  • Kapitel II: Konzentrationsentwicklung Im Privaten Rundfunk
    Kapitel II Konzentrationsentwicklung im privaten Rundfunk 1 Bundesweites Fernsehen 1.1 Entwicklung des Programmangebots Bundesweit wurden in Deutschland zum Ende des ersten Halbjahres 2006 37 Free-TV- (davon acht Vollprogramme), 50 Pay-TV-Kanäle und zwei Programme im Handy-TV-Format ausgestrahlt. Weitere 59 Programme verfügten zwar über eine Sendelizenz, waren aber nicht auf Sendung. Diese Angaben basieren auf der von der KEK erstellten Programmliste 2006 (Stand: 30. Juni 2006), die gemäß § 26 Abs. 7 RStV jährlich zu aktualisieren und von den Landesmedienanstalten zu veröffentlichen ist (siehe unter http://www.alm.de/uploads/media/Programmliste_2006.pdf). In der Programmliste sind in alphabetischer Reihenfolge alle bundesweit lizenzierten privaten Fernsehsender sowie die Programmveranstalter und deren Beteiligte aufgeführt. Diese Angaben basieren auf Auskünften der Fernsehveranstalter und auf allgemein zugänglichen Quellen. Zudem sind auf der Website der KEK die Senderangaben sowie die Beteiligungsverhältnisse der Programm- veranstalter in ständig aktualisierter Form abrufbar (vgl. www.kek-online.de, Rubrik Medienkonzen- tration/Beteiligungsverhältnisse/Fernsehsender). Die Entwicklung der privaten bundesweiten Fernsehangebote im Zeitraum Juli 1998 bis Juli 2006 verdeutlicht Abbildung II–1. Dargestellt ist die Anzahl der jeweils veranstalteten Voll- und Spartenprogramme, die Anzahl der ausschließlich digital empfangbaren Spartenkanäle, der Pay- per-View-Angebote, Drittfensterprogramme und fernsehähnlichen Mediendienste, nicht aber die Anzahl der lokalen und regionalen Fernsehangebote. Die Anzahl der bundesweit veranstalteten Fernsehprogramme hat insbesondere in den Jahren 2003 bis 2006 kontinuierlich zugenommen und sich in diesen Zeiträumen nahezu verdoppelt. Anders ist die Entwicklung bei den Sendern bzw. Sendergruppierungen. Hier traten keine signifi- kanten Veränderungen ein. Bei Großveranstaltungen, wie z. B. der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2006, hat das Public Viewing in besonderem Maße das öffentliche Interesse gefunden.
