New pool in sight?
The radio stations 24, Top, Zürisee, and Grischa are in talks about forming a new pool.
Radios 24, Top, Zürisee and Grischa are in talks about a new pool, Grischa CEO Hanspeter Lebrument told WerbeWoche. Theodor Gut, Chairman of the Board of Zürisee, explained that it was obvious that a solution would be sought with Grischa and Top this year following the differences over the Powerpool. The Powerpool was launched by 24 and Zürisee in November, but was suspended under pressure from Leaderpool members Top and Grischa.
One thing is certain: If Radio 24 enters into an alliance with Zürisee, the Competition Commission will also have its say. It wanted to know from 24 and Zürisee whether they were cooperating in the advertising market because the new Belcom owner Tamedia could become dominant in the Zurich market. The Competition Commission wanted to prevent this when it demanded that Tamedia sell its Zürisee shares (mk).
