Ueli Haldimann leaves Swiss television
Ueli Haldimann, interim director of Swiss Television (SF), is leaving the company. He plans to pursue a new career path. There are differing accounts regarding the reason for his departure.
Haldimann has decided not to return to the position of editor-in-chief, writes Schweizer Radio (SR) in a press release on Friday afternoon. Haldimann himself explains in an internal SF letter, which is available to the news agency SDA, that he had been assured that he would be able to take on the role of TV editor-in-chief again at the end of his interim position. Matter has now "clearly expressed" that he wants to fill the position with a new person.
In this situation, Haldimann says, he decided not to insist on his promised return. Working with the regional director and the new management would not be very promising under the current circumstances. According to the 56-year-old, he will decide what he wants to do in the future over the next few months.
From 2002 to 2009, Haldimann was SF Editor-in-Chief and Head of the Information Department. He was also Deputy Director of Television from 2004 to 2009.
