TV presenter and editor-in-chief of Radio e Televisiun Rumantscha (RTR), Mariano Tschuor, is flirting with the director's post at RTR. He wants to continue the work of RTR director Bernard Cathomas, who will retire in spring 2009 (see ). Tschuor is said to have returned to Zurich five years ago with this goal in mind. He told the Sonntag newspaper: "I have never made a secret of the fact that I am interested in this position." He has worked for SRG for 25 years, knows the company inside out and has implemented significant innovations together with Cathomas in recent years. In addition to Tschuor, two other names are mentioned in Sonntag as favorites for the post: Scuol municipal president Jon Domenic Parolini and cantonal school principal Gion Lechmann.asked about his chances of being elected, Tschuor told Sonntag: "I really don't know." And if he doesn't get the position of director, he will have to have a very serious discussion with himself and think about what to do next.
