"Eishockey aktuell": SRF zwei launches a new ice hockey magazine show
SRF Sport is expanding its coverage of Swiss ice hockey. Starting Friday, September 8, 2017, the new TV magazine «Eishockey aktuell» will follow National League fans through the qualifying round.
All the games, all the goals - "Eishockey aktuell" is all about qualification. In 30 to 40 minutes, the new magazine show focuses on the decisive scenes of the day, provides reactions from the stadiums, analyzes and explains what's happening on the ice. Presenters Jann Billeter and Lukas Studer and anchorwoman Daniela Milanese present the show alternately from the studio in Zurich. Marc Reichert, Mario Rottaris, Kevin Schläpfer, Lars Weibel and Christian Weber take turns as experts.
The new ice hockey magazine is scheduled on weekdays with four or more National League games. A total of 29 editions of "Eishockey aktuell" are planned during the qualifying phase of the coming season. Broadcasting will not start before 10:10 p.m. During weekend rounds, "Sportaktuell" and "Sportpanorama" will report on current ice hockey events as usual. Also unchanged in the program are the live playoff games. In the 2017/18 season, SRF zwei will again show the top game of the day live - from the first playoff round to the last game of the final series.
Roland Mägerle, head of SRF Sport, says in a statement that ice hockey inspires the whole of Switzerland and has therefore always been an important cornerstone of SRF Sport's reporting. With the new magazine, the TV audience would now get a comprehensive service on the pulse of ice hockey.
