Regional broadcasters may continue to report from football and ice hockey stadiums
Swiss local television stations may continue to report on football and ice hockey matches, even if SRG has an exclusive right to do so.
The public broadcaster has agreed this with the private stations. The private broadcasters will be allowed to report on football and ice hockey matches for a maximum of three minutes. In return, they will be granted access to the stadiums or may use SRG's exclusive images, as stated in a press release issued by the two parties on Thursday, according to SDA. This agreement is in line with previous practice, from which SRG wanted to deviate.
Although it still made its images available to the local stations, it no longer wanted them to be recorded in the stadium itself without restriction. SRG took its request to the Federal Supreme Court, but was not successful. With the agreement announced on Thursday, the TV stations are implementing the ruling of the highest court.
