Audience Council assesses SF programs
The SRG Public Council has determined that the distinction between the two channels, SF 1 and SF zwei, is not yet clear enough. The Council concludes that the channels’ distinct identities are well established in terms of both content and format and, with a few exceptions, have been successfully achieved.
The SRG Audience Council believes that the distinction between the two channels SF 1 and SF zwei is not yet clear enough. In terms of content and form, the profiling is well advanced and, with a few exceptions, successful, according to the Council. SF 2 in particular could differentiate itself even more clearly - especially as a sports channel - and, for example, broadcast all direct sports broadcasts on this channel.
In contrast to SF zwei, the program grid of SF 1 has become established: The increased focus on information is welcomed. The investment of resources in primetime is also understandable. At weekends, however, primetime on SF 2 with the block times of PresseTV (PTV) is perceived as unsatisfactory, as it does not correspond to the intended channel image. A different solution for PTV would therefore be desirable.
Finally, the Council also supports the transfer of children's and youth programs to a separate channel, provided that the broadcasting time is better adapted to the viewing habits of children and is suitable for children. As far as repeats of programs are concerned, these should only be shown on the channel where the first broadcast took place.
