SRG: dispute over online advertising delayed
The dispute over the SRG and its online advertising has been further delayed. The agenda item «Online Advertising: Agreement Between Private Publishers and the SRG» has been removed from the commission’s internal meeting schedule.
The National Council's Telecommunications Committee should have been informed of the Federal Council's decision in the dispute between the publishers and the SRG on Monday. However, the agenda item has now been removed from the meeting plan. There is nothing new to report in the dispute over SRG online advertising, says Martin Dumermuth, Director of the Federal Office of Communications, when asked by the Sonntagszeitung. This means that the decision is still pending with the Federal Council.
Dispute over online advertising
SRG wants to be allowed to advertise on its internet platforms in future. This plan is being opposed by the private media companies. They had until the end of June to reach a compromise with SRG, but failed to do so by the deadline (Werbewoche.ch reported).
