Is Tele Züri going to Ringier?
For Ringier, the acquisition of the private television station Tele Züri appears to be an option. The media company currently holds 51 percent of the shares in Energy Zürich, and Energy Bern is wholly owned by Ringier.
It is no secret that Ringier is interested in expanding its activities in the TV sector, spokesman Edi Estermann told news agency SDA on Tuesday. However, nothing has been decided yet, he added. "There are several TV stations we are looking at," Estermann said. He did not want to comment specifically on Tele Bärn, but on Capital FM he simply said that the station was "not on our radar at the moment". After all, the company is already well anchored in Bern with Radio Energy.
Ringier already has various holdings: The media group holds 50 percent of Sat1 (Switzerland), 33.3 percent of Teleclub and 35 percent of the production company Grundy Schweiz. In addition, there are Presse TV, Ringier TV Productions and Ringier Web TV.
