Screen-up under the motto "TV Wonderland": Preview of TV highlights

Today, visitors to this year's screen-up embarked on a journey into the world of television - into a "TV Wonderland". Under oversized flowers, between Cheshire cat holograms and furniture overgrown with ivy, advertisers, agency staff and media met for the biggest Swiss TV day. Hosts Admeira and Goldbach served coffee creations, ice cream and sandwiches under a giant balloon in the hall. And in a Rabbit Hole, a photo action provided the best entertainment.

Shortly after midday, the starting signal was given for the first of three show blocks. The two managing directors of the hosts, Alexander Duphorn, CEO Goldbach Media, and Frank Zelger, CEO Admeira, welcomed the visitors as follows: "The Future is now. There are several world premieres to celebrate this year in the TV country of Switzerland." With this, they alluded not only to many new TV programs, but also, among other things, to the expanded measurement of TV, the introduction of replay ads at the beginning of October, and a new TV planning tool.

Football and thrillers on SRG; entertainment on Admeira's private channels

At the beginning of the event, the guests at the screen-up were immersed in the screening of the channels marketed by Admeira. Things got underway with the SRG channels. Danitsa, the SRF Best Talent winner from Geneva, opened the screening with a powerful voice. The two SRF presenters Annette Fetscherin and Jennifer Bosshard then led through the screening in a sporty and entertaining manner.

Advertisers can look forward to great crime environments. In the fall, the new in-house production "Die Beschatter" will start on SRF, RTS and RSI. In December 2022, there will be a reunion with the cult Valais cops in "Tschugger. In addition to thrillers, SRF will broadcast the eight-part thriller series "Der Schwarm," one of the most elaborate series ever filmed in Europe. Sports fans are not left out either. SRG will broadcast all World Cup matches live. In addition, SRF will show an exclusive soccer documentary of the Swiss national soccer team. Murat Yakin already revealed first insights into the doc to the guests on site. With a strong offering like the 2023 elections, SRG is proving its reliability in providing information. With a live broadcast from the Wandelhalle of the Bundeshaus, the Bundeshaus editorial team of SRF and RTS demonstrated their expertise in political reporting on SRG stations.

After the SRG screening, a strong live performance of "real beats" made the hall shake. TF1, TFX and TMC presented their highlights in a gripping trailer.

Tele Regio Combi (TRC) stations continue to focus on providing an attractive regional public service with news and talk shows.

Stations marketed by Goldbach focus on entertainment

The two show blocks of the stations marketed by Goldbach kicked off with the traditional Goldbach video. This year's video is all about "Replay". In the video, Goldbach Media CEO Alexander Duphorn shows how it would look in real life if people could press the rewind or pause button at will - analogous to TV - and thus gain additional time. His message was unmistakable: TV is and remains not only attractive, but also number one when it comes to moving images. Replay ads can reach even more people than before.

The following show block of CH Media was moderated by Marco Fritsche. On stage, the audience favorite welcomed, among others, CEO Roger Elsener and Swiss film director Michael Steiner.

This year, for the first time since the anniversary event in 2019, the traditional aftershow party took place again.

The hosts were delighted with the event. Alexander Duphorn: "The broadcasters didn't promise too much when they said they were investing a lot in new ideas. But to be honest, the news that the Replay Ads will be launched as a real market solution in two weeks' time after a lot of effort outweighs everything else for me. This will revolutionize our industry. The first ads are just the beginning."

Frank Zelger from Admeira is also enthusiastic: "The screen-up proves once again that TV is the best as well as most complete live medium and provides strong emotions for all age groups. Advertisers will continue to benefit from strong TV content with high advertising impact in high-quality environments in 2023."
