The winning Allies of World War II determined that German radio after World War II would not broadcast the same propaganda as the pre-war "Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft" ("Reich Broadcasting Company"). A federal structure, the renunciation of state influence and the avoidance of economic dependence were to be the key of the radio and TV institutions under public law ("", public radio and television organisations). The legal form of the new entity was "Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts" ("Institution under Public Law"), a non-government and nonprofit organisation with its own administration under the control of two commissions, the "Rundfunkrat" (Broadcasting Council, responsible for the programmed content) and the "Verwaltungsrat" (Administration Council, responsible for management and infrastructure), in which different stakeholders from German public life were represented.
