New management at Tele and Co. after Geisseler's departure

 
Following Dominic Geisseler’s departure, management at Tele, TV Star, TV2, TV vier, and the Swiss edition of TV Digital will be reorganized. The publications will come under the overall editorial leadership of 39-year-old Editor-in-Chief Gion Stecher. Urs Padel, 55, will become Editor-in-Chief of Tele and, at the same time, Stecher’s deputy. Roger Kuster, 32, will assume the role of second deputy editor-in-chief. The five publications are part of Axel Springer Switzerland’s TV magazine division. As before, they will remain independent in terms of their positioning, content, and design, according to Wednesday’s press release.All three members of the editorial board are already part of the editorial teams for Axel Springer Switzerland’s TV magazines: Gion Stecher was previously editor-in-chief of TV Star, with Roger Kuster serving as his deputy in that role. Urs Padel served as deputy editor-in-chief of Tele, TV2, and TV vier. Axel Springer Switzerland acquired these three titles from Ringier in July 2007. The former editor-in-chief of Tele, TV2, and TV vier, Dominic Geisseler, is leaving the company at his own request and returning to Ringier (See:
