SRG SSR

SRG SSR, also known as Swiss Broadcasting Corporation, Schweizerische Radio- und Fernsehgesellschaft, Société suisse de radiodiffusion et télévision, Società svizzera di radiotelevisione, and Societad Svizra da Radio e Televisiun, is a state-owned entity headquartered in Switzerland. Founded in 1931, the company, which specializes in broadcast television and radio, employs approximately 6,900 individuals and reported $1.8 billion in revenue as of 2024. It operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer. Functioning as a vertically integrated public media studio and national broadcasting institution, SRG SSR operates as a non-profit association governed by private law, fulfilling a constitutional public service mandate funded predominantly through public media levy fees. Organized into a federalist structure to represent Switzerland’s linguistic diversity, the corporation controls four distinct regional production units: Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF) for German speakers, Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) for French speakers, Radiotelevisione svizzera (RSI) for Italian speakers, and Radiotelevisiun Svizra Rumantscha (RTR) for the Romansh minority, alongside the international multi-language platform SWI swissinfo.ch. The studio maintains an intellectual property and co-production repository consisting of multi-decade broadcasting archives, news formats, live sports properties, and Swiss drama series. Its entertainment catalogue and multi-market franchise library include original regional fiction and collaborative cinema productions, such as the thriller series The Deal (the first Swiss series premiere featured at the Locarno Film Festival on the Piazza Grande), Tschugger, Wilder, Neumatt (New Heights), and the investigative news brand Rundschau.
