The SRG Audience Council gives the two television programs "Puls" and "Sportpanorama" as well as the radio station DRS 4 News good marks. However, it also makes suggestions for improvement for all three.
In a statement on Monday, the Public Council described the health magazine "Puls" on SF 1 as comprehensible, informative and entertaining. It is a credible source of advice. The topics are carefully researched and presenter Nicole Westenfelder performs her task with aplomb. Some Council members suggested that representatives of other medical and paramedical professions should also be invited as discussion partners instead of mainly doctors. Prevention could also be given a higher priority and more critical questions asked in the interviews.
According to the Audience Council, the "Sportpanorama" on SF 2 is not only informative, up-to-date and professionally produced, but also entertaining. The makers have succeeded in striking a balance between topicality and background. The Council particularly emphasizes the competent performance of the presenters, but regrets that there is no woman in the team. Some members of the Audience Council were annoyed by the fact that reports on football and ice hockey matches were so dominant. Too many sports are only covered when a major event is on the agenda.
Finally, the still young radio station DRS 4 News inspires many audience members. In its first year of broadcasting, it has become the preferred station for some and an indispensable news source for others. It has been able to sharpen its profile and today offers fast, up-to-date and reliable information. Another strength is the mix of topicality and background reports.
The audience council paid special tribute to the moderation. It was not only competent, but also understandable, fresh, natural, flexible and factual. The reporting from French and Italian-speaking Switzerland is a real pioneering achievement. The Council sees potential for improvement in strengthening the reporting from French-speaking Switzerland.
