Glarus government dissatisfied with Tele Südostschweiz
In the opinion of the Glarus government, Tele Südostschweiz’s application for a license to provide service to the canton of Glarus does not meet the requirements. It is therefore requesting that the bidding process be restarted.
In the opinion of the Glarus government, Tele Südostschweiz's application for a license to supply the canton of Glarus does not meet the requirements. It is therefore requesting that the tender be reopened. Only one application has been received for the TV coverage area in which Glarus is located, that of Chur-based Tele Südostschweiz. It is viewed very critically by the Glarus government. The cantonal executive is therefore calling on Bakom to retender.
The performance mandate of the concession includes a program window for Glarus. Tele Südostschweiz, which belongs to Hanspeter Lebrument's Südostschweiz Mediengruppe, wants to integrate this into the news program for the entire region. However, it is "simply wrong" that the population has had good experiences with this, writes the government. Even such important events as last November's extraordinary Landsgemeinde are only reported on after news of minor traffic accidents or even more insignificant events in Graubünden.
In addition, the invitation to tender was issued incorrectly. According to the government, it would have been wiser to follow their suggestion: It called for an overlap between the Zurich and south-eastern Switzerland licensing regions. The government is requesting that Bakom cancel the tender for the television licenses, carry out the overlap and put them out to tender again in both regions.
On the other hand, the executive was satisfied with the radios: with Radio Zürichsee and Radio Central, Glarus has two strong, rooted regional radio stations. The best performance is provided by Radio Zürichsee.
