Filippo Lombardi confirmed as President of Telesuisse
The association plans to open its own television studio in the new Federal Media Center in Bern for the benefit of all Swiss private broadcasters.
At its General Assembly, the association of 17 Swiss regional television stations unanimously re-elected the Board of Directors and the President, Councillor of States Filippo Lombardi (CVP/TI), for a two-year term. According to a press release, Telesuisse will in future also accept as associate members those broadcasters that do not meet the association's conditions for regional television. In the new Radio and Television Act, the meeting continued to support a flexible solution of 3 to 5 percent of reception fees as a split for regional broadcasters. The delegates also decided to open a separate television studio for the benefit of all Swiss private broadcasters in the new federal media building in Bern.
