Lausanne, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Jean-Jacques Roth, who has just resigned as editor in chief of Le Temps newspaper, has been named to head the joint television-radio news team at the recently created Radio Television Suisse Romande (RTSR). The new entity is the result of the merger of public radio and television stations RSR and TSR, which join forces in January 2010. The two are already part of SSR, the Swiss public broadcasting company.

Roth is the only outsider of the eight person senior management team named Monday 21 December. The news teams will be coordinated, but remain separate, with Bernard Rappaz heading television news and Patrick Nussbaum heading the radio team.

The complete management group:

Programmes: Gilles Pache
News: Jean-Jacques Roth
Ressources & Dvelopment (multimedia, archives, audiences, strategy watchdog): Thierry Zweifel
Operations (production, technical, computing): Valère Borruat
Human resources and training: Pierre-François Chatton
Finances & Logistics: Jacques Buffard
General business: Pascal Crittin
Marketing & Promotion: Blaise Duc
