European Broadcasting Union (Ebu) president Delphine Ernotte-Cunci has been re-elected for a second two-year term.
Vice-president Petr Dvořák has also been re-elected. Their new mandate will run from Jan. 2023.
Meanwhile Mykola Chernotytskyi, of Ukrainian broadcaster UA:pbc, and Katja Wildermuth of German broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk (Br), have also joined the board. They will replace Germany’s Thomas Bellut (of broadcaster Zdf) and Russia’s Sergei Parker (of broadcaster Channel One) effective immediately.
Ernotte-Cunci is CEO of France Télévisions, Dvořárk is director-general of Czech Television, Chernotytskyi is head of the managing board at UA:Pbc and Wildermuth is director-general at Br.
Chernotytskyi’s appointment is particularly significant given that not only has he replaced a seat on the board vacated by a Russian broadcasting member but also because the Ebu are currently embroiled in a disagreement with UA:Pbc over where to host next year’s Eurovison Song Contest.

Zdf Enterprises, a key production-distribution component of one of Europe’s biggest public broadcaster powerhouses, Germany’s Zdf, is set to operate under the new name of Zdf Studios.
Effective from April 1, the title, announced by Zdf Enterprises President and CEO Fred Burcksen on Monday in Mainz, captures much better Zdfe’s current business reach, scale and ambitions.
“We are a studio, we cover all elements of our industry, from early development to longtail sales. The new name fits our business model much better and reflects our production and distribution expertise,” Burcksen said.
Zdf Enterprises was launched in 1993 to handle worldwide program distribution as new content-avid private TV networks sprang up in Europe and beyond and also to deal with the business affairs of the acquisition of programs from around the world. Since then, however, Zdfe has diversified energetically.
