history

Former logo

The first Swiss Tagesschau was broadcast on August 29, 1953 as a test broadcast and from November 1st under the title "Tagesschau - Téléjournal - Telegiornale" in all three main language regions. The concept of the news organization , the brevity of the articles and their simplicity relate them to the Swiss Film Weekly , which, in the opinion of Peter Schellenberg , editor and presenter at the time, was taken over. Initially, the contributions were read off- screen until 1966 , only then did the speakers appear in the picture. This was the beginning of a lengthy decentralization process. The French-speaking Swiss television, which drove the development, saw the development of autonomous editions in the three language regions as a “step closer to the audience, to the respective cultures and priorities”, while opponents from politics and the SRG bodies argued with cost increases and thus that a central daily news is "an important element of a national bracket". From 1969 to 1982 decentralization was carried out for the French and Italian language areas, and from 1994 with the " Telesguard " also for the Romance language area. The newscast has been broadcast in color since March 1, 1973.

In the 1980s, the late edition of the Tagesschau was increasingly supplemented with elements of documentation and background reports. In 1990 a new concept with interviews and extended airtime was introduced and started under the name 10vor10 .

Until mid-1985 (with the exception of 1980), the news in the main edition, like all other editions, was traditionally read out by a speaker , then until 1990 it was broadcast in a team of three with a moderator , speaker and sports editor. Since 1990, the main edition of the Tagesschau has been presented by a speaker alone, with the number of moderators reduced to four people - always two women and two men. The development of the market shares of the main edition at 7:30 p.m. was relatively unaffected by the start of private television. It was relatively constant between 1969 and 1971 at 48 to 50 percent, in 1992 it was seen by an average of 58.8 percent of viewers and was able to increase this to 64.4 percent by 2002. In contrast, the “Vorabend-Tagesschau” with its long, irregular broadcasting time between 1992 and 2002 only achieved 20.4 and 20.2 percent respectively, while the midday edition achieved a market share of over 25 percent in the same period.

On January 4, 1987, the series “Tagesschau 25 years ago” was introduced. It aired on the Sunday following the main edition until the summer of 1987. The series then continued for a couple of years in the side program.
