Ingrid Deltenre will take over the management of the Directorate General of the European Broadcasting Union EBU in Geneva at the beginning of 2010. The Board of Directors will discuss her successor in the next few days, according to a press release. The aim is to secure the SF management until the merger with Schweizer Radio DRS at the beginning of 2011.
The EBU Executive Board elected Ingrid Deltenre to the post of Director General on Friday. She was Director of Swiss Television for six years. She was previously Managing Director of Publisuisse.
The EBU was founded in 1950. It is an association of 75 public service broadcasters from 56 countries in Europe. The EBU employs around 300 people in Geneva, Brussels, London, Madrid, Moscow, New York, Washington, Singapore and Beijing. The association promotes cooperation between broadcasters and ensures that decision-makers respect their role as public service broadcasters. As the EBU states on its website, it works closely with the United Nations, Unesco and the World Broadcasting Union (WBU), among others. The EBU supports its members in legal, technical and programming matters, for example. It also provides them with economic and market analyses and coordinates the daily exchange of programs in the areas of news, sport and music, according to a press release issued by SF on Friday.
