SRF: Change of presenter for "Box Office

Monika Schärer moved from DRS 3 to Swiss television in 1994 and made a name for herself with a wide audience as the presenter of the cultural program "Next", as SRF wrote in a press release on Monday. From 1999, she presented "SF Spezial" programs together with Kurt Schaad. In 2000, she took over as deputy editor-in-chief of the culture magazine "Babylon / Hotel B" and then moved to the travel show "Einfachluxuriös" as a presenter. She worked as a producer and editor at "Glanz & Gloria". In April 2007, Swiss television launched the new knowledge magazine "Einstein" with Monika Schärer as presenter. With the launch of "Box Office" on April 29, 2009, Monika Schärer returned to the culture department. She reported on numerous national and international film festivals for the film magazine and also hosted "The Long Night of Swiss Film".

In future, the presenter wants to concentrate more on her work at her production company Topicfilm. On her new goals, she says: "After 22 years in the limelight, it's time to realize projects in my own company after my training as a fiction producer."

From 28 March 2012, Lory Roebuck will take over from Monika Schärer, initially until the start of the summer program. He has already been part of the program as an Internet expert since the change of slot on February 29, 2012. During this time, SRF will observe how the audience reacts to the further development and adapt "Box Office" if necessary.
