  • TV Makes Pay-TV History by Becoming the First Service Provider in Finland to Offer Customisable Service Packages
    PlusTV Makes Pay-TV History By Becoming The First Service Provider In Finland To Offer Customisable Service Packages At the same time, the company signs new channel agreements with KinoTV and Disney Channel 29 August 2008 - PlusTV is the only service provider in Finland to launch a service package with contents freely customisable by the customer. Customisable pay-TV packages have been one of the most requested services in PlusTV’s customer satisfaction surveys. The number of pay-TV channels offered by PlusTV will also increase to 13 with the signing of new channel agreements with KinoTV and Disney Channel. PlusTV has listened to its customers and launched a new service package that allows customers to customise their channel package to best suit their life situation. According to a recent survey conducted by PlusTV, potential pay-TV customer target groups saw the inability to freely choose and customise their service packages as the greatest obstacle to making the purchase (Purchase Process Survey, January 2008). PlusTV takes the wishes of its customers seriously. Therefore, we are now offering them the chance to build their very own pay-TV package and choose the package size that best suits their life situation. “We are constantly evaluating the wishes of our customers through surveys and customer panels, and we are seeking to develop our products to meet these needs,” comments Vesa Mars, CEO, PlusTV. “Only by listening to our customers have we been able to nearly triple pay-TV penetration and reach over 280,000 subscribers.” PlusTV’s new packages come in three different sizes with three different prices.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

Department of English Capstone Abstracts. 18. http://digitalcommons.northgeorgia.edu/eng_capstone/18 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Department of English at Nighthawks Open Institutional Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in Department of English Capstone Abstracts by an authorized administrator of Nighthawks Open Institutional Repository. Diane Jagels Title: The Animated Phenomenon: Impact Beyond Childhood Abstract This paper responds to the stigma that animated shows are “just for kids,” and that animated cartoons and films have as much importance as shows which star live actors. I analyze several American cartoons from the 2000s and 2010s, such as Phineas and Ferb, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, and Over the Garden Wall, which contain themes that are accessible by multiple age groups, including adults. Some of the themes include: the intelligence of cartoons; representation and the fight against stereotyping; family structures and dynamics; and foreboding themes of insecurities, growing up, and death. Many cartoons have become impactful for older audiences and I draw on firsthand responses from fans, interviews with the shows’ creators, and the episodes themselves to convey the significance of cartoons. .

    Officer-turned-Vigilante: Evan Roderick talks Nick’s epic return to Season 7 of ‘Arrow’ fanfest.com/2018/10/19/officer-turned-vigilante-evan-roderick-talks-nicks-epic-return-to-season-7-of-arrow/ McKenzie Morrell October 19, 2018 Becoming a vigilante must be in the fine print of every actors contract when working on the CW’s Arrow, and if we’re being completely honest– Evan Roderick, who plays Nick Anastas, is the perfect candidate to take the plunge into the action-packed world of Oliver Queen. Nick, who is both a lover and a fighter, is not only an officer of the law, but has set down roots 1/4 with Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum) making him a popular symbol for multiple audiences of the series. That coveted moral compass we see in his character and his dedication both on and off screen to the LGBTQ+ community has quickly made Roderick a fan favorite since his introduction into the series. Season 7 recently premiered on October 15th, and we got a chance to chat with the Canadian actor, who is both humbled and excited about his new ventures on the successful fictional series. From working closely with Dinah Drake to finding out his on-screen boyfriend is Mr. Terrific, we dive deep into Nick’s expertise as law enforcement and what it would be like to join Team Arrow. MCKENZIE MORRELL: Hi Evan, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions for Fan Fest News. Let’s kick things off by having you tell the readers a bit about Nick Anastas on The CW’s Arrow.
