The Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) has announced the main topic for media research in 2009. It is investigating how private
radio and TV stations must meet the requirements of the license with their information programming.
Private broadcasters must provide a public service at local level and, in particular, observe the diversity requirement. The performance mandate obliges them to provide a daily program that informs about the political, economic and social context and contributes to the development of cultural life in the coverage area.
The analysis of private radio and television stations complements the one that has been carried out at SRG since 2008. A representative survey of the audience is also to be carried out. Applications for contributions must be submitted by February 28. The cost ceiling for the radio and television analyses is CHF 150,000 each. The studies are to be carried out in 2009 and 2010, but an extension is not ruled out. The first results are to be presented in summer 2010.
