Manuela, a television host at local Maribor station RTS.

Slovenia has four major national television broadcasters (two public, two private) but nearly three dozen local ones. And that’s where the real action is.

Case in point: This video. [2 MB] It perfectly illustrates the dangers of working for low-budget (or no-budget) television. I’m almost ashamed at how much it made me laugh.

See also: Chaos at Pink TV for the Serbian version of a somewhat similar situation.

(Thanks Mitja!)

    And this is heppening in my town … oh no …By the way, RTS
    MB is not a low-budget (or no-budget TV).  It’s one of the bigest
    (or The bigest) regional TV stations in Podravje. Years ago it was a
    part og POP TV.

    I don’t know. I watch RTS occasionally and it doesn’t really strike me as
    having high-quality production values. Then again, I will gladly admit
    that it’s a league above other regional stations like MetkaTV, or
    whatever that one is called. (The one where they play music and then run what
    looks like a Windows screensaver.)

    You mean, working on radio station is safer? But this is still funny. If this was America, she could be the richest slovenian caster …

    While this bit was hilarious, I empathize not with the hostess of the
    program, but with the producer of this show.   What will
    he/she do for an encore of this performance?  Will the floor open
    up and swallow the hostess?   Will the chairs slowly
    deteriorate in front of our eyes?  Hey, second-rate tv is tough
    work!

     Heh, now that was funny. But I have to wonder - what were they talking about? Was it so boring that even the decoration panels couldnt take it any longer?

    Hm… Mike, that’s from someone actually working in the very
    building RTS is produced in… what will your employer say about that?
    :) Btw.. great concert yesterday. I wanted to say hi, but
    you were to busy throwing t-shirts into your audience, so i went to get
    a drink. :>

    OT, but watching the news yesterday I noticed yet another example of
    the perennial confusion between Slovakia and Slovenia. The Slovakian
    embassy in Baghdad was attacked by a suicide bomber (Slovakia has about
    a hundred soldiers serving in Iraq), and an American soldier speaking
    to reporters at the scene called it the Slovenian embassy.

    I think, this site must grow. A forum would be much needed.

    Thanks for the great clip, poor Manuela! I liked what she said about
    her hard head! it was cute. Thanks for running ‘The Man Who Hates
    Interuptions’ and the Pink TV one. Balkans TV is fun, I have seen some disasterous make-up. I
    wish I’d had a way to preserve an interview I watched in April of 2001
    with the then new American ambassador to Croatia, there was this
    translator who was really hot looking except that on TV her hair looked
    WAAAY too red. She was a wonderful translator, I mean I watched how
    well she did translateing, and so on, but her extremely red hair
    cracked me up and also my fiance. Further it almost looked to me like
    the ambassador was very attracted to her. He was being a gentleman
    about it, he’s married I’m sure nothing came of it. But my fiance and I
    and indeed the whole selo talked about that interview for DAYS because
    of how red her hair looked and because of how attracted the new
    ambassador seemed to be to the translator.

    Oh there’s much more SI-SK mess than what’s published here, e.g.:
    - Delo reported that when each cardinal was shown before
    entering the conclave, TV Vatican said that archbishop of Toronto is of
    Slovakian origin.- At the recent EC in gymnastics in Debrecen Pegan and Petkovšek were presented as Slovaks-
    ANSA (Italian press agency) first reported that there were 2 Slovene
    victims in the tunnel accident, then they said 1 Slovene and 1
    Slovakian, and in the end there were just 2 Slovaks…
