MaxTV

MaxTV is a Swiss local television channel whose studios were based in Yverdon, in the Canton of Vaud. The channel was created in 1999 by two unemployed individuals who decided to launch a regional television service. It received a concession from the Federal Council in 2000 and began broadcasting its programmes in 2001. For many years it broadcast to Morges, Aubonne, Rolle, La Sarraz and surrounding areas under a federal concession. After changes in the law, MaxTV refocused around its production studios in Yverdon while continuing its local-television mandate along the Yverdon–Morges axis. The name MaxTV is explained as M for Morges, A for Aubonne and X for region. The channel is currently available via Swisscom TV throughout Switzerland, on Cablecom in French-speaking Switzerland, and on the internet at www.maxtv.ch. Its programming includes daily news (Info du jour), regional news (Info Région), one-hour documentaries on regional events (Notre Région), uncommented reports on local events (Plan large), and a studio discussion programme on regional current affairs and social topics (Place Publique). It also carries syndicated programmes produced by other regional televisions, such as Bienvenue chez nous and Chiens et Chats. According to the Groupement des Télévisions Régionales Romandes (GTRR), MaxTV has a potential audience of 70,000 viewers. The channel is managed by its direction together with the communes that broadcast the channel. Its executives have included Johannes Hierl as Director and Éric Gay as Commercial Director.
