Swiss Television SRF wants to save almost 8 million francs by the end of 2026. Around 50 full-time positions are to be cut by the beginning of next year.

The reason for the measure is the tight financial situation, SRF announced on Thursday. At the same time, the media company is adapting its offering even more closely to the audience's usage behavior. As part of the strategic corporate project "SRF 4.0", various adjustments have been decided. These affect radio, TV and online.

In addition to job cuts, these changes to the offering also entail changes in production and infrastructure in particular. "However, the decline in commercial revenues, the reduction in the cost-of-living adjustment on the media levy and the rising costs of IT and technology leave us with no other choice," SRF Director Nathalie Wappler is quoted as saying in the press release.
