Is Tamedia selling Radio 24 and Tele Züri?
The Zurich-based media group Tamedia is considering selling its two stations, Radio 24 and Tele Züri. According to Handelszeitung.ch, several industry insiders have reported this.
The plan is being discussed at the highest management level, but nothing is ready to be announced yet. Tamedia does not want to comment on such plans at the moment: "We do not comment on rumors," spokesman Christoph Zimmer tells Handelszeitung. "However, we are reviewing our strategic orientation and organization as part of the merger with Edipresse of Western Switzerland." Tele Züri and Radio 24 have belonged to Tamedia since 2001. But the stations never really wanted to fit in with the tradition-rich media house. For industry insiders, the hapless relationship had been obvious for years.
