Roger Schawinski also wants to operate a private station in south-eastern Switzerland, having already announced his plans for radio stations in Zurich and Aargau. Together with Stefan Bühler and Patrick Vogt from Graubünden, the radio pioneer is applying to the Federal Office of Communications for a license for Radio Südost. Stefan Bühler, former editor-in-chief of the Bündner Zeitung, is the owner of Casanova Druck und Verlag in Chur. Patrick Vogt, former program director of Radio Grischa, now works as a media consultant. The new station is intended to break the Graubünden monopoly of the Südostschweiz media group, according to a press release issued by SDA on Thursday.
Radio Südost is planning a regional 24-hour program for the region of south-eastern Switzerland, covering the cantons of Graubünden and Glarus as well as the St. Gallen Oberland. In terms of information, the focus will be on regional news. To this end, a network of correspondents is to be set up in five external studios.
The Italian and Rhaeto-Romanic languages should also be included. The contribution to the free formation of opinion is made through the high proportion of information. In addition, political, economic, cultural, social and topics from the world of sport will be addressed in a controversial manner, the press release continues.
Hanspeter Lebrument's Südostschweiz Mediengruppe, which is under attack from Radio Südost, currently operates the private radio stations Grischa and Engiadina and holds a TV license for Tele Südostschweiz. The radio and TV licenses are being put out to tender again by the Federal Office of Communications (Bakom).
