Radio Zürisee: Record sales and more listeners
The private radio station Radio Zürisee posted record revenue of 5.3 million francs last year. At 400'000 francs, profit was slightly below the previous year's figure. Listener numbers showed a positive trend, as Radio Zürisee announced on Wednesday.
Local and regional advertising sales, which rose to record levels, contributed to the good figures. By contrast, revenues from national advertising brokers were down. Radio Zürisee also regularly sold programming services to other stations. The operating result (EBITDA) fell by 14 percent year-on-year to CHF 662,000. The station explained this with higher costs due to the expansion of digital program distribution to DAB+.
Radio Zürisee Werbe AG, which acquires the station's advertising revenues as a sister company, generated sales of around CHF 8 million. This is roughly the same as the previous year's figure.
According to its own data, Radio Zürisee is one of the five strongest private stations in Switzerland. According to Publica Data, a good 220,000 people listened to the station every day in 2013, 7,000 more than in the previous year. Radio Zürisee celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2013. (SDA)
