The AZ Group is reportedly having difficulties enforcing the compulsory subscription for its new Sunday newspaper. According to a report in the NZZ am Sonntag, many subscribers to the Mitteland newspaper are currently threatening to cancel their subscriptions completely if they have no choice. Peter Wanner, publisher of the AZ Group, had planned to declare the new Sonntag newspaper compulsory for subscribers to his Mittelland-Zeitung. Now they are successfully fighting back: several of those affected - the number of complaints is in the per thousand range, said AZ press spokeswoman Eva Keller - have now been offered a decoupling of the daily and Sunday newspaper. However, the price of 395 francs remains unchanged. It will simply be extended by one month.
