Zurich City Council corrects its statement on Radio 1

 On Tuesday, various media, including Werbewoche, reported on the praise with which the Zurich City Council is supporting Roger Schawinski's Radio 1 (see ). His application for a license "bears witness to impressive professionalism and experience", it said, and that Radio 1 should be licensed "in any case".These words from the city council's statement were published on the website of the Federal Office of Communications on Tuesday - but they are not actually what the city council wanted to say. As the NZZ reports, the city government made a mistake: on February 27, it sent a statement with the above-mentioned text to the Federal Office, but later provided a corrected official version. As Nat Bächtold from the presidential department of the city of Zurich told the NZZ, Bakom first published the incorrect version on Tuesday and then the correct version following a tip-off from Zurich. However, the Federal Office failed to inform visitors to the website of this fact.
As a result, there were different reports in the media about the city council's recommendation regarding Radio 1: the corrected version only states that Schawinski's application was "particularly striking" because it could bring some movement into the "more or less deadlocked radio landscape". The NZZ now wonders whether the erroneous action was merely a mishap or an illuminating slip of the tongue.
