Swiss Senator Eva Herzog Questions SRG Savings Plan

Swiss Council of States member Eva Herzog (SP/BS) has submitted an interpellation to the Federal Council regarding the SRG's savings plans. The SRG announced savings of CHF 80 million for 2027 as part of its 'Enavant' transformation project, with a total of CHF 270 million to be saved by 2029. Herzog questions why the cost-cutting program is proceeding at full speed despite the SRG's better-than-expected annual results, and criticizes the lack of detail on the remaining CHF 190 million in savings to be achieved by 2029. She also doubts whether the current ratio of 95% structural cuts versus 5% program cuts can be maintained.

• Eva Herzog (SP/BS) filed an interpellation with the Federal Council concerning the SRG's savings plans.
• SRG plans to save CHF 80 million in 2027 and CHF 270 million total by 2029 as part of the 'Enavant' project.
• Savings for 2027 include cutting 20% of management positions, up to 38 full-time positions at SRF, 25 positions at RTS, and up to 12 at RSI.

Fög study: Young Swiss want SRG on social media

A study by the University of Zurich's Research Center for Public and Society (Fög) reveals that a majority of the Swiss population supports public service media like SRG, but expectations for its online presence vary significantly by age. Among 18-24 year-olds, 69.9% want SRG to be present on social media, while only 23.8% of those over 55 do. The population generally values SRG's own channels, with 69.6% emphasizing TV presence and 47% mentioning websites/apps. The study is intended to inform the new SRG concession starting in 2029, where the federal government plans to focus online efforts on audio and video. The findings suggest that reducing presence on third-party platforms would particularly affect younger audiences, and the authors argue against blanket regulations for specific online formats.

• Fög survey of 1,493 Swiss residents conducted June 18-24, 2026.
• 69.9% of 18-24 year-olds want SRG present on social media; only 23.8% of those over 55 do.
• 57.7% of the population considers public media like SRG important for society.
