Polls suggest voters will approve a halving of fee paid to the public broadcaster the SSR/SRG.
But a new government report suggests this would create a major headache for Bern.
The broadcaster is constitutionally bound to provide a full public service, so any funding gaps may have to be filled with tax payer cash.
It’s also been suggested that advertising rules need to be lightened.
Currently, television advertising is limited in time and some programmes can’t have breaks, radio stations aren’t allowed adverts and online advertising is banned.
Some commentors suggest these regulations will need to be reviewed.
The vote will be in March.
