Radio and Television of Western Switzerland (RTS) plans to save ten million francs in 2025 by cutting 55 full-time positions. This was announced by RTS on Thursday. The general decline in revenue and the situation with fees are responsible.
As the share of the fees charged by SRG will not be adjusted in line with inflation, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG) will have to save a total of 50 million next year. RTS wants to do everything it can to limit the impact on staff, according to Director Pascal Crittin in the press release. The company is relying "as far as possible on natural fluctuations".
This means that fewer than 30 of the 1800 employees are to be made redundant. Savings are to be made primarily in production. The production of consignments is to be simplified. Certain non-priority consignments could be eliminated altogether. All proposed measures will be presented to staff for consultation.
