New designs and studios for "Schweiz aktuell," "Rundschau" and "Glanz und Gloria

As reported in May, Schweizer Fernsehen is switching various program sections to widescreen (see Schweizer Fernsehen is switching to widescreen). The first program to do so is "Schweiz aktuell". From Monday, August 14, the domestic news from the new studio will be broadcast in 16:9 widescreen format, as well as the first daily news program. Around a week later, "Rundschau" and the entertainment magazine "Glanz & Gloria" will also follow. All three programs will receive a whole range of new features. In the case of "Schweiz aktuell", these include a new signet, a large screen for outside broadcasting and the three monitors on which viewers are given "insights into the very personal living situations of the television audience", as SRG writes. Meanwhile, "Glanz & Gloria" is replacing the virtual decor with a real one, so live conversations are now also possible. The "Rundschau" will continue to focus on current reports, analyses and research, but will become livelier and have more visual depth from August 23. This is to be achieved through a decor with the character of a public square, which better embeds the conversations in the hot seat into the overall broadcast.
