SF and Cablecom: "Podcasts" soon on digital TV
Swiss Television's podcast website is becoming increasingly popular. As a result, recorded SF programs will also be available on Cablecom Digital TV starting in the fall of 2009—albeit in higher quality.
More and more Swiss people are watching Swiss television programs available as podcasts on the Internet. The satirical program "Giacobbo/Müller", for example, is now watched by one in five viewers not in the live broadcast but later in the recorded version on the SF Internet portal.
In future, Swiss Television intends to offer its programs not only on the Internet but also via the digital television network of cable network operator Cablecom. The joint venture, known as Catch-up TV, envisages Cablecom recording all Swiss Television's own productions from fall 2009 and making them available for viewing via set-top box.
For those who already use Cablecom's digital service, there will be no additional costs. Repeat programs on SF info will not be affected by the new service, at least not for the next ten years.
