Radio Edelweiss makes a profitThe local radio station Edelweiss in Basel is in the black for the first time. Last year, Edelweiss made a loss of 1,200,000 francs on a turnover of 1.9 million francs. A turnover of 2.35 million and a profit of 26,000 francs are budgeted for 2001. However, the first quarter of 2001 looks even better. Operating income rose by 85 percent compared to the same period last year to 94,170 francs, resulting in a positive quarterly result of 145,80 francs. Edelweiss now expects an annual profit of between 80,000 and 100,000 francs.
Radio 105 popular with Swizz fans The youth cable station Radio 105 leads the popularity scale of the Swizz Youth Barometer study by a large margin. 29 percent of respondents named 105 as their favorite station. In contrast, second-placed DRS 3 only achieved 17 percent. Radio Pilatus came third with 6.9 percent. The study should be treated with caution. It was conducted by IHA-GfM. However, only members of the Swizz Club were surveyed. Of the 1000 young people who were sent an invitation to take part, 259 completed the web questionnaire. This means that the youth barometer is not representative. For example, the regional distribution was not taken into account, meaning that the figures for local stations are not very meaningful. The question of the motivation of those who took part also remains unanswered.
New activities at RingierA number of new projects are in the pipeline at the Ringier publishing house. For example, cooking programs from Betty Bossi are being planned. Preparations are in full swing, with four pilot shows already planned for the fall.
