Hard to know.

Sources in the corporation hint that they are aware of the apparent problematic that exists around the systematic departure of employees at the station

This week, the radio station of the public broadcasting corporation "Here Culture" broadcasts the latest program of the station's most prominent talent, Dudu Erez, "Three Who Know." From the Walla! Brenze indicates that this is the seventh departure in a period of about two years, this time by the person who has submitted in the last four and a half years the flagship program that deals with the fields of science, technology and more. Most recently, the program won the Best Text Radio Program Award from the Press Association.

The departure of Dudu Erez joins the resignation of the station's editor Nadav Neumann about 4 months ago, the departure of the head of the podcast series Rom Attic (to Mako) and the departure of other station members in the last two years such as Gili Markovich, Shiri Lev Ari, Esti Rimon Yemini - all alongside Another producer, and more.

What is behind the line of departures?

Hard to know.

Sources in the corporation hint that they are aware of the apparent problematic that exists around the systematic departure of employees at the station, but on the other hand say that this is a regular turnover and better offers received by some of its people.

This explanation certainly can not give a complete answer to the question why the station editor himself (Attic) - abandoned after less than a year.

As well as others.

Unpleasant atmosphere

Sources in "Here is Culture" who spoke with Walla!

Brenze in recent days describe an unpleasant atmosphere at the station

Sources in "Here is Culture" who spoke with Walla! Brenze in recent days describes an unpleasant atmosphere in the station that is supposed to be a kind of boutique station - or the cultural patrol here, and confirms the descriptions that appeared in Tamar Kaplinsky's investigation in Haaretz about what is happening there. As I recall, station manager Lee-Or Aberbach said in one of the testimonies that he "is known for all his employees being upset. He gets into people about things he never defined, dismissing workers as punishment."

Indeed, a veteran source at the station told Walla! Brenze that "it is not surprising that his uncle decided to leave. The atmosphere at the station is bad and it is because of the poor human relations of the managers that make the working days unbearable. The glacier. A day will come and the workers will open their mouths without fear and everything will come out. "

The source even mentioned that Averbach arrived at the station without sufficient managerial experience, an issue that already arose as problematic with his appointment in 2017, when the corporation lowered the threshold conditions of the tender, on the grounds that "there were no other suitable candidates approaching the position".

However, Walla Brenze then learned that seven candidates had reached the final stage of the tender, including at least one CEO with proven and successful experience of a prominent radio station (his name is kept in the system) - so it is not clear what led Koblenz and the council to choose exactly. Meanwhile, the "Success" organization then submitted a request from the Freedom of Information Law to reveal the names of the contestants. In the

same context, the source states that Appointed Director of Heritage Radio.

Natural turnover or problematic management?

However, despite the upheavals that the small station is going through, especially in the line of listening data, there has been only a moderate decline in recent years.

According to the latest TGI survey published in July, the station is on a consistent downward trend from 2.6% to 2.4% in two years, which certainly does not fall short of the overall rate of decline in listening to stations here in those years.

Hence Tarbut said in response that: "Dudu Erez asked to leave after nearly 5 years in which he led the program three people who know in order to devote to other projects. We love him very much and wish him success."
