SRG closes the 2006 financial year with a deficit. The loss amounted to CHF 25 million (previous year: CHF 1 million).

than in the previous year. According to SRG, operating income rose slightly by 0.6% in the past financial year and amounted to CHF 1.5 billion. An increase is mainly noticeable in commercial income.
