When going to bed is out of the question without first watching 10vor10.

I’ve clearly not been in Switzerland for long enough as I’ve never heard of it.

Not saying you have to watch another useless SRF programme – but if after x years in this country you’ve never even heard of a weekday “in dept news programme” catering to a large area of Switzerland, guess I rest my case. Or we could accuse the TSR or TSI (which you ignore as well) of not promoting the Swiss German broadcasts enough….

After all those years, you should also know that it's RTS, not TSR Or do you fly with SwissAir?

Why would I? I live in Romandie and watch the Swiss french news programmes.
Do you know the names of all the Swiss french news programmes?

I know what the title means and assumed it was some sort of late evening news round up but I hadn’t heard of it until hat post.

I get a little tired of the assumption that everyone living in Switzerland should be German speaking and know about the German stuff.

Certainly not all – but FI Kassensturz - au bon entendeur is often quoted in SG newspapers– ooops, the only TSI show I watched regularly was “scacciapensieri”
and its not really German stuff / think SwissGerman and you will be set free

I questioned nothing, I made a tongue in cheek comment in response to that post. You were the one who made a big deal out of it.

I’m assuming that you are not aware that Switzerland's national languages are German, French, Italian and Romansh. And has a huge amount of people living here with other languages?

Anyhow, if you are still looking for an argument, then you are on the wrong thread. Perhaps you just haven’t been in Switzerland long enough to know the difference

Re: You know you've been in Switzerland for too long when...

I commented recently on someones thread here that was such a mix of german and english that non-german speakers had no idea what it was about.

Funny you never see such a mixture with French, or Italian, or Romansch.
