SRF: Roger Brändlin anchors the "Tagesschau" for the first time
Starting in December 2012, Roger Brändlin will take over as the new anchor of the «Tagesschau» at noon, at 6:00 p.m., and late at night. Brändlin currently works as a producer and editor at DRS 3.
He replaces Georg Halter, who becomes the new Basel correspondent for Swiss television. This was announced by Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen SRF on Friday. Roger Brändlin has been working for SRF since 2007, first as news editor and presenter at Schweizer Radio DRS, and since this year as producer and editor for the daytime program of DRS 3. Previously, Brändlin had studied journalism and organizational communication at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Winterthur and worked for various Swiss local radio stations (including Radio Munot, Radio Argovia, Radio Energy / Hitradio Z). "In the casting he proved that he is also a credible journalist with a great charisma on screen," Tagesschau editorial director Urs Leuthard is quoted as saying in the statement.
