SF plans talent show
Das Schweizer Fernsehen plant eine neue Sendung: Ab Anfang 2011 soll «Die grössten Schweizer Talente» jeweils am Sonntagabend ausgestrahlt werden.
This is the result of research by the Sonntagszeitung. The production is based on the format "Britain's Got Talent". In January 2009, the show on British private broadcaster ITV turned the overweight and unemployed Susan Boyle into a world-famous singer. Three seasons of the German copy of "Supertalent" with Dieter Bohlen have already been broadcast on the private channel RTL, and a fourth is currently being planned.
"Supertalent" is a super show, especially for Switzerland, 3+ boss Dominik Kaiser is quoted as saying in the Sonntagszeitung. He would have liked to have included the show in the program himself; an offer was already on the table in September 2008. For cost reasons, however, the decision was made against the program.
Austrian TV rejected the program for another reason: ORF had examined the format, a spokesperson said. "However, we are of the opinion that such a miscellaneous talent show does not meet the quality requirements of a public broadcaster." In Germany, for example, the appearances of children and animals led to criticism of the show.
