ORF Managers Earn High Salaries.
The Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) paid large salaries to several executives. The head of business development received 469,000 euros. Other high-level managers also received over 400,000 euros annually.
ORF executives’ salaries are a concern. They are higher than salaries at BBC and Bayerischer Rundfunk. The ORF director’s pay is high compared to other German public broadcasters. However, it is lower than salaries at Swiss companies. This raises questions about how much public broadcasters pay their leaders.
