Deutschlandfunk announces radical program restructuring effective November 30, 2026 (faz.net)

• Several established shows will cease on November 30, 2026.
• Long 'drive time' blocks will replace the current thematic schedule.
• Intendant Raue and Program Director Teichmann are leading the reform.

"Deutschlandfunk will replace several long-running thematic programs with long 'drive time' blocks on November 30, 2026, as part of a digital transformation. The reform, championed by outgoing Intendant Stefan Raue, faces criticism that it risks alienating core listeners and undermining the station's public service identity."
