Ownership

Initially, Schawinski's Belcom Holding AG owned 50% of Tele24, while the media companies Ringier and Tamedia owned 25% each. In 1999, Ringier sold half its stake to Belcom Holding AG and half to Tamedia. At the end of 2001, Tamedia bought Belcom Holding AG without the shares in Tele24.

History

Tele24 developed from the Zurich regional broadcaster TeleZüri, which was also founded by Schawinski. In the Zurich region, Tele24 and TeleZüri broadcast a single programme schedule. Both channels were produced in a single location.

Programming

Tele24 exclusively broadcast shows that it had produced itself.

Talk shows:

General Information

So-called "Video Journalists" ("VJs") produced the news shows. The VJ was both a journalist and a cameraman/woman. As a result, Tele24 was able to produce content comparatively cheaply.

Tele24 was included in most Swiss Cable television bundles and all Swiss Satellite television.

The market share of Tele24 ranged between 1.0 and 1.1% (15-49 year olds, 6-pm-11pm) between 1999 and 2001, according to Telecontrol and SRG-Forschungsdienst. [1]

At the beginning of 2001, it was announced that Money would be outsourced to its own TV station, led by Markus Gilli and called Money24, which was to be Switzerland's first dedicated financial news channel. Ironically, the financial situation of Tele24 made this seem very unrealistic. How far this project was developed is unknown.
