The story
The first radio program in Romansh was broadcast on 17 January 1925. The person responsible for this broadcast was Felix Huonder. Regular Romansh programming began in 1943. Las Cristallas, the Romansh "radioscola" (radio school, or lectures delivered by radio broadcast), premiered on 27 January 1955.
Il Balcun Tort, the first television program in Romansh, was broadcast on 17 February 1963. This commemorated the 25th anniversary of Romansh's becoming Switzerland's fourth national language.
Mariano Tschuor was the director of RTR for the four years to 2014. On 1 August of that year, he swapped jobs with Ladina Heimgartner, who became the first woman to lead RTR. Heimgartner remained in that post until 2020, when Nicolas Pernet took over as director. Pernet publicly opposed the SBC initiative, which proposed heavily cutting the funding for Swiss public broadcasting.
