SF: Head of entertainment Gabriela Amgarten leaves
Gabriela Amgarten is leaving Swiss Television at the end of the year to start her own business. The 48-year-old has headed the Entertainment Programming Department since 2005 and has been a member of the executive board ever since.
Amgarten completed her training as a television editor at Swiss Television in 1990. She initially worked as a presenter of the "Sonntagsmagazin" (until 1991). This was followed by presenting roles on "Risiko" (1992 to 2000), "Jenseits von Leutschenbach" (1998 to 1999), "Who is Who" (2000) and "Nostalgienächte" (2003). In parallel, Gabriela Amgarten always worked as an editor and from 1994 headed the editorial offices of "Risiko" (1994 to 2000), "Spiele" (2001 to 2004) and "Quiz und Spiele" (2004 to 2005). The launch of SRG's new Swiss-German business unit in January 2011 is the ideal time for a new professional challenge, Amgarten is quoted as saying in a press release. It is not yet known who will take over as Head of the Entertainment Department. The position will be advertised in summer 2010.
