The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) has decided to transfer WRS into private ownership.

A number of interested parties have reportedly already expressed an interest in picking up the service.

The SBC board of directors decided on Wednesday that the future of WRS is outside of the public service.

A company specializing in mergers and acquisitions will contact a range of private and institutional investors in Switzerland and abroad.

It aims to have a project in place by the end of this year, ready for implementation in 2013 or 2014.

We would like to know what you think about this decision. Please feel free to post your comments on our blog here about the future of WRS.
