Tagesschau": SRG examines reintroduction of commentaries

SRG management is considering reintroducing the controversial format of commentary segments in news programs.

In 2006, the then director of television Ingris Deltenre removed the editor-in-chief's commentaries from the "Tagesschau" program without replacing them. SRG is now considering reintroducing the commentary format. At the end of October, the Swiss-German Regional Council, in the presence of Director General Roger de Weck and Rudolf Matter, submitted a corresponding proposal to the Regional Board. According to Tagesanzeiger.ch, this is contained in the newsletter for SRG members. Matter will now clarify whether regular commentaries should become standard in the SF information section. The regional board will then decide.
The SRG Regional Council's demand is supported by the Audience Council, as Tagesanzeiger.ch reports. In the "Program evaluation" report, the 26-member committee regrets that hardly any commentaries can be found on SF.
