New director at DRS Musigwälle

Christian Messerli-Montandon will take over the overall management of DRS Musigwälle at the beginning of November 2006 and will also become a member of the program management of Schweizer Radio DRS 1. In this function, Messerli-Montandon succeeds the co-management Christine Gertschen/Thomas Wild. He has held various positions at Swiss Television since 1997. He previously gained radio experience as a presenter, head of presentation and deputy station manager at Radio ExtraBern (now Capital FM) for around 5 years. SR DRS will continue to expand the development of DRS Musigwälle as a complementary program to DRS 1 explicitly in the area of Swiss folk music and folk culture.
