From January 1, 2008, Swiss television's "Tagesschau" will receive five minutes more broadcasting time. The aim is to create space for more background reports, to have time for more in-depth coverage of the main topics - and above all to be able to include more sports news, as the TV magazine TV-Star reports. This step was decided by the SF management. The change to the existing broadcasting schedule will have consequences for the rest of the evening: in future, prime time will start at 8.05 pm instead of 8 pm.
