SRG and Günter Netzer's Infront reach agreement

SRG and Günter Netzer's TV rights company Infront have reached a settlement in the dispute over broadcasting rights for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. SRG spokesman Daniel Steiner confirmed a report in the Sonntagszeitung newspaper to SDA. SRG and the company of the former world-class German footballer agreed not to disclose the amount. SRG had sued Infront for damages two years ago because it felt its exclusive agreements with the Zug-based company had been breached. This was because the German broadcaster RTL and the French chain M6 broadcast World Cup matches in their Swiss windows, which were framed with Swiss advertising. SRG therefore claimed a loss of advertising revenue (see
