Arte, the Franco-German public service broadcaster, has become the newest member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
Founded in 1990, Arte was established as a collaboration between France and Germany, with a mission to promote cultural exchange, creativity, and the arts.
Over the past three decades, Arte has grown into a pan-European platform with programming spanning film, music, documentaries, and performance.
It was elected this month at the EBU’s 93rd General Assembly in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Noel Curran, Director General, EBU: “Arte’s dedication to high-quality, cross-border cultural programming complements our collective mission to strengthen and promote public service media across the continent. Their membership of the EBU will enhance our ability to drive innovation and deeper connections across borders, empowering public service media to continue enriching the lives of audiences throughout Europe.”
Arte President (GEIE) Bruno Patino and Arte Vice President (GEIE) Heike Hempel, said: “Joining the European Broadcasting Union is fully in line with Arte’s European identity and its development strategy.
“Arte has been open to Europe since its inception, with the mission of bringing together Europeans through culture. We embrace the ambitions of the EBU to provide strong public broadcasting services across Europe and we look forward to exchanging on the current challenges facing the sector as well as sharing our knowledge.”
