"Politarena" - S1's first in-house production

Together with politician, entrepreneur, and host Filippo Leutenegger, the new private TV station S1 is launching its first political talk show.

The first episodes of "Politarena" will be broadcast twice in the run-up to the federal vote on November 24. The topics will be the 1:12 initiative and the family initiative.

Blocher meets Wermuth

S1 relies on a tried-and-tested format with the Politarena. Two guests debate in the middle of the arena: SVP National Councillor Christoph Blocher and SP National Councillor Cédric Wermuth face each other on the 1:12 initiative. SVP National Councillor Silvia Flückiger and Green National Councillor Yvonne Gilli argue on the family initiative.

Prominent presenter

The former editor-in-chief and Arena presenter Filippo Leutenegger is thus returning to the screen. Leutenegger is a media entrepreneur and National Councillor. He was editor-in-chief of Swiss television. He hosted the discussion program Arena for eight years. Next February, Leutenegger will be running for the presidency of the city of Zurich.
