Save Cosmo Radio: A Cause Celebrities Champion
Celebrities Urgently Advocate for the Salvation of Radio Station Helmed by Herbert GroeneMeyer and associates - Celebrated personalities, led by Herbert Grönemeyer, rally to protect the existence of radio stations.
Warnings are ringing loud and clear—Germany's most diverse and inclusive radio station, Cosmo, could be facing extinction! campaigners fear, due to reforms in the broadcasting state treaty. Recent meetings at the WDR broadcasting council have cast a grim shadow over the station's future, with potential digital product placements as the only apparent lifeline. But fear not, for a host of big-name celebrities are rallying to prevent this cultural tragedy.
Iconic Personalities Speak Out
Circumstances cry out for action, as this station broadcasts what moves the youth. "Radio can challenge, resist, and showcase diversity, so let's unite to safeguard Cosmo's future," advocates environmental activist Luisa Neubauer. Singer Trettman echoes this sentiment, stating, "Cosmo is one of the essential building blocks in the local radio landscape..."
Among the voices supporting this cause are renowned director Fatih Akin, celebrated musician Herbert Grönemeyer, comedian Shahak Shapira, actress Jasmin Tabatabai, and rapper Thomas D from the Fantastic Four. Also joining forces are Green politician Claudia Roth, investigative journalist Günter Wallraff, and popular band AnnenMayKantereit.
The petition highlights that in the current political climate marked by right-wing extremism, hostility, racism, and anti-Semitism gaining traction, the potential silence of Cosmo would be a severe blow. Known for catering to communities often underrepresented in mainstream media, playing music that spotlights unsung artists and showcasing global diversity like no other public broadcaster, Cosmo's relevance cannot be overstated.
"Your No. 1 for the international, diverse society!" proclaims Cosmo in the ARD audio library, expressing its mission to discover fresh perspectives and celebrate international pop culture.
