SRM Live S03E08 - Maastricht Culture: Time to say goodbye?

Student Radio Maastricht

In the second hour of show we will discuss another serious topic: Maastricht culture and media. Gemeente Maastricht is planning on making major budget cuts on the local media and culture. One of these is cutting all funding for RTV Maastricht. We've been trying for weeks to get someone from gemeente maastricht to talk to us about these plans and explain why they're planning to take these steps. Unfortunately we haven't been able to find anyone from the gemeente who wanted to make the time to talk to us about this. But don't worry! We will have 2 special guests in our show this week that can give us the ins and outs on the current situation, and want to discuss the consequences this will have on our city. Francois from RTV Maastricht will join us for the conversation, and will update us on RTVM's budget and the importance of a this local media platform. Alexander Lurvink, who started his own party within the gemeente, will also join us with his expertise and insights on how to step up.
