Part-time jobs for TV presenters soon no longer particularly profitable?
In the future, Swiss television hosts will be required to turn over a portion of their income from side jobs. This is what Federal Councilor Moritz Leuenberger wants.
Leuenberger is expecting a regulation regarding presenters' income payments to SRG, as his spokesperson Dominique Bugnon confirmed to Beobachter.ch. News presenters in particular are hired by companies for PR events that they would otherwise report on as journalists. The question now is whether the presenters derive personal benefit from the market value they build up through their TV presence, the observer continued. After all, the market value of the presenters is added value financed by the license fee. Now the presenters should no longer be allowed to put their additional income in their own pockets.
