SF: New lunchtime magazine planned
SF is planning a major lunchtime news program. The lunchtime magazine is intended to be a mix of news and longer features and will last up to an hour and a half.
A test recording has already been made. Sonntag knows this from "reliable sources". Mario Grossniklaus, who has presented "Tagesschau" since 2010, is said to have hosted the magazine.
With the new magazine, SF wants to appeal to those viewers who spend their lunch break at home, according to Sonntag. SRF was cautious when asked, but confirmed the idea. Spokesperson Martin Reichlin told Sonntag: "The TV editorial team is indeed considering a new lunchtime magazine". However, no concrete decisions have yet been made regarding content, moderation or implementation.
