The “Netz Natur” program will be removed from the SRF program in 2022. This informs the “Courier from the original Switzerland”. The article also states that the top two broadcasts will air next year, after which the television documentary will be finished. This has been flashing on the screen since 1989 and each has a more than respectable viewership rate (2020 semi-annual figures: 553,000 people with two shows / 30.6 percent market share). SRF confirms the attitude through a statement from Andreas Moser.

According to Blick.ch But it is not only austerity measures that are the reason for the interruption of the popular program. Editor-in-chief and moderator Andreas Moser will retire next spring.

I don’t see the format setting in its current form as dismissal.

Upon request, the creator of the resigning program explains: “It is in the nature of things that something changes when a training facilitator leaves. That is why I do not see the announcement of the discontinuation of the format in its current form in late 2021 as a layoff, especially since SRF has clearly committed to continuing the nature and environment issue, ”Moser said.
