Thomas Brezina Shuts Down Production Company KidsTV After ORF Separation

"For me personally, this is a particularly difficult moment," wrote Thomas Brezina to his employees, according to "Standard." "I was allowed to work for ORF for 40 years - and founded KidsTV 20 years ago on behalf of ORF. Now this collaboration is coming to an end."

ORF: Collaboration with Brezina's production company ended due to realignment in children's programming

The production company is owned by the TKB Private Foundation, which decided to dissolve KidsTV "after very careful consideration and many discussions." "As part of a content and budgetary realignment in ORF's children's programming, the previous collaboration with KidsTV unfortunately could not be continued," it was stated in an ORF release on Monday. The decision was "not easy," as Brezina "shaped the children's program like no one before him, his characters and stories now delight generations of children," emphasized ORF Director General Roland Weißmann. He hopes "that our shared story is only interrupted and not yet fully told."
