Schweizer Fernsehen (SF) (Swiss Television) is the German language division of SRG SSR, in charge of production and distribution of television programmes in Switzerland for German-speaking Switzerland. It was formerly called SF DRS (abbreviation of: Schweizer Fernsehen der deutschen und rätoromanischen Schweiz, Swiss television of German and Romansh Switzerland) until 2005. It has its head office in Zürich.[2] Its most viewed programme is "Tagesschau" (News), daily at 7.30 PM.

On 1 January 2011, Schweizer Fernsehen and Schweizer Radio DRS began the process of merging the two entities into Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF). On 16 December 2012, the merger was complete, with SF and SR DRS adopting the SRF name to their television and radio stations.
