history

The first transmitter (photo taken around 1958)

In the mid-1950s, there had been demands for years to receive Swiss radio programs in the mountain regions . With the technical possibility of supplying the Graubünden valleys with VHF transmitters, the Valzeina transmitter was put into operation at the end of December 1958. Because of the rapid development of wireless services in the following years, this facility was enlarged in 1962 by installing a separate television transmitter on the ground floor. As part of a program to improve reception in mountain regions and as a result of increasing space requirements and breakdowns, the PTT decided in 1968 to initially enlarge the existing station.

In 1971, a standardization project was also approved to expand and improve the performance of these and other transmission systems. Seven stations of the same size were created according to a uniform building type in order to save additional project costs. In the autumn of 1974, the new “multi-purpose facility (MZA) Valzeina”, now referred to as the regional station, was inaugurated, which is equipped with a disaster-proof basement. From then on, it was an important base for wireless radio and television services for northern and central Grisons and for the St. Gallen Oberland. Between 1986 and 1989, the old antenna mast was replaced by a new and more modern installation.
