Schaffhausen government supports Tele Top's application
In the consultation process regarding the new TV licenses, the Schaffhausen Cantonal Government has come out in support of Tele Top. The regional broadcaster had applied for the Zurich-Northeast Switzerland area and was very pleased with the government’s decision.
The Schaffhausen cantonal government has spoken out in favor of Tele Top in the consultation process for the new TV licenses. The regional broadcaster had applied for the Zurich-North-Eastern Switzerland region and reacted very positively to the government's decision. In a press release issued by the Schaffhausen State Chancellery on Tuesday, it states that TeleZüri is also a good candidate. However, Tele Top is more likely to be considered for the Schaffhausen region, as it is geographically anchored in the Winterthur-Frauenfeld-Schaffhausen area. The government expects Schaffhausen topics not only in the prescribed program window, but also in the main program of the daily news broadcast.
TeleZüri does have a cooperation partner in the event that a license is granted: Schaffhauser Fernsehen would produce the program window for the region. Nevertheless, the Schaffhausen government assumes that TeleZüri will continue to focus on the greater Zurich area. It therefore prefers Tele Top - but would like the broadcaster to seek cooperation with Schaffhausen Television if it is awarded the license.
In a press release, Tele Top expressed its surprise and delight at the government's decision. This was a completely surprising decision that came out of the blue, reacted Tele Top in a press release. Such an attitude was not expected after the years of legal and licensing disputes surrounding Schaffhausen.
They would try to meet the request for cooperation with Schaffhauser Fernsehen. However, Tele Top could not refrain from taking a jab at the potential partner: Tele Top expects from Schaffhauser Nachrichten as the parent company of the potential partner that "the previous politically one-sided statements in cantonal elections and votes (or Federal Council elections) would under no circumstances be given a place in a possible program window of Schaffhauser Fernsehen". The same applies "to weekly broadcasting platforms with a Federal Councillor", which undoubtedly refers to the "Tele Blocher" program, even though Christoph Blocher is now a former Federal Councillor.
There are no problems in Schaffhausen when it comes to radio: Radio Munot and Radio Rasa are applying for the two licenses. The Government Council supports both applications unreservedly.
