German broadcaster Sat.1 is restructuring its management. Sat.1 boss Matthias Alberti, who took over from Roger Schawinski at the beginning of the year, is being promoted to Chairman of the Management Board.
The management team will be strengthened by Torsten Rossmann, who is also a new Managing Director. He is responsible for Information & Magazines, Marketing and Controlling. Rossmann will also remain Managing Director of the news channel N24, which belongs to the ProSiebenSat.1 family.
As Deputy Managing Director of the station, Volker Szezinski will take over responsibility for German fiction as well as licensed programs and co-productions in addition to program planning.
ProSiebenSat.1 CEO Guillaume de Posch says that the restructuring is intended to strengthen the news division. This appears to be a change of course: This year, the station cut back on information and canceled the shows "Sat.1 am Mittag" and "Sat.1 am Abend" (see
). He is also struggling with low ratings. The new management team will probably have to prove itself as a crisis helper. Picture: Torsten Rossmann
