SRG board members must now pay Billag fees themselves
SRG board members will now pay their own Billag fees. They made this decision at a meeting earlier this year.
The decision was made on the initiative of the new Chairman Raymond Loretan, spokesman Daniel Steiner confirmed to the Sonntagszeitung. The members of the Board of Directors have a role model function. According to Steiner, they want to show that SRG is economical with its fees. They could also represent the Billag fees more credibly. Until now, SRG has paid the radio and TV fees for all board members.
