NRJ loses Swiss station

NRJ Group has lost its appeal to keep its frequencies in the Zürich region of Switzerland.

NRJ has been present in the Zürich radio market since 2002, when the company bought Hitradio Z. NRJ's Zürich station is a partnership with media group Ringier SA, which owns 51% of the station.

Last year, the Swiss communications department awarded three Zürich frequencies for commercial radio to Radio 24, Radio Zürisee and Radio 1, while NRJ was left out. NRJ brought the decision to an appelate court, which has now decided against NRJ's appeal.

NRJ also has a French-language service in the Geneva region.
