The RGB Prize, awarded by the Bern-Deutschfreiburg-Oberwallis Radio and Television Cooperative and worth 5,000 francs, was awarded to the three-hour live broadcast «Durchbruch am Lötschberg" on April 28, 2005.
The Bernese Foundation for Radio and Television has awarded prizes to four programs. The RGB Prize of the Bern-German-Freiburg-Upper Valais Radio and Television Cooperative in the amount of CHF 5,000 was awarded to the three-hour live broadcast "Breakthrough on the Lötschberg" from April 28, 2005, which the jury declared to be of "historical significance". In addition, the team of the TV program "Schweiz aktuell" had achieved an enormous technical and journalistic feat. In addition to the RGB prize, three other programs were awarded CHF 3000 each: The documentary "Der Höhenflug des FC Thun" for Regionaljournal Bern, the report on the rockslide on the Stierenegg above Grindelwald for "Schweiz aktuell" and "Die Retortenstadt La Chaux-de-Fonds" for DRS 2. For over 20 years, the foundation has honored above-average radio and television programmes that deal with topics from the cantons of Bern, Fribourg and Valais or make an important contribution to understanding between German-speaking Switzerland and Romadie.
