Eliane Leiser will be in front of the camera as the new presenter of "10 vor 10" from spring. The 38-year-old has been working for SRF for over ten years and has established herself as the voice of Radio SRF 4 News, including as host of the podcast "Einfach Politik" and presenter of the "Samstagsrundschau". She will continue her previous role as domestic editor on a reduced workload. Born in Zurich, she lives with her family in Bern.

"In times when one flashy news story chases the next, it is even more important to look behind the headlines, to classify and analyze them. I am delighted to be able to do this as the presenter of '10 to 10'," says Leiser.

New face for the "Tagesschau" main edition

Monika Schoenenberger joins the team of presenters of the main edition of "Tagesschau". She has been working for SRF since 2012 and has so far presented the midday and 6 p.m. editions as well as special broadcasts on current events such as the war in Ukraine or the storms in Switzerland in 2021. In addition to her new role as presenter, she will remain the producer of the main edition of "Tagesschau".

"As a producer, I am responsible for the content and journalism of 'Tagesschau'. It is a great honor and a pleasure to be able to present Switzerland's most-watched news program," says Schoenenberger.

Head of news sees "great enrichment"

Gregor Meier, Head of TV News at SRF, emphasizes: "I am delighted to have won Monika Schoenenberger and Eliane Leiser, two outstanding news journalists with a strong screen presence, to present the 'Tagesschau' main edition and '10 vor 10'. They will be a great asset to our two flagship news programs."

Eliane Leiser and Monika Schoenenberger are expected to present their respective programs for the first time towards the end of March.
