Passenger TV: News portal Nau goes online before the end of October

"Almost a third of our 45-strong editorial team consists of flying reporters in six regions," says Nau editor-in-chief Micha Zbinden, former deputy head of sports at the Blick Group. In addition to Zurich, the regional teams are stationed directly on location in Bern, Basel, Frauenfeld, Lucerne and St. Gallen. The Graubünden editorial team will start in 2018. Zbinden: "Nau does the opposite of centralizing".

The average age of the editorial team is 29. Head of politics and deputy editor-in-chief Christof Vuille is 29, Zurich team leader Céline Brunner is 27, and Basel team leader Fabio Back is even only 21. "We consciously also rely on talented young journalists and give them responsibility. It's important to us that all Nau journalists are digital," says Zbinden.

In focus: The digital person with regional roots

Passenger TV intends to use its own content editorial team (Advertising week reported) will go online before the end of October. At the same time, Nau will provide the existing audience of screens in streetcars, buses and trains with news of a high quality standard. Livesystems, the parent company of Nau, operates with Passengertv the screens of about 50 public transport companies and with Gasstationtv the screens at gas stations and has a daily audience of 1.5 million people throughout Switzerland.

Nau as the media house of the future

Over the last ten years, the screen network in public transport and at service stations has been built up by the Bern-based company Livesystems in such a way that today each individual region can be covered with specific content. This applies to editorial content as well as advertising. "Nau can report in a locally differentiated way along the travel chain," says Nau Media CEO Yves Kilchenmann, "It's the medium of the mobile and digital generation."

In addition to the online and DooH platforms, an experienced 30-strong sales team is bundled under the Livesystems umbrella, which has been marketing Passengertv and Gasstationtv very successfully since the very beginning. Advertising customers throughout Switzerland can now choose from a massively broader and highly regarded range of products to put together solutions tailored to their specific needs.
