Radio Freiburg makes a profit again

The station closed the 2015 financial year with a profit of CHF 60,038, as Radio Fribourg/Freiburg announced on Wednesday. This is the sixth profit in a row. In previous years, the company was able to build up provisions amounting to 1.25 million francs. This means that the financing of the new premises in the Mediaparc in Villars-sur-Glâne is practically secured, the station writes in its press release. In the Mediaparc, Radio Fribourg/Freiburg plans to share space with the Fribourg studio of La Télé Vaud-Fribourg TV and the internet magazine Sept.Info. The planning work is well advanced. The project will soon be put out to public tender.

With the result achieved in 2015, the station can enter a profit carried forward of 362,110 francs in its balance sheet. A sum that could prove to be very helpful in offsetting any market fluctuations in the coming months, as the managers of Radio Fribourg/Freiburg continue to write. Cost management remains a top priority. Caution is also required for the current financial year, the radio managers warn. For the time being, the figures for the first few months do not yet confirm the positive trend of the previous year. Radio Fribourg/Freiburg has been on air since 1988 with a German and a French program. According to its own figures, the station generates a turnover of over eight million francs and has around 155,200 regular listeners. (SDA)
