Concessions: Tele Säntis criticizes Uvek decision, Radio Südost satisfied

Radio Grischa and Tele Ostschweiz have been granted a provisional license. Radio Südost welcomes this, Tele Säntis regrets the decision.

Radio Südost welcomes the provisional license for Radio Grischa. This is because the interim solution does not create any precedent. However, Roger Schawinski and his team still have their sights set on the main license for the Graubünden/Glarus broadcasting area. The current interim solution is to be welcomed in principle so that Radio Grischa can remain on air, the initiators of Radio Südost write in a statement on their website, according to SDA. For the current proceedings, a solution has been created that offers legal certainty and "does not prejudge the main proceedings". Radio Südost has therefore decided not to appeal the decision to the Federal Administrative Court. They want the main license, says Stefan Bühler from Radio Südost unequivocally.
Tele Säntis regrets decision
Tele Ostschweiz (TVO) has also received a provisional license. In an initial statement, competitor Tele Säntis regrets this decision by the Uvek. According to SDA, Günter Heuberger, Managing Director of Tele Top, criticized the Uvek in a press release, stating that it was unacceptable for a transitional regulation to be issued "without a clear legal basis". This is particularly because the key points of the Federal Administrative Court's ruling have not been clarified. "This includes the threat to the diversity of opinion and offerings as a prerequisite for the granting of a license," said Heuberger.
