The SRG Executive Board has named Reto Peritz from SRF and Moritz Stadler from RTS as co-executive producers of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Switzerland. Both will retain their current roles but will be substituted for a year.

Organising the Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland in May 2025 is a massive undertaking. At the request of the ESC Task Force, the SRG Executive Board has now decided who will have overall responsibility for the world's biggest music event. The role of executive producer will be shared by Reto Peritz, 51, currently director of entertainment at SRF, and Moritz Stadler, 38, currently head of operations at RTS.

The Executive Board considers the two media managers perfectly suited to the role, and both have longstanding experience with the ESC - Reto Peritz as former head of the Swiss delegation and as an elected member of the ESC Reference Group from 2019 to 2021, and Moritz Stadler as a longtime employee of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The pair will retain their current positions in the business units but will gradually hand over the projects they are currently managing until June 2025 to focus fully on the organisation of the ESC.
