TV 2 Interaktiv and Telenor to Broadcast All Tippeligaen Matches Live on the Internet and to Your Mobile Phone TV 2 Interaktiv and Telenor to broadcast all Tippeligaen matches live on the Internet and to your mobile phone On Tuesday, TV 2 Interaktiv and Telenor launch solutions that allow for an entirely new way to follow Tippeligaen (Norway's "Premier League") and Norwegian football. Together with Norsk Toppfotball (NTF), they now present fxt.no - the football portal which will become Norway's leading meeting place for those interested in football. In launching fxt.no, which will offer Tippeligaen and much more from Norwegian elite football, on the Internet and via mobile phones, TV 2 Interaktiv, NTF and Telenor are exploiting modern broadband and mobile technology to the full and allowing football fans to follow their favourite team almost anywhere. After TV 2 Gruppen and Telenor bought the rights to broadcast Norwegian league matches on all platforms, the companies instigated an ambitious plan to put forward the best possible package to all those interested in football in Norway. "Norway is now becoming a leading football nation, at least when it comes to ways football fans can follow their favourite team," says Kjetil Siem, Director in NTF. "Fxt.no will be Norway's leading football portal. No other website in Norway - and perhaps no other website worldwide - offers the same total, interactive football experience as we do," says Odd Harald Hauge, Project Manager for TV2 Interaktiv's football project. "Telenor's aim is to meet people's communication needs, irrespective of where they find themselves and this cooperation with TV2 and NTF fits perfectly with this vision. Together, we make it possible for football fans to follow their favourite team live, not only on TV, but also on the Internet and via their mobile phones," says Berit Kjøll, Director for the consumer market at Telenor. On Tuesday, Telenor presented the broadband and mobile packages they offer to football fans. The keenest fans can use their mobile phones or PCs to watch league and cup matches for men and women and all of Norway's national side's home games. A mobile package will also cover European football from TV2 and Telenor, including goal alerts from most European leagues, the Champion's League and the World Cup. All Tippeligaen matches will be broadcast live over the Internet and to mobile phones. You will be able to watch up to seven games simultaneously via the Internet or your mobile phone, and zap between the different games. You will also be able to receive goal alerts, with video flashes of all goals. About the football rights agreement: Last summer, TV 2 Gruppen and Telenor, through Telenor Broadcast, bought the rights to Tippeligaen and Norwegian elite football from the Football Association of Norway. Since then, TV 2 Gruppen and Telenor Broadcast have sold the Internet and mobile rights to Telenor Nordic and TV 2 Interaktiv. This agreement allows for the full distribution of Tippeligaen and Norwegian elite football via the Internet and mobile phones. Telenor Group is one of the world's major mobile operators.

    A MESSAGE THAT WE ALL SHARE TITLE SHEET A message that we all share A research of the campaign ‘All that we share’ released in 2017 by TV 2 Denmark. In addition, an understanding of the Danish viewers' interaction with the message hereof and a view of the campaign in an international context. MASTER THESIS IN CULTURE, COMMUNICATION & GLOBALISATION 10th semester, June 2020. Aalborg University STUDENTS Cristian Voicu (20180685) Ida Marie Stenumgaard (20181122) SUPERVISOR Birthe Mousten Nielsen CHARACTERS: 281,574 PREFACE The thesis is made from an interest concerning a Danish TV networks’ decision to use the message of connectedness and diversity as part of their brand identity. We find is interesting to research why TV 2 decided to do this and further, how they did it. In addition to this, we want to see how the Danish consumers interact with this message and, given the large international response to the campaign and its message, we also want to investigate the international viewers' perception of the campaign. We want to give a special thanks to the 12 respondents and to Vicky Wassman Dahi who participated in our data collection and contributed with interesting and essential meanings and insights to our research. Further, we want to thank our supervisor, Birthe, for her perspectives and constructive feedback. We hope you enjoy the reading. Abstract Today companies employ increasingly more complex branding strategies as they try to keep up with the competition and with the evolving needs and behaviours of consumers. Brand managers are turning to using cultural or ideological principles as the core of their branding efforts.

  • Power, Communication, and Politics in the Nordic Countries
    POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES POWER, COMMUNICATION, POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES The Nordic countries are stable democracies with solid infrastructures for political dia- logue and negotiations. However, both the “Nordic model” and Nordic media systems are under pressure as the conditions for political communication change – not least due to weakened political parties and the widespread use of digital communication media. In this anthology, the similarities and differences in political communication across the Nordic countries are studied. Traditional corporatist mechanisms in the Nordic countries are increasingly challenged by professionals, such as lobbyists, a development that has consequences for the processes and forms of political communication. Populist polit- ical parties have increased their media presence and political influence, whereas the news media have lost readers, viewers, listeners, and advertisers. These developments influence societal power relations and restructure the ways in which political actors • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, & Lars Nord • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard communicate about political issues. This book is a key reference for all who are interested in current trends and develop- ments in the Nordic countries. The editors, Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, and Lars Nord, have published extensively on political communication, and the authors are all scholars based in the Nordic countries with specialist knowledge in their fields.

  • Dreamhack Signs Three-Year Agreement for ESL Pro Tour with TV 2
    DreamHack signs three-year agreement for ESL Pro Tour with TV 2 Denmark TV2 Denmark has acquired Danish rights to DreamHack and ESL’s CS:GO tournament circuit, ESL Pro Tour, for 2020-2023 STOCKHOLM – Today, DreamHack and ESL (both part of Modern Times Group MTG AB) announced that TV2 Denmark has acquired the Danish rights to the companies’ joint Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) tournament circuit, ESL Pro Tour, which was announced earlier this year. TV 2 Denmarks acquisition follows a partnership between DreamHack, ESL, and TV 2 Denmark initiated at the beginning of 2019 and includes DreamHack’s renowned CS:GO tournaments DreamHack Open and DreamHack Masters. The agreement is a three-year deal starting in 2020 and expiring February 2023, thus bringing the recently announced ESL Pro Tour in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) to a broad Danish audience. "It is very important to us that the viewers at home get just as great an experience as the on-site audience when watching DreamHack Open and DreamHack Masters", said Peter Nørrelund, co-CEO, DreamHack. "Over this past year, TV 2 Denmark has shown that they are able to provide the Danish audience with just that, a great experienced based on a combination of their high-quality production, a dedicated team, and our content. We are therefore excited to announce this new agreement which will make TV 2 Denmark the go-to source for DreamHack CS:GO content until 2023. This is a strong testament to the attractiveness of the new ESL Pro Tour, which has the potential to revolutionize the world of competitive esports, and significantly lower barriers for advertisers and broadcasters to engage with esports as a channel to reach their key audiences." As part of the agreement TV 2 has platform-neutral exclusive rights in the Danish language.

  • Review of the Communication from the Commission on the Application of State Aid Rules to Public Service Broadcasting
    REVIEW OF THE COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION ON THE APPLICATION OF STATE AID RULES TO PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING. THE REPLY OF THE DANISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION (DR) 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? The Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) welcomes the opportunity to comment on the issues regarding the application of state aid rules to public service broadcasting – as it can be fundamental to the future existence of public service broadcasting. In this regard, it is essential for DR to stress the importance of every Member States right to preserve the sovereignty to define the national public service remit and provide for the funding. Otherwise, it can be impossible to carry out the obligation to promote the cultural, democratic and social activities which is at heart of public service broadcasting. We emphasize the importance of the cultural, democratic and social nature of public service broadcasting Considering the changes in the broadcasting sector which are increasingly relevant as well as the political statements for example in the Lisbon conclusions, DR finds a revision of the current communication relevant if it takes into account and acknowledges the particular aspects of public service broadcasters (PSB).
