To be precise, the Dec.15 broadcast channel is SF2. It's the "national" swiss tv, but only for the german-speaking part of the country. They've chosen their channel which is not broadcasted over all Switzerland. Great! It's really a shame.
I understand Mark can't be blamed for that, it's not his choice, he even doesn't know. As a long time fan, I feel allowed to let him and his management know what happens in the real life. They organize a promo in Switzerland and maybe they think they would reach all the country. Please be advised that Basel and Zurich are only a part of Switzerland and it'd be much appreciated if you would fix this problem next time.
Actually it's nothing really unusual in the MK marketing, tour and promo world. There are forgotten (forbidden ?) cities, always the same ones ! There are 2nd class countries/cities (very poor dates and venues in France - only week days just like every tour, Paris is a ... Tuesday).
How come there's a huge hole, centered around Lyon, France on the tour map ? No people here ? No fans ? No money to buy tickets ? Problems with french speaking people ?
Come on ! The same song everytime... and we just don't understand why...
Geneva is still waiting  for Mark since the BiA tour ! Even a TV broadcast is censored! Thanks again !
