Schawinski also disputes concession decision in Südostschweiz
Roger Schawinski and his partners are also challenging the awarding of the license to Radio Grischa for southeastern Switzerland. Their main criticism is the monopoly held by the Southeastern Switzerland Media Group.
Roger Schawinski and his partners are also contesting the award of the concession to Radio Grischa for Südostschweiz. In particular, they criticize the monopoly situation created by the Südostschweiz media group. Schawinski and his partners, who came away empty-handed with the Radio Südost project, announced this on Thursday, according to SDA. The legislator had not wanted to cement monopoly structures with public fee money.
In the opinion of the complainants, significant factors were not taken into account in the case of Radio Südost. The Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) had failed to examine the threat to the diversity of offerings and opinions at all. In addition, several points in the assessment of the so-called input and output factors are objected to.
Schawinski had already appealed the licensing decision for the canton of Aargau to the Federal Administrative Court because he had lost out to the existing Radio Argovia with his Radio AG project. The Zurich radio producer had set out to break the monopolies of the local media houses in both Aargau and south-eastern Switzerland.
