Télévision Suisse Romande ("Swiss Television Romandy") was a TV network with two channels: TSR 1 and TSR 2 (the two channels became RTS Un and RTS Deux after 2012). They were the main French-language channels in Switzerland, part of SRG SSR (SRG SSR Idée Suisse before 2010). They provided content for TV5Monde. Radio Suisse Romande and Télévision Suisse Romande merged on 1 January 2010 to create Radio Télévision Suisse.
