Audience Council with mixed opinions on information programs
The SRG Audience Council is very satisfied with the news magazine "Schweiz aktuell", particularly with the reporting from the regions. However, the Council sees potential for development in the "Classe Politique" program.
The SRG Audience Council is very satisfied with the news magazine "Schweiz aktuell", particularly with the reporting from the regions. However, the Council sees potential for development in the "Classe Politique" program.
"Schweiz aktuell" strives to report on peripheral regions and their problems and is no longer so center-oriented, as the Public Council announced on Friday. The moderation team is rated as professional and credible. The linguistic competence and dialect diversity were particularly praised. However, the Council was critical of the interactive form of the box seat, in which viewers are integrated into the program via webcam. Special series such as "Pfahlbauer" were also discussed controversially. These should not be at the expense of current reporting.
The Council also gave a mixed assessment of the political program "Classe Politique". The structure, choice of topics and focus are appealing and presenter Urs Leuthard also performs well. However, the program hardly stands out from its predecessors "Bernerhof Live" and "Galerie des Alpes". In addition, some of the content is so complex that "less committed people" could occasionally be overwhelmed. While the Council liked the interviews with federal councillors, it criticized the information value of the parliamentary roundtable. It was perceived as a "mini-arena", making the program susceptible to party and election campaign rhetoric.
