Sven Sarbach becomes successor to SF show boss Toni Wachter

Toni Wachter, the show director of Swiss television, is retiring. He worked for the television station for 38 years. His successor is Sven Sarbach, as reported by the Sonntag newspaper. Although Sarbach has often been seen working alongside Wachter in recent months, few people at Leutschenbach really know him. It is known that Sarbach has done a decent job as a producer of major television programs, the Sonntag continues. The programs "Pisa - Kampf der Kantone", "Music Star" and the Mister Switzerland competition are cited as examples. Trained advertising assistant Toni Wachter, who turns 62 at the end of the year, was responsible for some of the most successful entertainment programs on Swiss television, such as "Die grossen Schweizer Hits" and the "Swiss Award". He has also been responsible for the Grand Prix of Folk Music and the Eurovision Song Contest for many years.
