Radio stations threatened with legal action over political advertising
Im Abstimmungskampf um das autonome Berner Kulturzentrum Reitschule wird der Ton schärfer: Der Bund der Steuerzahler von SVP-Grossrat Thomas Fuchs droht Radio- und TV-Stationen mit einer Klage, wenn sie Songs der CD «Reitschule beatet mehr» ausstrahlen.
No excitement for local radio stations
Fuchs' threat did not cause a stir at the two Bernese local radio stations Energy and Capital FM. Capital FM editorial manager Bettina Studer told the SDA news agency that her station does not broadcast the songs of the station in question. They did not fit into the concept. However, the CD in question had been mentioned in a program - in which the editors had also allowed the riding school opponents to have their say. "We strive for equal treatment." Nik Eugster, program director of Radio Energy Bern, said the same thing. This radio station does not include the songs in its playlist either. But after "Müslüm" was a guest in the studio, Erich Hess was also allowed to speak on Radio Energy.
