European Radio Network Project MEMO/08/113 Brussels, 26 February 2008 Frequently Asked Questions: European Radio Network Project On which frequency will programmes be broadcast? This is not a radio station operating on one frequency, it is a network of operators broadcasting on their normal frequencies and sharing some programmes between them. What kind of programmes will the network broadcast? A consortium of 16 radios, international, national and regional, from 13 European Union Member states + 7 associated local radios, will broadcast EU related programmes every day, between 30 minutes and 1 hour each. They will make the programmes themselves and translate each others material so that they can be shared. All programmes will deal with European affairs from a European perspective to provide a cross-cultural view on major European stories. Regular programmes will include: - "Europe in brief": European news of the day - "Europe in perspective": explaining European news - "Europe in-depth": magazines, interview, analysis, debates - "Europe Live": major events of the EU Will the European Commission have any influence over the content of the programmes? No, an editorial charter guarantees editorial independence of the consortium. How were the operators selected? By means of a call for tender published in July 2007. Who are the members of the network? Members of the consortium as from the first year are: - Deutsche Welle - RFI (FR) - Radio Netherlands Wereldomroep - Polskie Radio Warsaw - Polskie Radio Szczecin - Punto Radio (SP) - Bulgarian National Radio - Czech Radio - Hungarian Radio - Skai Radio (GR) - Radio Slovenia International - RTBF (BE) - Radio Romania International - RFI Romania - Europa Lisboa (PT) - RFI Sofia (BG) What is the budget? The annual amount of the contract is 5.8 million EUR (15.890 EUR per day) In which languages will the network operate? Programmes will be broadcast during the first year in 10 different languages German, French, English, Spanish, Polish, Bulgarian, Greek, Portuguese and Romanian The number of languages will gradually increase to reach 23 languages in the fifth year of the contract. Can any other radio stations join the consortium? Yes, the consortium is open to new members provided they accept the editorial guidelines of the consortium. It is hoped that the number of members will increase over time to include at least one radio station per Member state. Will Europeans be able to listen via the internet? Yes, an internet Portal will be created with all technical possibilities (audio-on- demand, podcasting, etc.) People will be able to get the content (text, visual or audio) via the internet portal, on demand radio, podcast etc + links to the forthcoming specific European sites/rubrics of the individual radio stations. The Internet portal will be up running as of 1 July 2008. What is the estimated audience of the network? The audience is estimated at 12/19 million daily listeners in the European Union plus around 30 million in the rest of the world. The Consortium hopes to increase the European Union audience to around 30 million. 2 .

  • Czech Republic Represents 21,3 %
    Questionnaire - Revision of the Communication from the Commission on the application of State aid rules to public service broadcasting 1. GENERAL 1.1. A number of significant legal developments have taken place in the public broadcasting area since 2001, namely the adoption of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the adoption of the Decision and Framework on compensation payments as well as Commission decision-making practice. Do you think that the Broadcasting Communication should be up-dated in light of these developments? Alternatively, do you consider that these developments do not justify the adoption of a new text? There is no need for revision or change of the Communication at the moment. The Communication on the application of State aid rules to public service broadcasting (OJ 2001/C 320/4) lays down flexible principles which have made it possible to resolve a number of cases by taking due account of the specificity of the public service broadcasting sector. The Audiovisual Media Services Directive (OJ 2007/C 332/27) takes into account the emergence of new media and recalls the importance of the coexistence of public and private providers of audiovisual media services and the firm need for the public service broadcasting remit to continue to benefit from technological progress (Recital 9). Public service broadcasters consider that there is no particular pressing need to revise the current Communication. Any updating which may take place needs to ensure stability for public service broadcasters while maintaining the flexibility of the current system, a system which makes it possible to offer legal solutions to organizations of various sizes and operating on various markets which have a remit to offer public service output responding to the needs and choices of their respective societies.

    Oliveira, M.; Portela, P. & Santos, L.A. (eds.) (2012) Radio Evolution: Conference Proceedings September, 14-16, 2011, Braga, University of Minho: Communication and Society Research Centre ISBN 978-989-97244-9-5 Euranet: a Case Study of Pan-European Radio MANUEL FERNÁNDEZ SANDE AND J.IGNACIO GALLEGO PÉREZ Universidad Complutense de Madrid / Universidad Carlos III de Madrid [email protected] / [email protected] Abstract: From its early beginnings as a single idea to its current status as an organisation of 27 member states, the European Union has suffered from the lack of a common cultural identity. This debility has greatly hindered the progress of European consolidation and convergence, which to the present day has been manifested mainly through economic and policy agreements. The European Union has achieved many goals during the last 25 years, including the implementation of a common currency that has led to a real economic union between member states and the transfer of various national competences to European institutions. However, the construction of a real European civil society has proved to be a greater challenge; Europeans still cling to their individual national, regional and local identities and have not developed a greater sense of European citizenship. The Euranet Project—an initiative to create a pan-European radio network—began in December 2007 as a joint proposal put forth by 13 national and regional radio stations operating in 12 European countries. Its stated mission when it went on air on April 1, 2008 was to broadcast European news from a transnational perspective to local communities within the European Union.

  • 130213 Press Release Czech Radio´S Statement Regarding An
    Press Release Prague, February 13, 2013 Czech Radio’s statement regarding an application from BBC Radiocom (Praha) On 17 December 2012, BBC Radiocom (Praha) s.r.o., licenced to operate the BBC station in the Czech Republic, applied to the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting (CRTB) for prior approval of the transfer of a 100% stake from the British public service BBC station to Lagardere Active ČR, a.s. The management of Czech Radio would like to express considerable concern regarding the application submitted by BBC Radiocom (Praha) s.r.o., which would result in a commercial entity taking control of two public service radio stations. Czech Radio hopes that this plan will not be implemented. Czech Radio does not agree with the change in ownership of the BBC station from the British public service BBC to the French media group Lagardere that provides, among others, commercial radio broadcasting in the Czech Republic. Czech Radio also does not agree with the potential change in the valid licence terms and conditions according to which the BBC station has to present the BBC World Service programmes in English (news, reports, education and sports) and programmes supplied by Czech Radio. Czech Radio states that it is ready to continue the cooperation with the BBC and broadcast its programme under the existing licence terms and conditions. For the above-mentioned reasons, Czech Radio submitted a motion to the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting demanding that the CRTB acknowledge Czech Radio as a party to the proceedings and, at the same time, asking CRTB not to approve the transfer of the share in the operator’s company from BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION to Lagardere Active ČR .

Minority-Language Related Broadcasting and Legislation in the OSCE Abstract There are a large number of language-related regulations (both prescriptive and proscriptive) that affect the shape of the broadcasting media and therefore have an impact on the life of persons belonging to minorities. Of course, language has been and remains an important instrument in State-building and maintenance. In this context, requirements have also been put in place to accommodate national minorities. In some settings, there is legislation to assure availability of programming in minority languages.1 Language rules have also been manipulated for restrictive, sometimes punitive ends. A language can become or be made a focus of loyalty for a minority community that thinks itself suppressed, persecuted, or subjected to discrimination. Regulations relating to broadcasting may make language a target for attack or suppression if the authorities associate it with what they consider a disaffected or secessionist group or even just a culturally inferior one.
