Beni Huggel now also involved in the Super League
SRF will kick off the new football season on Sunday, July 19, 2015. Once again, one match per round will be shown live on SRF zwei. New to the team of experts for the Super League is Beni Huggel, who replaces Ludovic Magnin.
SRF zwei is showing the match between FC St. Gallen and FC Lugano to kick off the 2015/16 season. Paddy Kälin hosts the show and collects post-match comments. SRF commentator Dani Kern and pundit Gürkan Sermeter will accompany the match at the microphone. As in 2014/15, Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen will be broadcasting 36 live matches in the new season. Each team will be shown at least once at home and away. "sportaktuell", "sportpanorama" and "sportradio" will also provide comprehensive coverage of the Super League. Radio SRF 3 reports on Saturday from 5.45 p.m. with regular live feeds from all matches; on Sunday afternoon there are regular short feeds from all three matches during the hit parade. From 5.15 p.m., the "Sportmagazin" on Radio SRF 3 summarizes the most important reactions and analyses from all matches.
Beni Huggel also on board in the Super League
Beni Huggel, SRF's Champions League pundit, will also be back in the Super League in the future. The Basel native on his new role: "I'm delighted to be back as a co-commentator and to be able to comment on the action on the pitch." Beni Huggel replaces Ludovic Magnin, who has given up his co-commentator job for family reasons: "The decision was anything but easy for me. I really enjoyed commentating and had a great time with my SRF colleagues. But my family is very important to me, and as a father of four children I want to take my private commitments seriously and devote my free time entirely to them," says Magnin about his decision.
Gürkan Sermeter and Christoph Spycher will continue to be part of the Super League co-commentary team and can be seen and heard alternately.
