Anna Maier leaves SRF
Anna Maier, presenter and producer at "Schweiz aktuell", is leaving Swiss Radio and Television at the end of the year. She will be taking on a new challenge in the private sector.
39-year-old Anna Maier can look back on 20 years of experience as a journalist. After six years as a news and talk presenter on Tele 24 and TeleZüri, she switched to entertainment in 2004. At SRF, she presented the travel show "einfach/luxuriös", her own quiz show "Eiger, Mönch und Maier" and, together with Sven Epiney, "Die grössten Schweizer Talente". From 2008, Maier was a presenter on Radio SRF 3 and later also hosted the discussion program "Focus". She has been working for the news program "Schweiz aktuell" since October 2014, and has also been a producer since this year.
Anna Maier will be leaving SRF at the end of the year. From 2017, she will become Head of Marketing and Communications at OYM (On Your Marks), an internationally oriented athletics and research center for top athletes that is being built in Cham ZG.
Anna Maier: "In 20 years in television, half of which I spent at SRF, I worked on countless exciting projects as an editor, presenter and producer. A dream job. However, as a single mother of three children, I now want to set priorities and am looking forward to taking on a new exciting challenge in the private sector, which will give me great flexibility."
Basil Honegger, Editorial Director of "Schweiz aktuell": "I am very sorry to lose Anna Maier, a very experienced presenter and good producer. She was always an important pillar of the 'Schweiz aktuell' editorial team. We look forward to seeing her on screen again at the end of the year. We wish her all the best and every success in her new position and this new phase of her life."
Anna Maier's successor is still open and will be announced in due course.
