The program in German and French is identical.

bilingualism

All programs on TeleBielingue are produced and broadcast in German and French . TeleBielingue has thus adapted to regional conditions. The TeleBielingue region extends into a French-speaking part ( Bernese Jura ), a German-speaking part ( Seeland , Grenchen ) and a bilingual region ( Biel and the surrounding area, Murten ).

TeleBielingue consciously takes on the role of the bridge between the two languages ​​and between the two cultures and serves both languages ​​equally. The whole station is consistently bilingual.

Multilingualism not only entails additional work and longer and more complicated processes, but also additional costs.
