Media Market: SRG Cuts 80M CHF; Podcast Discusses Future
Swiss public broadcaster SRG and its units announced cost-cutting plans for 2027, requiring savings of 80 million Swiss francs. The measures include shifting the TV program 'Reporter' away from the screen, a move debated in the latest podcast episode by Matthias Ackeret and Sandra Porchet. Porchet notes that strong TV brands can succeed in streaming, as Netflix shows, adding that streaming works on a regular TV set. The podcast also covers the exclusion of CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House and the backlash against President Trump from other media. The episode was recorded in the offices of persönlich Verlags AG in Zurich-Wiedikon.
