Two directors leave La Télé in French-speaking Switzerland
The Vaud-Fribourg private broadcaster La Télé is losing two directors, namely program director Thierry Bovay and finance director Lionel Capt, both of whom want to change careers.
Philippe Sordet, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vaud-Fribourg TV, confirmed that the departures had nothing to do with each other, as reported by the French-speaking Swiss radio station RSR on Monday. Bovay and Capt, together with editor-in-chief Fathi Derder and CEO Christophe Rasch, form the company's management quartet. La Télé was created in mid-2009 from the merger of the former Vaud regional broadcasters ICI TV, Canal Nord Vaudois and TVRL and has 800,000 potential viewers, according to its own figures. It is mainly supported by Edipresse and the publisher of the Fribourg daily newspaper La Liberté.
