Matthias Kündig goes to Miami as USA correspondent for Radio SRF
Matthias Kündig will be the USA correspondent for Radio SRF and SRF News, based in Miami. He takes over from Sarah Nowotny and Roman Fillinger, who are unable to take up the correspondent post in Florida due to a serious illness in the family. For the time being, they will work in the foreign editorial office until their future tasks have been definitively clarified.

Before that, he worked at Radio SRF 4 News as producer and presenter of "HeuteMorgen" and as presenter, editor and editorial director at Radio SRF 3. He has worked at Swiss Radio SRF for 25 years.
Matthias Kündig studied history and political science at the University of Bern. He then worked as a teacher in the Bernese Oberland and in the USA. He speaks French, English and Arabic. He will reactivate his Spanish this summer in an intensive course. Matthias Kündig will leave for Miami in mid-September and will be ready for the Midterm Elections in November in the USA.
Patrik Wülser, Head of Foreign Editorial: "We are convinced that with Matthias Kündig we have filled the post in Miami with a very qualified and experienced personality and we are looking forward to his reporting from the USA as well as from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean."
