Decline in profits at TV Production Center Zurich

The turnover of TV Production Center Zurich (TPC) fell from CHF 139.2 million to CHF 135.4 million in 2005. At CHF 0.5 million, the profit was significantly lower than in the previous year, when the television producer TPC reported a profit of CHF 4.7 million. 82 percent of the turnover of TPC, a subsidiary of SRG SSR idée suisse, comes from SRG. 95.1 million francs of turnover comes from Swiss television alone. According to SDA, this figure was around CHF 5 million higher in 2004. The reason for this decline is said to be the pressure to cut costs at Swiss Television. However, turnover with other SRG business units has increased. This also applies to turnover with other Swiss television producers, which increased from CHF 8.6 million to CHF 11.1 million. Business with foreign clients remained constant.
