They will succeed Pascal Schmitz, Roger Aebli, Monika Schoenenberger and Angélique Beldner. Pascal Schmitz took over as presenter of "Schweiz aktuell" in March 2025 and Roger Aebli will become a television correspondent in New York from summer 2025. Monika Schoenenberger has been on the main edition of "Tagesschau" since April 2025 and Angélique Beldner will take over editorial duties in the SRF newsroom from the middle of the year.
