Gauchat has been responsible for the foundation, development and management of Betty TV for the past two years. He previously worked for Publimedia Webadvertising, most recently as Managing Director. He is taking over the management of the station from Florenz Schaffner.

Under his leadership, the media company's regional stations were able to improve their revenue and audience figures. Schaffner would like to change career direction and is therefore taking on editorial duties for the new Sunday edition of the Mittelland Zeitung. Florenz Schaffner's successor for the electronic media division is still open. Publisher Peter Wanner and Roland Baumgartner, Managing Director of Radio Argovia, are managing this area of Az Medien on an interim basis.
