Christoph Urech new on the Board of Directors of Swiss1 TV

Christoph Urech brings many years of experience in business development as an independent entrepreneur. He has an extensive network in various industries in Switzerland and Europe and joined Swiss1 TV AG as support in the area of strategic development and commercialization.

SWISS1 CEO and Chairman of the Board Toni Krebs is delighted: "Christoph Urech is a significant asset in entrepreneurial matters, and I am delighted to have him on board as a partner. He perfectly complements the existing Board of Directors, which consists of Hardy Lussi and Daniela Zwahlen.

Christoph Urech brings a diversified perspective and we will benefit from his expertise for the strategic development of SWISS1."

Swiss1 is also broadly positioned in terms of content and this summer was able to add the 10-part in-house production "Swiss1 Schwinget" to its established programming, consisting of high-quality feature films and series as well as popular reality formats.

"Swiss1 is an up-and-coming, dynamic company which, after the start-up phase, is now to be transformed into a sustainable growth strategy. I am very pleased to take these steps in close cooperation with the founders and a sworn-in team with TV experience," says Christoph Urech.
