Digris wants to fill the quota from the archive

The SRF archive is meant to secure the quota.¹ That is what Digris boss Thomas Gilgen told the Schweizer Musikzeitung.¹ Digris runs Radio Swiss Classic and Radio Swiss Jazz from July 2027.² SRG does not disclose the price.²

SRG set conditions.² At least 50 per cent Swiss music.² No presenters, restrained advertising.² That holds for two years.² After that, Digris decides alone.² The quota has an expiry date.

According to Gilgen, the SRF archive will always cover the 50 per cent.¹ Digris plans to switch off the satellite feed for now, he says.¹ DAB+, streaming and cable remain secured.² The base is to move to Zurich.¹

What this means in practice: the stations pay musicians directly.³ The money flows through the collecting societies Suisa and Swissperform, writes Sonart.³ Sonart wants the 50 per cent kept beyond two years.³ How much money that is today, no source says. That is exactly the missing figure.
