Radu received the green light from both cultural commissions of the Chambers of the Parliament but she was not supported by the Administration Council of TVR which gave its endorsement to another candidate, Monica Ghiurco. However, Ghiurco was rejected by the commissions.

The National Liberal Party contested the approval and said it will appeal to the Constitutional Court. According to Mediafax, Radu sent a message to the employees of SRTV on 10 May 2016 promising to do her best so the public broadcaster becomes respected and loved as it used to be.

In September 2015 Radu was approved by the Romanian Parliament as acting general manager of the Romanian public broadcaster after the rejection of the activity report on 2014 and the subsequent dissolution of the Council of Administration led by the former general manager Stelian Tănase.

Romanian public television which runs several channels (TVR 1, TVR 2, TVR 3, TVR HD, TVR News, TVR i, TVR Moldova and five territorial studios) had a fiscal debt of approximately 103.5m EUR/457 m RON in July 2015, which it had accumulated since 2005.
