensive products. There is no advertising for cheap products (which are not qualitatively worse!). So grab it. It’s not forbidden.

The TV’s going to get rid of itself at some point. I think. It’s just a matter of time.

the publicly legal, certainly not. somehow, money has to be made and that cannot be missed, even if they change to streaming, then 100% will remain the contribution fee

Hmh – I’m not so sure. If no one turns on, this TV doesn’t make any sense.

as I said, as you know, but it will definitely run out on streaming and this will also be justified with mandatory contribution, perhaps it will not be any longer at all at some point, but that will certainly not be so fast, possibly in 2060 or later, I am very sure

It’s just hoped. There are also jobs behind it. Acquisitions were made – studios etc. That can’t have been all for the cat.

Yes, it is. Then if there’s no one interested. Exactly: The numbers are falling. And that’s gonna be okay. The time of classic television is over when you ask me.

the numbers of the spectators have fallen drastically in recent years, and yet there are constant increases in contributions, which can still run so badly, at the end the money flows, as will the legal system be behind it as always

I really don’t even watch classic television anymore. And if very rarely, then Arte or 3 sat.
