It still need to pass the canton majority though, this one is tough if you get none of the latin cantons, Graubunden, and probably Zurich/Basel City.
Moreover, usually you see a fading support for initiatives.
My bet (and hope): it will fail.
Its a god damn shame.
It times of fake news and AI fake videos which can change the course of elections, we need more SRF and not less.
But obviously the plan of those right wing people is to fill the information gap with their own channels. Blocher already owns more then 30 local news papers, getting a TV channel started with some billionaire money is probably their long therm goal.
Its literly the playbook from the USA.
Here is a nice video about the topic from a good CH youtuber (27 Minutes) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjvecrtxHdE
YES crew checking in.
I still think SRF should just be funded by the government through income and wealth taxes.
I don’t like that everyone is taxed the same for this. Use wealth/income tax to pay for it and use this money for good purposes. There is no need to buy the broadcasting rights for every American movie out there.
