The project of a separate television channel for cultural programs and Romansh-language contributions has met with skepticism at SRG. SRG has no possibility of financing a "Helvetisches Arte", said spokesperson Daniel Steiner on Wednesday in response to an inquiry from the newspaper Südostschweiz. Accordingly, there is also no project for a cultural channel. Steiner explained that part of the SRG management team, led by Director General Armin Walpen, will be attending the conference on "arte helvétique - a cultural channel for Switzerland, from quadrilingualism to Idée Suisse" in Bern on Friday, because an interesting topic will be discussed.
