Bakom puts cable network operators in their regional place
Regionalfernsehsender, die auch über Konzessionsgelder finanziert werden, dürfen nur in ihrem angestammten Sendegebiet ausgestrahlt werden. Die Behörden haben deshalb einen im bernisch-luzernischen Grenzgebiet tätigen Kabelnetzbetreiber angemahnt.
On Wednesday, the spokesperson for the Federal Office of Communications Bakom, Deborah Murith, confirmed a report by the media service Klein Report. The cable network operator Zapp from Worb BE wanted to broadcast Tele Bärn in the canton of Lucerne and Tele 1 (Central Switzerland) and Tele M1 (Aargau) in the canton of Bern. In the Lucerne municipalities served by Zapp, Tele Bärn was switched on a month ago and has already been switched off again. In the case of the canton of Berne, Bakom took action before the channels were definitively included in the service.
