SRG's Rhaeto-Romanic radio and television must look for a new director by next year: Director Bernard Cathomas will reach retirement age for SRG management members this year and will hand over his position in April 2009. The position will be advertised for a new appointment. Last year was a successful one for Radio e Televisiun Rumantscha, according to its own figures. The broadcasts in the fourth national language attracted greater attention. According to a survey, Radio Rumantsch set a record among Romansh speakers in 2007. The station achieved a 57 percent share of the general audience. The market share for the broadcasting area of Romansh-speaking Switzerland rose from 14 to 18 percent.
Rhaeto-Romanic television programs are watched by 60 percent of the Romansh-speaking population. The number of viewers who watch television programs on the SF Info channel has grown. An important innovation took place in February of this year: for the first time since the introduction of the fourth broadcasting chain for Svizra Rumantscha around 24 years ago, Radio Rumantsch is broadcasting a program around the clock.
No solution has yet been found for the expansion of Televisiun Rumantscha's broadcasting time, as the company in Chur announced on Thursday. The plan to broadcast on the planned new children's channel failed because SF is not realizing this channel.
