Ueli Haldimann, Editor-in-Chief of Swiss Television (SF), is to become Director of Television ad interim. This is what the Board of Directors of SRG Deutschschweiz is proposing to the Regional Council, as announced on Wednesday. The 55-year-old Haldimann would take over from Director of Television Ingrid Deltenre, who is leaving Swiss Television at the end of the year. She will become Director General of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in Geneva at the beginning of 2010. She has been Director of Television since January 1, 2004.
Ueli Haldimann has been editor-in-chief of SF since June 6, 2002 and in this function heads the television information department. He was elected as Deltenre's deputy in mid-January 2004.
The "SRG.D media convergence" project, which provides for the merger of SF and SR DRS, is to be implemented in German-speaking Switzerland from 2011. The plan is for one director to lead the resulting multimedia business unit in future.
The application and selection process to fill the post will begin next October. The position will be advertised publicly, as SRG Deutschschweiz announced on Wednesday.
