Full description

SRG German-speaking Switzerland (SRG. D) is one of the four regional companies of the SRG SSR association, which is the largest media company in Switzerland. With around 17,000 members, SRG.

In addition, the Audience Council is the electoral body of the Ombudsman's Office.

The Regional Executive Board of SRG.
