Since the show is produced by the Group's subsidiary Wetter.com, the moderation was previously in High German, according to a statement. With immediate effect, Munich-based Swiss Leila Grolimund has been recruited to present the show in Swiss dialect.

Wassmer, who was previously responsible for the marketing of the Scout24 Group as Managing Director of Omnimedia, will further develop the "Intermix Marketing" approach in sales and customer support at Web2com, according to a press release. The federally certified marketing manager has been active in the online business since 1997, both on the customer side and in the classifieds sector and for marketers.
In order to expand its expertise in "Intermix Marketing", Web2com has brought seven new team members on board in recent months. The agency has thus decisively strengthened the areas of sales, consulting, customer services and campaign management and successfully completed an initial recruiting phase as part of the realignment communicated in June.

This shows rural regions disproportionately often and neglects the cities and agglomerations. Leuenberger does not think much of the SRG's justification that city dwellers would rather watch a traditional costume girl in the evening than the traffic jam at Gubrist. It should not be forgotten that three out of four Swiss live in cities and conurbations, said the Federal Councillor.
Leuenberger also sees an imbalance between urban and rural areas in politics, for example in transport policy. The greatest traffic congestion is not at the Gotthard, but in the cities, he said. Before we start talking about a second tunnel at the Gotthard because of the summer vacation traffic, it would be better to discuss how the daily traffic jams in the agglomerations can be managed.

Pfister is in the process of further sharpening its positioning, according to a press release.

With the exception of one early retirement, the cutbacks are being made through redundancies for economic reasons, said Managing Director Daniel Merkel on Tuesday, according to SDA, in response to information from the Comedia trade union. Merkel, who is also a member of BZM's group management, justified the cutbacks mainly in advertising printing with the price collapse and lower demand.

Until the end of 2007, the consumer magazines Ktipp and Saldo as well as the magazines K-Geld, Gesundheitstipp, Haus & Garten and the radio magazine from the Konsumenteninfo publishing house were transported by Swiss Post at preferential rates. Following the revision of the Postal Act, Swiss Post rejected the requests for price reductions.
Rightly so, as the Federal Administrative Court has now also confirmed, according to SDA. According to the ruling from Lausanne, the preferential tariff may only be granted to organizations that are not profit-oriented. This presupposes that a membership relationship exists between the publisher and the recipient.
Contrary to the opinion of the lower court, this should not be ruled out in the case of Konsumenteninfo simply because it is a public limited company. However, the decisive factor is that Konsumenteninfo does not deliver its publications for a membership fee, but for a subscription fee.

Publicitas' marketing mandate for the Zurich regional newspapers will be taken over directly by Tamedia from January 2011, including all daily newspapers and advertisers involved.
The decision is one of the consequences of the swap of the NZZ Media Group's regional newspaper holdings with Tamedia in the cantons of Thurgau and Zurich, which was announced in April. The Thurgauer Zeitung will be marketed by Publicitas in future.
"Despite this decision, we are looking ahead and are now concentrating on realigning our market presence and market development in the Zurich area," said Astrid Gartenmann, Zurich Branch Director at Publicitas.

Haldimann has decided not to return to the position of editor-in-chief, writes Schweizer Radio (SR) in a press release on Friday afternoon. Haldimann himself explains in an internal SF letter, which is available to the news agency SDA, that he had been assured that he would be able to take on the role of TV editor-in-chief again at the end of his interim position. Matter has now "clearly expressed" that he wants to fill the position with a new person.
In this situation, Haldimann says, he decided not to insist on his promised return. Working with the regional director and the new management would not be very promising under the current circumstances. According to the 56-year-old, he will decide what he wants to do in the future over the next few months.
From 2002 to 2009, Haldimann was SF Editor-in-Chief and Head of the Information Department. He was also Deputy Director of Television from 2004 to 2009.
