TV woman Steffi Buchli leaves MySports and takes over at Blick

Well-known transfer in the Swiss media industry: Steffi Buchli, program manager and front woman at MySports leaves the hockey station and becomes editor-in-chief of sport at the Blick Group.

Buchli succeeds Felix Bingesser, who will continue to work for Blick-Sport as the publisher writes in a media release today Wednesday morning.

“With Steffi Buchli, we are gaining a highly profiled and competent sports journalist, moderator and manager for this demanding task. The entire editor-in-chief is very pleased », Christian Dorer, editor-in-chief of the Blick group, is quoted. With the addition of ex-SRF presenter Steffi Buchli, the Blick Group is strengthening its know-how in the field of moving images and TV rights.

The last sentence draws attention: is the publisher now entering into negotiations on the upcoming rights allocation in Swiss football and ice hockey? Teleclub, the largest pay-TV provider in Switzerland, currently holds the broadcasting rights to the two highest divisions in Swiss football and various top European leagues, including the UEFA Champions League. MySports, founded by cable network operator UPC in 2017, holds the TV rights to the games of the National League and Swiss League until 2022.
