The government in Vaduz wants to make a special contribution to the state broadcaster Radio Liechtenstein. This is intended to finance investments in infrastructure. Parliament will now decide on the grant of 458,000 Swiss francs.
The money will be used to renovate two broadcasting studios and improve coverage in the municipality of Balzers with a small transmitter, the Department of Transport and Communications announced on Wednesday. The sponsor, Liechtensteinischer Rundfunk, is unable to raise sufficient funds for the investments.
Also on Wednesday, the government passed the 2009 budget for the radio station to parliament. The budget anticipates expenditure of CHF 3.38 million and income of CHF 1.915 million. Thanks to the state contribution of CHF 1.5 million, the bottom line is a small surplus of CHF 35,000.
