Note: This section came from the typo article's talk page during the move. The target of the move's talk page was a red-link, so nothing has been lost. Niteowlneils 22:55, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The content of this page has been cut-pasted from SGR SSR idée suisse (I reverted the cut on the page) instead of being moved. Please delete this page so that the page can be properly moved (procedure according to Wikipedia:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion#Notes, point 2). Schutz 11:02, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
159753: the reason I had cut-and-paste the page, is that I had made a spelling mistake on the title.
- As far as I know, you should have moved the page instead of doing a cut-paste (cf Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page). Since a new page has been created, it is now impossible to move the page. I will re-request a speedy-deletion of the new page so that the old one can be moved (along with its history) - please do not recreate the page in the meantime ! BTW, I've updated all the links that points to the wrong page, except for the one that is on your talk page. Schutz 22:25, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[End of section from move source talk page.]
From the article:
- There are a few theories on the demise of SRI/Swissinfo.
- One theory is that the mostly German-run Swiss Federal government has decided to "hide the country" from international exposure as much as possible now that the Cold War is over.
- Another theory is that Switzerland is one of the richest nations in Europe (except for Monaco, Liechtenstein & Luxembourg), and it is customary for the wealthy, to hide themselves so as to keep their propery from being stolen.
- In countries where Germanic languages are spoken (like in the United States & the United Kingdom), there is a movement towards 'gated communities'. The French and Italian Swiss were aginst the shutdown of Swissinfo, but these groups make up only 22% of the population.
Interesting reading, but I suppose it would need a reference. -- User:Docu
[edit] RTR
It is my understanding, reading the FAQ section on the website of Radio e Televisiun Rumantscha, that RTR is now (since 1992) independent of SRG SSR idée suisse. Am I reading this correctly, or are my Rumantsch-language skills still lacking (as the site is written in Rumantsch)? If this is correct, the article should be edited to reflect this.

[edit] Name
<from User talk:Docu>
May I ask why you've re-worked the introduction so much? My intention was to immediately explain the unsual - and new - name with all the initials, and the only way of doing this, is to go back to the original names from the time before TV. It doesn't make any sense for someone not familiar with Swiss radio and TV history that the initials for "Schweizerische Radio- und Fernsehgesellschaft" should be SRG, but "Schweizerische Rundspruchgesellschaft" does.
Also, why move the order of the name in the different languages around? The only sensible order should be in order of population size, and Romansch is the smallest of the four languges, while French is the second largest, like it or not. The rest of the article follows the order German, French, Italian and Romansch, so the introduction should as well.
I also think we need to stress that "Swiss Broadcasting Corporation" is a non-legal English name for the company, only used when talking about it in English. Your changes make it look as if that is the actual name of the company. Thomas Blomberg 08:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

- In response to the comment above:
- I put the explanation of the initials back in and placed it in a separate section.
- The official names are ordered as on [1].
- The current version should make the status of the English name clear.

[edit] The Lausanne channel?
The article currently states: Télévision Suisse Romande (TSR) is based in Geneva and was in early 2006 broadcasting two TV channels: (Canton Geneva) for TV and in Lausanne (Vaud) for radio. What does the last part of the sentence mean? I thought it was supposed to be talking about television, not radio. --Metropolitan90 03:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
