Gerkens Removed From Top RTL Post
RTL Group regional vice-president Andreas Rudas has been named temporary CEO of RTL Hungary, effective immediately. Incumbent Dirk Gerkens, who has run RTL Hungary since 2001, has been offered a senior position within the RTL Group.

The RTL Group intends to appoint a local Hungarian to be the new head of operations in Hungary in order to strengthen links with Hungarian society.

That person could be programming director Péter Kolosi. The weekly Figyelõ reported in early February that Gabriella Vidus is also a possible CEO.

Vidus is head of R-Time media, which sells advertising time on RTL Klub and its related channels.

Both Kolosi and Vidus will be deputies to Rudas, HVG reported.
