Bakom complains about unauthorized advertising on the "Weather Channel"

The "Weather Channel" on SF1 violates legal advertising and sponsorship regulations with advertising messages from tourist destinations. This is the conclusion reached by the Federal Office of Communications (Bakom) and, in a decision on Wednesday, demands a correction from the SRG, as reported by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung on Friday. Advertising messages from Swiss and Austrian tourist destinations were broadcast at the same time as the weather information. SRG must restore the legal situation by the middle of the year. Bakom will not collect the annual income of CHF 220,000.
