Last but not least: Television and culture
The NZZ am Sonntag puzzled extensively about what is actually going on at Swiss television. On the occasion of Ms. Deltenre's media orientation next week, the NZZ searched for culture on television.
The NZZ am Sonntag puzzled extensively about what is actually going on at Swiss television. On the occasion of Ms. Deltenre's media orientation next week, the NZZ searched for culture on television.
The answer beforehand: even the authors Manfred Papst and Regula Freuler did not really find what they were looking for, and the NZZ is known to employ excellent specialists. This is of course comforting for Otto Jedermann. For how could anyone understand that the extremely popular Sunday soap Lüthi & Blanc would be taken off the air. Without replacement, moreover. The NZZ also shakes its head at this, but it is also the starting point for the real question: Where is culture drifting on Swiss television?
In search of answers, the authors review the difficult and unsteady development of SRG's cultural formats: Does anyone remember Hotel Babylon? Hotel B.? Bondy and Co. B.Magazine? Next? A tiresome thing, this culture. Whether the current Kulturplatz will fare any better with Eva Wannenmacher, an agenda-fixated culture tip generator, is questionable.
Anyone who had previously been puzzled by the allocation of Lüthi & Blanc to culture has been paying close attention. But it's not the author of this text who has trouble with the division of departments. In television, it's like this: TV movies, soaps and sitcoms don't belong to entertainment, but to culture. The literature club, delicacies and horizons, on the other hand, do not, because they belong to the information department. Any questions?
