SF warms up for Euro 08

 Swiss television is getting ready for Euro 08 and is stepping up its activities surrounding the football tournament two and a half months before the opening match kicks off. In addition to the already launched program "Euro 2008 - Das Magazin", the special site was launched on Tuesday. The site will provide comprehensive coverage of the tournament and the Swiss national team, as SF announced. In addition to the latest news, results and tables, the best moments before and during the tournament will be shown as videos. In the "Fanwiese" section, SF commentators and presenters will blog about Euro 08, while TV clips about the third biggest sporting event in the world will go on air at the same time. Under the claim "Euro 2008 on Swiss television. The biggest thing for us", Swiss television presenters and commentators are creating a wave that will travel throughout Switzerland and sweep the nation along with it.
In addition, Swiss star photographer Michel Comte continued the "My Switzerland - my television" campaign with eight on-screen personalities around the major football event. The 30-second spots feature the main presenters and commentators for the European Football Championship: Matthias Hüppi, Rainer Maria Salzgeber, Bernard Thurnheer, Alain Sutter, "Match" coach Gilbert Gress and the official Euro ambassadors Simone Niggli-Luder, Stéphane Chapuisat and Bernhard Russi.
