U1 TV becomes Switzerland 5
The private TV station U1 TV will be renamed Schweiz 5. Following the model of France 5, Schweiz 5 will cover Swiss politics, business, culture, and sports.
The private TV channel U1 TV is to be renamed Switzerland 5. "Following the example of France 5, Switzerland 5 will report on Swiss politics, business, culture and sport," writes U1 TV in a statement on Thursday. The expansion and restructuring of the program will take place in various stages. The speed of the conversion will largely depend on the progress of the must-carry regulation applied for by Bakom.
According to the broadcaster, the core of the new program will be a news flash every hour on the hour, a 25-minute "Focus Switzerland" report on people, landscapes or institutions in Switzerland, a daily 25-minute talk show called "Switzerland Live" and an interactive health magazine entitled "Vitalissimo". A debate is planned at 8 p.m. - 55 minutes of discussion on topics from politics, business and culture. This is followed at 9 p.m. by Alpenwelle, which also lasts 55 minutes. The latest from the world of pop and folk music will be presented here.
Switzerland 5 is taking over all cable slots and frequencies from U1 TV, according to the press release. "U1 TV will remain a pure TV and internet content producer, working not only for Schweiz 5, but also for other TV stations in Switzerland, Germany and Austria".
