Two channels, actually:
SF1 and SF2.

And then there’s the French and Italian swiss channels: TSR and TSI 1 and 2.
The reason there are no nationwide private broadcasters in Switzerland is because the previous ones failed (such as TV3) and they get about 40 of them free to air from Germany via SES Astra at 19.2 degrees. Swiss TV is available (but encrypted) on HotBird 13 degrees, but under the horizon from Australia.

I think these idents are brilliant. I think they look like a really good BBC One / Channel 4 hybrid (with maybe a bit of five inspired music).

Impressive!

Off topic but why did they change the House theme tune in series 2? It doesn’t sound as good without the weird flute noise.

Can we expect some more Swiss idents?

(PS I very much doubt it’s a flute!)
