We asked WRS conductor and managing editor Philippe Mottaz to play back galore of the new station's basi year highlights, plus provide a preview of what's to come.

World Radio Switzerland (WRS) now has an intermediate of 140,000 listeners.

"The figure ... paradoxically does not include the Anglophones [English speakers] that are not part of the audience panel. I reckon if we include them, we're closer to 180,000 around the country. We have grown the on-air and online audience by when it comes to 15 per cent around Lake Geneva and with added cable and satellite listeners in the Swiss-German part of the country," says Mottaz.
