Fewer complaints to the UBI in 2005

The Independent Complaints Authority for Radio and Television (UBI) received 20 new complaints last year. This is five fewer complaints than in the previous year. The complaints were mainly directed against SF DRS, as detailed in a press release. In 2005, the UBI settled 21 complaints procedures; at the end of the year, seven complaints remained pending. With two exceptions, all complaints concerned television broadcasts: 14 German-language, five Italian-language and one French-language broadcast were objected to. Most complaints - namely five - were made about the program "Kassensturz" alone.
