Revenue sharing
As a public media company, SRG stands for solidarity across the Swiss Confederation. We therefore guarantee the provision of audiovisual services in all parts of the Confederation and in all its national languages.
SRG is the only media company that produces audiovisual content in all four national regions and languages. Swiss values such as solidarity and federalism make this possible – they shape our self-imageand guide our work. It is only thanks to the solidarity contribution of the German-speaking Swiss that SRG is able to offer the other language regions a diverse and high-quality radio, TV and web service on a daily basis. Of the 915 million francs that it collects, German-speaking Switzerland receives 550 million francs. The remaining 365 million francs are reallocated: with 115 million going to French-speaking Switzerland, 230 million to the Ticino, and 20 million to the Romansh-speaking region. SRG’s solidarity-based revenue sharing makes an important contribution to national cohesion, mutual understanding and communication between the Swiss language regions.
Regional revenue sharing of licence fee income (CHF 1.23 billion). A large portion of the licence fee income collected in German-speaking Switzerland is allocated to other language regions (including the redistribution of central services, rounding differences possible).
