Start of transmission for Tele 1
The new Central Swiss regional television station, Tele 1, has been on the air since Monday evening. Tele 1’s programming focuses on news, culture, and regional reporting.
The editor-in-chief of the new channel is Oliver Kuhn. Once a week, he will host the program "Kontrovers" and discuss topics from politics, business and society with guests. The topic of business will now have its own broadcast format. Local news will be on the program every day at 6 pm. The "Fokus" program following the news will feature an interview on the topic of the day. RegioTalk" will continue to be broadcast, albeit in a slightly different format. Tele 1 took over this format from Tele Tell.
A total of 53 employees work for Tele 1, 40 of whom are permanently employed by Central Swiss Television. In order to fulfill Bakom's performance mandate, Tele 1 places great importance on the training of its employees, the broadcaster writes in a press release. For example, they are supervised by experts - including news presenter Franz Fischlin, Urs Leuthard, presenter of "Rundschau" SF DRS and media professional Patrik Rohr. The MAZ is a partner in matters of training and young talent.
CHF 5 million was invested in the technology and a further CHF 4 million in the construction of the Central Switzerland television station. The station's annual budget amounts to a good eight million francs. CHF 2.3 million of this is concession money, the rest has to be earned through advertising money, as Managing Director Bruno Hollenweger emphasizes.
In October 2008, Tele 1 AG, part of the LZ Group, was awarded a license by the Federal Office of Communications (Bakom) to operate a new regional television station in Central Switzerland. The TV station Tele Tell, which belongs to AZ Medien and had previously held this license, was left behind. In April 2009, Tele 1 AG then took over the Tele Tell TV station and with it all employees and the technical infrastructure. An open-plan office and a new news studio were built in the LZ Medien Zentrum in Lucerne.
