Reto Kohler has worked as a reporter for "10vor10" since 2007, later adding producer duties, which he still performs today. In particular, he is also the producer responsible for various domestic and foreign series for the news magazine. As a reporter, Reto Kohler contributes articles on a wide range of topics from politics, business, culture and sport and also regularly works alone as a video journalist for "10vor10". After a training period starting at the beginning of 2018, he will be reporting from Ticino as a TV correspondent for SRF from March 2018.

Reto Kohler says of his new role: "In the past, Ticino was a laboratory of the future. Whether populism, migration overload or traffic collapse - in Ticino you could always recognize new trends a little earlier than elsewhere. I am delighted to be able to track down new developments in the southern canton for SRF."

Barbara Flückiger, Head of Domestic TV Correspondents: "Being the sole TV correspondent in Ticino is a very demanding task. I am therefore delighted that SRF is able to send a very experienced and accomplished journalist to southern Switzerland in Reto Kohler."
