The new television station City Channel 1 goes on air in Meggen on Sunday. The aim is to reach young people between the ages of 14 and 28. At night, the station wants to do without eroticism and quiz shows. Instead, it will show the latest game trailers and broadcast live lan parties, Marc Blind, Managing Director of City Channel 1 operator Blind Media, told the Neue Luzerner Zeitung. In addition, various reports, for example on skydiving, movie making-ofs or smaller open airs from all over Switzerland will be shown. The station can be received in around 2,600 households in the municipality of Meggen as well as online and on cell phones. We will have to wait and see how the program is received, Blind continues. However, he hopes that City Channel 1 will be available via cable throughout Switzerland from the beginning of 2010.
The station will be financed by Blind himself for the first few months. After that, it hopes to generate advertising revenue.
