The private television station U1 from Schlieren ZH may continue broadcasting for the time being. The Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) has decided this with a precautionary measure. Cablecom originally wanted to take U1 off the analog network at the end of August. This is why the precautionary measure had to be taken relatively quickly, confirmed Bakom spokesman Bernhard Bürki on Monday at the request of SDA.
Cablecom can lodge an appeal against the decision with the Federal Administrative Court within thirty days. "The provisional measure says nothing about what the final decision will be," Bürki continued.
Bürki went on to say that it remains to be seen when a final decision will be made. This is the first time that the supervisory authority has had to make such a decision based on the new Federal Radio and Television Act (RTVA).
The initiators of the planned new sports channel Schweizer Sport Fernsehen have an interest in U1 being declared a "must carry" program by Bakom. From September, they want to cover popular sports on U1 that are not covered by Swiss television.
