PassengerTV wants to produce content and is building its own editorial team
The passenger information system PassengerTV wants to produce more content and is therefore setting up its own editorial team.
Around 45 journalists are currently being sought, writes Schweiz am Sonntag in its current issue. So far, PassengerTV's program has consisted of advertising, information from transport companies and news supplied by regional publishers.
Together with GasstationTV, there are 1.5 million contacts per day - this calls for additional moving image content, management member Yves Kilchemann told the newspaper. A 14-strong editorial team is therefore being set up at the Bern headquarters - including Micha Zbinden, the former deputy head of sports at Blick.
In addition, five teams of six will produce regional content in the regions of Zurich/Aargau, Bern, Basel, Eastern Switzerland and Central Switzerland. However, Kilchemann assures us that we do not want to compete with the publishers who offer their news. The partnerships will continue to exist. (hae)
