The results of this process provide encouraging findings to continue along this route. The report below presents the switchover scenario, the experiences gained and the perspectives to be developed from it; a comprehensive documentation is under prepa- ration. 1. The start-up scenario for the switchover The decline of terrestrial reception The number of homes receiving TV through the air has been going down continually in recent years. In national terms, the trend is as follows: 2 This decline could not even be slowed down by the above-average number of ana- The switchover is a prime objective of the European Union's e-Europe action plan.

At the initiative of the states, the Interstate Broadcasting Treaty governing broadcasting in all German states was also amended to permit all public-sector broadcasters to effect the technology changeover as well. Section 52 lit a) entitles public-sector broadcasters to gradually discontinue analogue terrestrial transmission under certain conditions to al- low for the build-up and allocation of digital terestrial transmission capacities in a phased process. Under section 52 lit a) of the Interstate Broadcasting Treaty, television services so far using analogue transmission capacities must be given preference when the first digital terrestrial transmission capacities are allocated. The interstate media services treaty taken out between Berlin and Brandenburg in addition requires the cable network op- erators to continue re-transmission of services after switchover that had been awarded analogue capacities before. Section 46 of the interstate media services treaty regulates the role and participation of the Berlin-Brandenburg regulatory authority, mabb, in the switchover process and enti- tles mabb to draw up special statutes governing the allocation of digital terrestrial fre- quencies. Under this statute, capacities permitting the transmission of broadcasting services, media services and other services may be decided upon and allocated jointly. The allocation can be effected under public law via a public contract. The mabb media Before DTT roll-out, terrestrial reception was as follows: council based its decision of 9 July 2001 on this provision. 160.000 homes with terrestrial reception only In the Memorandum of Understanding agreed on 13 February 2002, 90.000 homes with terrestrial reception for 2nd and 3rd sets of 1.8 millions television households in the area of reception overall. the public-sector broadcasting corporations ARD, ZDF, RBB (successor to ORB and SFB as of May 2003), The DTT pilot project and experiences with DTT all over the world the private broadcasting services of the RTL group and the ProSiebenSAT.1 Me- dia AG, DTT test operation since August 1997 in single-frequency networks in a joint pilot project of Deutsche Telekom, mabb and SFB. and the mabb First frequency (channel 51, n-tv) switched from analogue to digital transmission. laid down the key elements of the switchover. 16-QAM 2/3 modulation established as suitable transmission technology for achieving portable indoor reception.

    A Tear in the Iron Curtain: The Impact of Western Television on Consumption Behavior Leonardo Bursztyn and Davide Cantoni∗ August 2014 Abstract This paper examines the impact of exposure to foreign media on the economic behavior of agents in a totalitarian regime. We study private consumption choices focusing on former East Germany, where differential access to Western television was determined by geographic features. Using data collected after the transition to a market economy, we find no evidence of a significant impact of previous exposure to Western television on aggregate consumption lev- els. However, exposure to Western broadcasts affects the composition of consumption, biasing choices in favor of categories of goods with high intensity of pre-reunification advertisement.

  • Licence Fee for Citizens Simple and Modern
    Licence Fee for Citizens Simple and modern We have long been able to watch television programmes on a tablet and listen to radio on a smart phone. Technical equipment offers an increasing number of functions and changes in the way we use media content. Device-independent licence fees are modern and open to technological progress. For €17.50* per month the licence fee covers all public service broadcasting programmes over all means of distributions. It also ensures that there will be a varied and freely avialable programme for all citizens in the future. Public service broadcasting Independence Public service broadcasting in Germany is an essential part of a modern, democratic society: its programmes play a considerable part in forming of opinion. This solidarity-based funding through the licence fee ensures that everyone has free access to information and enables reporting independent from economic and political interests. Quality ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio offer high-quality-services that inform, educate and entertain: news programmes provide up-to-date and comprehensive information, whilst TV magazines and political talk shows provide background and analyses. Public service broadcasting also represents a unique range of entertainment, such as films, radio plays, TV series, sport and shows. Quality and ratings are not a contradiction, quite the opposite as several media awards show. Variety The programmes on TV, radio and the Internet are as wide-ranging as the interests of those who use them - a large part of the programmes are therefore barrier-free. Public service broadcasting also offers more than just the main channels: such as on ARD’s regional channels, 3sat, ARTE and PHOENIX, and KI.KA as well as on the additional digital channels.

Seen as an outgrowth of the expansion of the communications satellite, the worldwide plunging costs of television set ownership, the recent global cross-investments involving media industries, and the collapse of the superpower conflict, global television networks represent, for most observers, a relatively new idea. 1 “The UNITEL Relay Network Plan,” October 1952, Jackson, C.D.: Records, 1953-54 (hereafter C.

  • Television As History: Representations of German Television
    Linda Schulte-Sasse 32. Rejlections of Fascism (New York: Harper, 1982). See Rentschler, 59. 33. I am referringto some of the earliest studies on Nazi cinema: David Stewart Hull's Film in the Third Reich (Berkeley: U of Califomia P, 1969) and Erwin Leiser's Nazi Cinema, trans. G. Mander and D. Wilson, (New York: 6 Macmillan, 1974). 34. National,sozialistische Filmpolitik:Eine soziologische Untersuchung über die Spielfilme des dritten Reiches (Stuttgart: Enke, 1969). 35. "Propaganda," Screen 18.3 (Autumn 1977): 31. Television as History: 36. "Propaganda" 31. 37. For some interesting analyses of modern political spectacles in the form of Representations of German "Gesamtkunstwerk," see Eric Rentschler, "The Use and Abuse of Memory: Television Broadcasting, New German Film and the Discourse of Bitburg," New German Critique 36 (Fall 1985): 67-90 or Jochen Schulte-Sasse, "Electronic Media and Cultural 1935--1944 Politics in the Reagan Era: The Attack on Libya and Rands Across America as Postmodern Events," Cultural Critique 8 (Winter 1987/88): 123--52. 38. "Der Messingkauf' 563. William Uricchio Walter Benjamin's "Das Kunstwerk im Zeitalter seiner tech­ nischen Reproduzierbarkeit" ("The Work of Art in the Age ofMechanical Reproduction") appeared in the Zeitschrif für Sozialorchung several months after the Reich Broadcasting Company announced "the world' s 1 firstregular television service." The near simultaneity of the appearance of a new mass medium and an implicit critique of its cultural inscription marks a striking conjunction. Given the massive cultural role television subsequently assumed, and Benjamin' s relative marginalization to a small circle of intellectuals, it seems astonishing that his essay achieved a much higher profile in cultural memory than did the considerable develop­ ments of German television broadcasting between 1935 and 1944.
