U1 TV on a high thanks to SVP
Shortly before Cablecom U1 TV switched to the analog network, the station managed to set a new ratings record, it reported on Monday: The live broadcast of the SVP Albisgüetli conference drew 200,000 viewers to their TV sets.
On Monday, Cablecom moved the TV channel U1 TV to the digital service. Nevertheless, U1 TV was able to say goodbye with a ratings record: the live broadcast of the SVP Albisgüetlitagung on Friday attracted 200,000 viewers, which equates to a market share of 3.7 percent. The market share over 24 hours was 1.1 percent. U1 TV has thus set itself apart from all other Swiss private broadcasters. The broadcaster has no intention of giving up: in addition to digital distribution, U1 TV will remain on the analog network with some smaller network providers even after Cablecom's withdrawal. The final ruling of the Federal Administrative Court is also still pending, but the forecasts for a return to Cablecom's analog service do not look rosy.
