Despite a provisional court injunction on March 13, which was obtained by the minority shareholders, Fabien and Christian Wolfrath have sold their 62 percent stake in Société Neuchâteloise de Presse (SNP) to the French publisher Hersant. Although just two weeks ago there was only talk of a declaration of intent to sell, things have now suddenly become urgent. One reason for this is probably the project to expand the Neuchâtel printing plant, which Hersant wants to finance. The Competition Commission has already approved the takeover, but a civil action by minority shareholders PubliGroupe and Marc Gassmann, who are insisting on their right of first refusal, is still pending.
Tele Züri brings in Markus Gilli Markus Gilli has been program director and editor-in-chief at Tele Züri again since 14 March. When taking over the regional channel from Roger Schawinski last fall, Tamedia had transferred the management to his deputy Peter Röthlisberger.

Gilli could not be reached for comment.
