SF streamlines children's program

Since Swiss television will have to make do with nearly 11 million francs less starting in 2009, children's programming will also have to tighten its belt.

As Swiss Television (SF) will have to make do with almost 11 million francs less from 2009, the children's program will also have to tighten its belt. Editorial director Sepp Burri is currently working on a concept as to how and where savings could best be made in the program for the youngest viewers. As Ernst Gräub from the Schweizer Syndikat Medienschaffender told SonntagsBlick, this involves a budget cut of CHF 2 million to a new figure of CHF 8 million. The programs affected include "Dance Academy", "Xotnix" and "Tscheggsch es".
