Audience Council: Economy on a high, entertainment in the basement
The Public Council is generally satisfied with the programming of public broadcasters, though there is still room for improvement. «Zart oder Bart?» has «room for growth»; the business magazine «Eco» is professional but not critical enough; and the «DRS3 Wirtschaft» segment is informative but too focused on the stock market.
The audience council is largely satisfied with the public broadcaster's programming, but there is still room for improvement. "Zart oder Bart?" is "capable of development," the business magazine "Eco" is professional but too uncritical, and the section "DRS3 Wirtschaft" is informative but too stock market-heavy.Schweizer Fernsehen's new in-house creation "Zart oder Bart?" was perceived by the audience council as a program with development potential that would find its audience. In a communiqué, the councilors expressed the desire for better moderation and a generally livelier, funnier and more challenging quiz show.
According to the audience council, the launch of the SF business magazine "Eco" has been a success. The new program is praised as professional, varied and easy to understand. Complex topics are presented in a differentiated way that is understandable even for laypeople, thanks in part to the use of informative graphics and the competent moderation of Reto Lipp. "Eco" focuses on Swiss topics and is well on the way to developing its own profile. However, some council members felt that the length of the individual contributions was at the upper limit. In addition, the desire for more persistence and more critical inquiries was expressed.
The business sections on DRS 3 convinced the audience council for the most part. The economy was brought closer to the layperson in an understandable way, without seeming banal to experts. Despite the shortness of the programs, the information content was great. The chosen question-and-answer format, which consists of a dialogue between the presenter and the two business editors, was particularly well received. This allows the content to be conveyed to the audience in a relaxed and refreshing manner. However, some council members find the program too stock market and financial market-heavy. They recommend more reports about Swiss companies, about small and medium-sized enterprises, and information about the economy and the labor market.
