The Federal Administrative Court has ruled in the case between the regional television stations Canal B, currently being created, and TeleBielingue.

He notes that errors were made by DETEC during its evaluation for the award of the concession covering Bienne, the Bernese Jura and Zealand, granted to Canal B at the start of the year.

For Mystik, which owns Canal Alpha and plans to set up in Bienne, confidence remains essential despite the disappointment. Gassmann Media, owner of TeleBielingue, displays cautious satisfaction.
The ball is once again in the middle between Mystik, owner of the Jura Arc television station Canal Alpha, and TeleBielingue, from the Biel-based Gassmann Media group. The first communicates on Thursday its disappointment with the decision of the Federal Administrative Court (TAF). This was appealed last February, after the concession for the Bienne-Bernois-Jura-Seeland region had been awarded to Canal B, the proposed new offer from Mystik, to the great dismay of TeleBielingue and many elected officials and institutions in Bienne.
After long months of waiting, the TAF has delivered its verdict and it comes as a big surprise. “He criticized the assessment made by the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications and found that the requests for concessions from Mystik and TeleBielingue should be considered equivalent. It decided that the lower body must now clarify which broadcaster most enriches the diversity of offer and opinions on the local media market,” specifies the press release from the company based in Cortaillod (NE).
