State Treaty amendments aim for SWR to operate efficiently and economically
The Southwest region's state broadcaster, SWR, is set for a significant change as the amended SWR State Treaty was approved by the cabinets in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate on February 25, 2025. The heads of government, Alexander Schweitzer (SPD) and Winfried Kretschmann (Greens), signed the treaty last Friday.
The amendment aims to modernize management structures, strengthen the quality and efficiency of supervision, and overcome old duplicate structures to focus on greater efficiency and thrift. The reform is crucial in today's era of increasing reliance on high-quality public offerings, particularly in the face of fake news and disinformation.
The amended treaty is expected to professionalize the supervisory bodies, thereby strengthening the high quality and acceptance of SWR's offerings. Many contributions have welcomed the amendment's aim to strengthen regionality, enable flexibility in radio broadcasting, and complete the fusion of SDR and SWF, which began in 1997.
Citizens, institutions, organizations, associations, and other institutions had the opportunity to comment on the State Treaty draft until November 26, 2024. The amendment is scheduled to come into force on September 1, 2025.
The SWR, located in Stuttgart, is the state broadcaster in the Southwest region. Kretschmann believes the reform will provide SWR with a future-proof setup, completing the process that began with the fusion of SDR and SWF nearly two decades ago.
However, further details about the amended SWR State Treaty, including its purpose, key points, and expected impact, are not readily available. If more context about the treaty becomes available, we will update this article accordingly.
