Arc TV was underestimated, complain its president Sylvio Bernasconi and his deputy Pierre Steulet. Bakom had considered the two applicants to be of equal value. Federal Councillor Leuenberger then preferred Canal Alpha Plus in order to avoid a concentration of media, as Steulet had already been awarded two radio licenses with Arc FM and BNJ FM.
A total of thirteen regional television stations have been awarded a license. They will receive a total of CHF 31.4 million in fee money.
