Petition "Hands off the special-interest radio stations!"
A motion by the National Council's Committee for Transport and Telecommunications (KVF-N) wants to abolish six SRG special-interest channels. The music associations are convinced that this would have devastating consequences for Swiss musicians.
The motion by the National Council's Committee for Transport and Telecommunications (KVF-N) specifically wants to delete Radio Swiss Pop, Radio Swiss Classic, Radio Swiss Jazz, Radio SRF Virus, Radio SRF Musikwelle and Radio RTS Option Musique.
According to the initiators of the petition, the special-interest channels in particular promote Swiss music to a high degree. The special-interest channels have a share of up to 50 percent of Swiss music played. Overall, the figure for all SRG stations is 20 percent. In addition, they are irreplaceable for Swiss artists with their coverage of the current Swiss music scene.
The petition is supported by, among others: Schweizer Musikrat / Musikschaffende Schweiz / Schweizer Musiksyndikat / Schweizer Tonkünstlerverein / Schweizerischer Musikerverband SMV / Helvetia Rockt / IndieSuisse / IFPI / Schweizer Interpretengenossenschaft SIG / Eidgenössische Jodlerverband EJV / Schweizerischer Blasmusikverband SBV / Schweizerische Chorvereinigung SCV / Verband Schweizer Volksmusik VSV.
