The media convergence project is geared towards a more intensive convergence of radio, television and multimedia. According to SRG, in future it should be possible to access program offerings more independently of time, place and reception device. The various media should also complement each other more than before.
The Board of Directors discussed the project again on Thursday and wants to include Suisse romande, Italian-speaking Switzerland and Romansh-speaking Switzerland in its deliberations alongside German-speaking Switzerland. In addition, guidelines for implementation in the regions are to be adopted. However, it has not yet been decided when this will be the case.
