Federal Council rejects SRG SSR initiative and proposes reducing fee to CHF 300 instead

SRG SSR requires sufficient financial resources to be able to provide equivalent journalistic services in all language regions. The Federal Council therefore rejects the federal popular initiative '200 francs is enough! (SRG SSR Initiative)'. It approved the dispatch on this issue on 19 June 2024. However, the Federal Council wants to ease the financial burden on households and businesses. It has therefore decided to gradually reduce the radio and television licence fee for households to CHF 300 per year by 2029. The Federal Council will not grant SRG SSR a new licence until the vote on the SRG SSR initiative has been held. It is therefore extending the current SRG SSR licence until the end of 2028.
