Art. 4 RTVG · Mindestanforderungen an den Programminhalt

Alle Sendungen eines Radio- oder Fernsehprogramms müssen die Grundrechte beachten. Die Sendungen haben insbesondere die Menschenwürde zu achten, dürfen weder diskriminierend sein noch zu Rassenhass beitragen noch die öffentliche Sittlichkeit gefährden noch Gewalt verherrlichen oder verharmlosen.

Redaktionelle Sendungen mit Informationsgehalt müssen Tatsachen und Ereignisse sachgerecht darstellen, so dass sich das Publikum eine eigene Meinung bilden kann. Ansichten und Kommentare müssen als solche erkennbar sein.

Die Sendungen dürfen die innere oder äussere Sicherheit des Bundes oder der Kantone, ihre verfassungsmässige Ordnung oder die Wahrnehmung völkerrechtlicher Verpflichtungen der Schweiz nicht gefährden.

Konzessionierte Programme müssen in der Gesamtheit ihrer redaktionellen Sendungen die Vielfalt der Ereignisse und Ansichten angemessen zum Ausdruck bringen. Wird ein Versorgungsgebiet durch eine hinreichende Anzahl Programme abgedeckt, so kann die Konzessionsbehörde einen oder mehrere Veranstalter in der Konzession vom Vielfaltsgebot entbinden.
