Television licence for Tele Ostschweiz
Bern, 03.11.2011 - The Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) is awarding the licence for a regional television station in eastern Switzerland to the company Tele Ostschweiz AG and its programme service TVO. Following a decision by the Federal Administrative Court in December 2009, DETEC had to clarify whether the award of a licence to TVO in eastern Switzerland would threaten diversity of opinion and offerings. This was deemed not to be the case, despite the market dominance of the NZZ Group in the radio advertising market. DETEC therefore upheld its licence decision made in 2008. Tele Säntis, which was unsuccessful in its licence application, may appeal against the published decision before the Federal Administrative Court.
