The Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) (French pronunciation: [ʁadjo televizjɔ̃ sɥis]) is a public service audiovisual company belonging to the Société suisse de radiodiffusion et télévision (SSR). Part of SRG SSR, RTS handles production and broadcasting of radio and television programming in French for Switzerland. It was created on 1 January 2010 by a merger of Radio suisse romande and Télévision suisse romande.
The first evening programme to be broadcast in colour on Télévision suisse romande was aired in 1968.[1]
The station has been accused of multiple cases of sexual harassment in recent years, including accusations against news personality Darius Rochebin.[2][3]
While keeping its headquarters in Geneva, Radio Télévision Suisse moved its Lausanne-based radio headquarters to a new building on the Lausanne campus in 2020.[4][5]
