Sponsors could continue to enable Formula 1 on SRG channels
SRG boss Armin Walpen received some criticism for his decision to remove the broadcasting of Formula 1 races from the program as of 2008 for financial reasons. At best, he would be prepared to broadcast Formula 1 races again if considerable additional income could be generated.
SRG boss Armin Walpen received some criticism for his decision to remove the broadcasting of Formula 1 races from the program as of 2008 for financial reasons. At best, he would be prepared to broadcast Formula 1 races again if considerable additional income could be generated. "If the financial conditions change, this decision can be discussed again," Walpen said in an interview with the NZZ am Sonntag. According to him, sponsors would be one option; however, additional funds would have to be raised.
The SRG decision to remove folk music programs from the DRS 1 program is also controversial. "We don't want to take anything away from anyone, on the contrary," he said. The range of folk music on the music wave should be expanded in terms of quality and quantity.
Walpen had already expressed this view the previous day in an interview with the Bernese daily newspaper Der Bund. On Monday, representatives of the SRG will explain the popular music decision to the Transport and Telecommunications Committee of the National Council, as Walpen told Der Bund.
