Tele 1: New presenter for "On the Road
Starting next year, Fabienne Bamert will be the new face of «Unterwegs.» The 27-year-old host will travel through Central Switzerland for the popular Sunday evening show, taking over from Kurt Zurfluh.
Zurfluh has hosted the show for the past two years. Bamert has already presented several popular culture programs on the Central Switzerland TV station, including the live broadcasts of the Central Switzerland Wrestling Festival and the recently aired extra program "s'9 Bruuchtom". In addition, the 27-year-old presenter regularly appears in front of the camera for the Fastnachts broadcasts and is well-known in the region as the presenter of the "News" and "Sports" programs. Before Bamert took up her position at Tele 1, she worked for the Zug press and Radio Central.
With the change of person, the show "Unterwegs" also gets a content relaunch without changing the basic idea of the show. Bamert travels through the Tele 1 broadcast area and presents its diversity. Places in Central Switzerland and the people who belong to them are brought closer to the television audience. "Fabienne Bamert is a stroke of luck for Central Switzerland Television," comments Adriano Gerussi, Editor-in-Chief of Tele 1, and adds, "With her, we have a homegrown presenter who virtually embodies the basic idea of our program - local folk culture with its multifaceted shades."
The previous "Unterwegs" presenter Kurt Zurfluh is leaving the show at his own request after two years. "I had a very good time and felt very comfortable with Central Switzerland Television and the broadcasting medium that suited me," says Zurfluh. The 66-year-old will continue to appear on Central Switzerland Television for special programs in the future.
