- From 2026, OneGate Media will handle film and licensing services for Swiss Radio and Television (SRF)
- This includes acquiring fictional and non-fictional programs, worldwide distribution of SRF content, and the sale of archive material
- Tania Reichert-Facilides, Managing Director of OneGate Media: We bring Switzerland to the world across all platforms.
- Stefano Semeria, Head of Distribution at SRF: We are convinced that SRF is best prepared for the future with OneGate Media
Exciting news for OneGate Media from Switzerland: SRF has chosen the ARD subsidiary as its long-term partner starting in early 2026.
In 2024, SRF launched a tender process for film and licensing services, reviewing offers from multiple providers.
The acquisition of fictional and non-fictional content is a key pillar of SRF’s programming strategy. At the same time, distributing its own productions and selling archive rights serve as both a revenue stream and a means of increasing visibility. By marketing its content beyond its own channels, SRF ensures greater reach and accessibility for its programming.
Stefano Semeria, Abteilungsleiter Distribution SRF: «We aim to realign our film and licensing business to meet future demands. OneGate Media convinced us with its comprehensive approach. Its operational and organizational model is forward-thinking, agile, and digitalized. We are confident that SRF is best prepared for the future with OneGate Media and that new market potential can be unlocked through this partnership.»
Tania Reichert-Facilides, Geschäftsführerin OneGate Media: «We are delighted to have won this mandate from SRF. It is a fantastic acknowledgment of our company’s development and expertise in serving clients and curating content. This partnership strengthens our local presence and enables us to bring Switzerland’s stories to audiences worldwide across all platforms.»
