Company

The Swiss broadcasting union (SRG) is made up of five Enterprise Units (RSI, RTR, RTS, SRF, SWI swissinfo.ch), the General Management (Group Head Office) and the subsidiary SWISS TXT.

With a total of 6,900 employees, equating to 5,500 full-time posts, an annual turnover of 1.53 billion francs, 17 radio stations, 7 television channels and a wide range of complementary websites and teletext services, SRG is Switzerland’s biggest electronic media company. Its radio stations lead their respective markets in all four language regions – as do the television channels at prime time. SRG services successfully hold their own against a variety of competing foreign broadcasters with greater financial muscle.

SRG’s Enterprise Units inform, entertain, and also have an educational function. They distribute their services round the clock on the same terms to everyone in Switzerland, no matter where they are, via radio, television, the Internet, HbbTV, teletext and mobile technologies. Their services meet the needs of minorities and the mainstream alike and cover a broad range of issues. They also stand out in terms of their quality, relevance and variety.

The General Management in Bern is responsible for the management, coordination and communication of the entire SRG. The Enterprise Units create and broadcast content in the different language regions of Switzerland, and SWI swissinfo.ch publishes online journalistic content for abroad.
