Schaffhausen government advocates its own TV coverage area
The cantonal government of Schaffhausen is calling for a separate Schaffhausen TV coverage area. It therefore rejects the federal government's proposal to assign the canton of Schaffhausen to the Zurich coverage area.
The cantonal government of Schaffhausen is calling for a separate Schaffhausen TV coverage area. It therefore rejects the federal government's proposal to assign the canton of Schaffhausen to the Zurich coverage area.
The federal government's proposal weakens the independent region of Schaffhausen, as the government states in its consultation with the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC). Only a separate coverage area would enable a TV program that takes into account the characteristics of this region.
If the Federal Council does not grant Schaffhausen its own TV coverage area, the cantonal government wants an information window to be set up for the canton of Schaffhausen. In addition, Schaffhausen must also be taken into account in the remaining coverage. However, sufficient, earmarked funds would have to be made available for the information window. The fee money allocated to the Zurich region coverage area would have to be used for this.
Double supply
Under no circumstances should these funds be used to finance television for the powerful economic metropolis of Zurich, the cantonal government emphasized. He also called for a dual supply for the canton of Schaffhausen. Although Schaffhausen primarily has strong economic and cultural links with Zurich, it also has strong links with Winterthur and eastern Switzerland. A territorial overlap with the coverage area of Eastern Switzerland was therefore appropriate.
The Government Council is also demanding that the coverage area of Radio Munot be extended to include the entire district of Andelfingen. The second important commuter axis Schaffhausen-Eglisau-Bülach should also be included in the coverage area of Radio Munot. Finally, the government supports DETEC's proposal for a license for Radio RaSa.
