The Baselbieter local television station "NW1" ceased its current broadcasting operations at the beginning of the month. A final decision on whether to close the station will be made by Friday. On Friday, the main shareholder Elektra Birseck Münchenstein(EBM) wants to inform the employees in the media. However, the rescue ideas received by Wednesday are insufficient, according to a press release.
The main shareholder had offered the 20 or so employees to take over the station debt-free. The condition was a viable concept and sufficient funds to overcome the lean period. To date, not even a remotely sufficient sum has been received. Without sufficient reserves, however, there is a threat of a liquidity problem.
If no solution is found, the station's employees will be made redundant and the station will be closed at the end of the month. Although there is another proposal from the extended circle of employees, this still needs to be seriously considered. The decisions will be announced on Friday morning.
