ARD and ZDF want a higher fee. The fee is for their TV shows. The law says this. The states do not want this. They say: The stations have enough money. It is about 1 billion Euro. The court checks the fight now. The judges decide about the money. A group gave advice. The politics did not follow the advice. ARD and ZDF see a risk for their work. There are plans to save money. The MDR wants fewer crime shows. Actors do not like this. They say: Good stories are lost. The court decides soon.
