Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The Swiss federal competition commission will take a closer look at the proposed fusion of the Swiss business of the country’s second and third largest media groups, Ediresse and Tamedia.
An initial study has shown that the merger would be likely to give the new venture a dominant position in French-speaking Switzerland, particularly in the areas of advertising, distribution of morning newspapers and commuter free papers.
