SRG Archives: Switzerland's Audiovisual Archive Has Gaps
The SRG has made 1.5 million radio and TV broadcasts searchable on memobase.ch, sourced from SRF and RTR, with more than 650,000 items playable and material dating back to the 1930s. This falls short of a 2021 commitment by SRG and Memoriav to make roughly four million broadcasts available by 2022. RTS and RSI archives are not yet integrated; SRG cites technical metadata ingestion problems and an internal transformation programme named “Enavant” (launched November 2024) as reasons for delays and says a roadmap for inclusion is being worked on. The article notes the legal obligation under RTVV Article 33(2) (since 2016) to make archives accessible and that SRG points to regional Play platforms—which it says hold about two million audio/video documents—as complementary paths to fulfil the mandate.
SRG Archive to Train Swiss AI Models
Switzerland's SRG archive is planned to be made available to Swiss higher-education institutions in Zurich and Lausanne to help train a national AI language model. Susanne Wille, identified as Generaldirektorin, supports providing the holdings to the universities. Developers of the Apertus language model say the SRG audio material would let the model process all national languages and dialects and add journalistically verified knowledge about Switzerland. HSG professor Damian Borth called the cooperation "clever," noting the data would remain under Swiss sovereignty. Legal questions are still open; implemention could be possible within months according to developer Imanol Schlag.
SRG: Cultural Content Often Broadcast at Off-Hours
Swiss public broadcaster SRG published a systematic analysis titled «Zwischen Jodeln, Jazz und Jugendliteratur» examining 4,890 editorial items from an artificially constructed week in 2025 across TV, audio/podcasts, online and social media. The study found 28.1% of editorial contributions had a cultural focus and that SRG both reports on and produces cultural content (40.8% of culture items are media-created events). Audio (radio and podcasts) carries the largest share of cultural airtime (51.5%), while television dedicates 15.9% of its schedule to culture — more than half of those TV culture items air in late-night slots. The report also highlights a gender imbalance (only ~one-third of represented persons are women) and a regional concentration of coverage in SRF’s German-speaking area. Suisseculture welcomed the study but called for continued monitoring and methodological refinements.
