(SF) could take around a year. The Board of Directors of SRG Deutschschweiz (SRG.D) decided on Wednesday to press ahead with the planned merger of SF and Schweizer Radio DRS.
Next October, the SRG.D Board of Directors intends to present a rough concept for the structure of the new corporate unit to the national SRG Board of Directors. This will be around six months earlier than planned, Chairman Viktor Baumeler told SDA in response to a press release from SRG.D on Wednesday.
As soon as the SRG Board of Directors has approved the rough concept for the structure, the future Radio and Television Directorate will be publicly advertised, said Baumeler. The new director could take office around mid-2010. From 2011, television and radio are to form a joint company.
The SRG.D Regional Council will decide on the election of Ueli Haldimann on June 18. On the same day, it will also elect an interim director for Schweizer Radio DRS. Iso Rechsteiner was nominated at the end of May. This election is necessary because the incumbent Walter Rüegg is retiring at the end of September.
