The head of the board of directors at Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) is suddenly resigning from his position as chairman. The board office of public broadcaster ARD confirmed to the German Press Agency that Benjamin Ehlers has resigned as chairman with immediate effect – he is still a member of the board of directors.

The commission’s office did not want to comment on the reasons. Recently there have been frequent discussions in broadcaster management boards about how to deal with other board members and their relationship with the broadcaster. It is unclear who will head the board of directors now. A regular meeting of the supervisory board is planned in Potsdam on Thursday.
The new RBB board of directors was founded in April 2023. Like the second governing body, the Broadcasting Board, it wants to bring stability back to the house after the RBB scandal involving allegations of waste and negligence at the top of the station. At that time, the new members elected Cottbus lawyer Ehlers as chairman in their district meeting. Dagmar Tille, who heads Berlin’s highest monument protection authority, was appointed vice president. The board of directors supervises the activities of the director, especially in budget matters.
