SRG SSR concludes two new cooperation agreements with private radio stations

For SRG, these are two further collaborations as part of the increased cooperation with private media companies announced by Gilles Marchand in October 2017. Since the beginning of September, the radio program Friends Service Switzerland the SRF radio news programs simultaneously and in unabridged form. Friends Service Switzerland is a non-profit association based in Riggisberg, Bern, which operates a national, non-commercial radio station registered with Bakom. Radio friends service went on air on March 15, 2016 and can be received throughout Switzerland via DAB+, cable, app, web radio and Astra satellite.

The music radio station of Central Switzerland James FM has also been broadcasting SRF's radio news every hour since the beginning of October. James FM went on air on February 1, 2016 and can be received via DAB+ in Central Switzerland as well as via streaming, cable, SwisscomTV and its own app, as well as the Swiss Radioplayer throughout Switzerland. SRG is delighted about these two new collaborations, which further strengthen its cooperation with the Swiss private media, according to an announcement on Thursday. (ots)
