The current budget is not capable of covering the investments required to adapt the structure to digital evolution, or studies used to analyse the audience and their habits in a constantly changing country. For 2020, the sum of 6.6 million euros was put aside in the state budget for radio.
Officials of 100,7 said in a statement they were pleased that Prime Minister and Minister of Media Xavier Bettel continued to support the importance of public and independent radio, and that he had invited them to participate in the radio orientation debate.
At the end of 2018, the editor-in-chief of the public service had expressed concerns over the government's nomination of Laurent Loschetter, a close relation of Xavier Bettel, to the presidency of the board of directors of the radio, as there were worries this could affect the radio's independence. Officials said a specific law could help to strengthen this independence.
The grievances were signed by the board of directors, the management and the main department heads of Radio 100,7
