11th Season of "Business with Love" is Suspended

ATV is temporarily suspending the broadcast of further episodes of "The Business with Love." All episodes of the current 11th season have also been taken offline. The reason is criticism of the reality TV format that emerged last week, claiming the show is misogynistic and sexist. ATV now intends to revise and tighten its internal guidelines and control mechanisms to ensure ethical standards, the private broadcaster announced in a statement.

ATV announces "clearer boundaries"

"We take the criticism seriously and would like to sincerely apologize for having crossed the boundaries of what is ethically acceptable with a series of rightly criticized scenes," ATV CEO Thomas Gruber was quoted as saying. He emphasized that ATV should continue to be a "broadly appealing, provocative, and emotional entertainment channel." "However, we will set clearer boundaries in the future regarding which content is acceptable. Entertainment must not promote inhumane and misogynistic behavior," he stated.

Review of "The Business with Love"

The television station plans to establish an additional editorial quality control for entertainment formats, which will check content for compliance with a guideline in the future. An already existing contact and reporting point will be expanded. Once extended guidelines are in place, the "The Business with Love" episodes will be reviewed, revised if necessary, and then republished.
