UPC Cablecom must take Joiz onto the analog network
The Federal Administrative Court has dismissed UPC Cablecom's appeal against the broadcasting decision issued by the Federal Office of Communications. UPC Cablecom is therefore required to carry the Joiz television channel on its analog cable network.
The ruling of the Federal Administrative Court confirms the decision of the Federal Office of Communications Bakom from last year and is now finally to be implemented, according to a statement from the youth channel: Joiz is also to be broadcast in analog by UPC Cablecom from the end of 2011 at the latest.
The Federal Administrative Court ruled in favor of the first instance on all relevant points. Cablecom will be obliged to broadcast Joiz on both its digital and analog cable networks for three years. This will provide access to around 700,000 additional households in German-speaking Switzerland.
