Sparmassnahmen beim SRF – SRF baut 75 Vollzeitstellen ab – Geschäftsleitung verkleinert

>__The most important measures in detail__

>- From summer 2025, the «Tagesschau» editions at midday and 6 p.m. will be replaced by moderated news flashes; the midday edition will be dropped at weekends.

>- The programmes «Club» and «Gesichter & Geschichten» will now pause during the summer – similar to magazines and other talk shows.

>- The channel-specific news bulletins on Radio SRF Virus will be discontinued and replaced by the regular news from Radio SRF.

>- The weekend offerings of the regional journals will be reduced selectively. Exceptions include election and referendum Sundays.

>- At the regional locations, the audio/digital regional editorial teams will be merged with the TV correspondent positions.

>- On third-party platforms, SRF will now focus on the brands «SRF Impact», «Bounce» and «Studio 404» for the younger audience. In return, SRF will discontinue the channels «SRF Mood» and «We, Myself & Why», as well as the formats «Das VARs», «Deep Dating», «Hypegenossen», «Pasta del Amore», «In Progress», and «Helvetia».

>- Additional savings will be achieved by relocating further programmes to the News and Sports Centre (NSC). This includes «Rundschau», «Kassensturz», and «Gesichter und Geschichten».

>- SRF will also reduce its third-party market business: from now on, the media company will only accept production orders if the broadcasting rights remain with SRG and SRF.

>- Synergies will also be realised by integrating production management into the production department, more efficient studio planning, relocating post-production from Basel to Zurich, and merging services within the News and Sports Centre.

>- The technology department will also reduce capacities through simplified processes, the use of synergies, and the reduction of services in various areas.
