Zurich FDP National Councillor and former TV editor-in-chief Filippo Leutenegger is planning a comeback at SRG. As the Sonntag newspaper writes in its latest edition, he is standing for election as "Super Director" - the CEO of the merged radio and television company. This is a challenging and highly interesting task, Leutenegger told the Sonntagspublikation. He is also said to have signaled his willingness to give up his seat on the National Council. The two offices are not compatible. Leutenegger wants to strengthen radio and television in terms of journalism and make them more efficient.
There is also news regarding the election of the interim head of Swiss Television: the new director will not be elected next Thursday as planned, but on July 9. Sunday also knows the reason for the postponement: the regional council, which originally only wanted to elect the new radio director on June 18, was surprised by Deltenre's resignation last week. In order to avoid having to schedule two election meetings and to avoid violating any regulatory deadlines, the SF and radio directors will now be appointed together in July.
