Joiz is distributed in analog
Starting May 23, 2012, UPC Cablecom will also broadcast Joiz via analog signal. In March, the Federal Supreme Court had ordered UPC Cablecom to do so.
"We are delighted about the switchover, as many households in Switzerland still watch analog TV," says Joiz CEO Alexander Mazzara. Joiz will take over the broadcasting slot currently occupied by Bayerischer Rundfunk BR. For the past year, Joiz has been broadcasting a 24-hour program for young Swiss adults. The Federal Court's ruling in March confirmed the decision of the Federal Office of Communications Bakom and the ruling of the Federal Administrative Court. The decision will now be implemented on May 23. Cablecom will be obliged to broadcast Joiz for three years on both the digital (SD and HD) and analog cable networks.
