It gets dark for "day and night"
Swiss Television is not commissioning a second season of the medical series "Day and Night". In a press release issued on Monday, SF writes that the series has not met with the audience interest it had hoped for. According to Rainer Schaper, Head of the Culture Department, the series has lost interest among all audience groups since it was first broadcast.

Last Friday's broadcast still achieved a market share of 16.3 percent or 267,900 viewers, as SF spokesman David Affentranger explained when asked by SDA. In comparison: The first broadcast was watched by 497,000 viewers, which corresponds to a market share of 31 percent.
From January 4, 2009 until the end of the first season, the medical series will be broadcast on Sundays at 6.10 p.m. on SF 1. From January 9, 2009, SF will be showing in-house produced documentary series in the current slot of "Tag und Nacht". Emergency in Davos" will be the first.
The tragedy of the story: the doctor series was recently showered with praise. The critics only criticized the poor sound and - above all - the poor broadcasting slot. Perhaps Swiss television made a somewhat rash decision.
