Bakom lowers prices for local broadcasters in Graubünden
The local radio stations Radio Grischa and Radio Engadina will pay less in the future for shared use of Swisscom Broadcast's transmission infrastructure.
In future, local radio stations Radio Grischa and Radio Engadina will have to pay less for the shared use of Swisscom Broadcast's broadcasting infrastructure. The Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) has reduced the prices for the Graubünden stations by 30 percent. The local radio stations had approached Bakom with a corresponding application after Swisscom had terminated the contracts at the end of 2000 and raised the prices for the shared use of the transmission masts and the associated infrastructure. In the first of several pending proceedings, OFCOM has now reduced the prices charged by Swisscom up to the end of 2000 by 30 percent. Swisscom Broadcast can appeal against the decision to the Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC).
