Romanian Parliament’s special committees reject national radio’s report

The culture committees of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies yesterday rejected the 2016 activity report of the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Company (SRR), which runs the public radio – Radio Romania. Lucian Romascanu, president of the Senate’s culture committee, came up with the proposal to reject SRR's 2016 activity report. He argued that the company is dealing with excessive centralization in its management, reports local Economica.net. He also mentioned the situation of SRR president and general manager Ovidiu Miculescu, who was declared incompatible with this position after he also held a management position in another state-owned company. The MP added that the national radio should have a new start with a new management. Radio Romania is one of the top radio stations in the country, with some 4.5 million listeners in 2016. editor@romania-insider.com
