Government requests financial injection for Radio Liechtenstein

The government is requesting a national contribution of 1.5 million Swiss francs to finance the operation of Radio Liechtenstein for 2007. Although the restructured state broadcaster is on the road to recovery and is in the black for the first time (see Radio Liechtenstein is in the black), the experience of recent years shows that Liechtensteinische Rundfunk will still not be able to fulfill its statutory mandate in a cost-covering manner. SDA reports that additional funding is therefore required in addition to advertising revenue.
