"Canton XL": Radio X launches German program
Radio X launches the program "Kanton XL", which is aimed at the numerous Germans in Switzerland and aims to build bridges between the two neighbors.
No other country attracts as many Germans as Switzerland. The language and cultural proximity are often cited as arguments. However, in the 10-to-10 edition of August 13, Swiss television reported on the one hand about the decrease in German immigration and on the other hand about increasing returns of Germans to their homeland: Are the two cultures not as close as assumed? How difficult is it for German immigrants to integrate in Switzerland?
According to the press release, the 30-minute program "Kanton XL" takes a humorous and enlightened look at peculiarities in Switzerland and Germany, both in detail and on a large scale. The program addresses similarities and contrasts of both cultures, but also typical Swiss and German objects, rituals or idioms, without pointing fingers. The aim is to strengthen mutual understanding between Germans and Swiss.
With the start of broadcasting on Tuesday, September 3, 2013, Canton XL will be the multilingual program of Radio X, winner of the 2013 Basel Integration Prize (Werbewoche.ch reported), supplement.
