Lebrument considers sale of two daily newspapers
Publisher Hanspeter Lebrument is stepping up the pressure in the dispute over a license for his Radio Grischa. He is threatening to shut down the daily newspapers Bündner Tagblatt and La Quotidiana.
Should Bakom determine that Südostschweiz Medien has an abusive dominant market position, Lebrument is considering selling the two daily newspapers. In this way, Lebrument wants to ensure that Radio Grischa receives the license from the federal government and can continue to operate. This is according to Süedostschweiz am Sonntag.
Following a decision by the Federal Administrative Court in December, OFCOM must re-examine the awarding of licenses for Radio Grischa, among others. In particular, it will examine whether the applicants under consideration jeopardize the diversity of opinion and offerings. In its deliberations, the Federal Administrative Court found that the
Südostschweiz Medien has too many daily newspapers.
According to Süedostschweiz am Sonntag, the publisher even expects the two daily newspapers to be discontinued because it will be difficult to find a new sponsor. Internally
has already started planning a single-title system. With the
step, Lebrument wants to ensure that Radio Grischa receives the
concession and can continue to operate.
