Radio Grischa must await court ruling
Radio Grischa must wait for the final court ruling before it can begin broadcasting under its new license. Schawinski & Co. had filed an appeal against the granting of the license to Radio Grischa: They wanted to launch their competing project, Radio Südost.
The legal battle over the granting of the license to Radio Grischa continues: After Schawinski & Co filed an appeal against the granting of the license to Radio Grischa, Grischa operator Südostschweiz Radio attempted to lift the suspensive effect of the appeal. Without success. The Federal Administrative Court ruled that the Grischa operator must wait for the final ruling before it can broadcast under the new license conditions.
The Federal Administrative Court has come to the conclusion that both applicants have applied for the license "with high-quality applications", as Stefan Bühler, one of the initiators of the competing project Radio Südost, announced. According to the FAC, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the procedure at this stage, which is why the application was rejected. One consolation remains for Radio Grischa: it can continue broadcasting under its old license during the proceedings.
The license granted by the Uvek to Radio Grischa for a further ten years was contested by Chur publisher Stefan Bühler together with Roger Schawinski and Daniel Sigel. They want to go on air with Radio Südost. Schawinski had already appealed the licensing decision in Aargau to the Federal Administrative Court. There, he and his Radio AG project were defeated by the existing Radio Argovia of the AZ Media Group. The appeal proceedings are also still pending.
