Arbeidsgruppen (også kalt Digitalradiogruppen) skulle identifisere tiltak som kan legge til rette for overgangen fra analog til digital radio. Arbeidsgruppen ble oppnevnt den 21. februar 2005, og legger med dette frem sin rapport. Fredrikstad, 19. desember 2005 Lars Winsvold leder (sign.)

  • The Future of Radio Broadcasting in Europe Replies to Questionnaires
    Rapportnummer Datum RSPG10-349 bis 2010-09-23 The future of radio broadcasting in Europe Replies to questionnaires Working Group RSPG10-316 Future of Radio Broadcasting Post- och telestyrelsen Box 5398 102 49 Stockholm 08-678 55 00 [email protected] www.pts.se Kommunikationsmyndigheten PTS Post- och telestyrelsen 2 Introduction At its meeting on the 11th February 2010 the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG) decided that there was a need to study in more detail the future of radio broadcasting in Europe with a view to understand possible spectrum implications. A working group was formed to undertake the work, chaired by Sweden. Two questionnaires were sent out by the group to both member states and industry – asking for the view on strategic challenges and opportunities of the radio broadcasting sector today. The questionnaire to member states was comprised of four parts – public policy objectives, market issues, European initiatives and usage of spectrum. In the case of the industry the questionnaire was comprised of four questions covering both market and technical aspects. However, not all replies covered all questions. The conclusions by the Working Group based on these replies can be found in a separate report presented to RSPG in November 2010. In this document the replies from member states are presented as is – the replies from industry have been sorted in the order of reasoning that the fore mentioned report has been put together. There is however a great value just in having all the replies being put together as in this document – for everyone to take part of and gain knowledge of the status of Radio Broadcasting in Europe today.

  • Lydkvalitet I DAB Digitalradio Forskningsrapport 350
    UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Institutt for informatikk Lydkvalitet i DAB digitalradio Audio quality in DAB digital radio Forskningsrapport 350 Sverre Holm ISBN 82-7368-307-9 ISSN 0806-3036 30. januar 2007 0. Presisering og retting Etter at rapporten ble skrevet er det gjort flere lyttetester og flere analyser i forbindelse med arbeidet med internasjonal versjon [A]. I den forbindelse er det behov for å presisere rapportens argumentasjon bedre og å korrigere noen unøyaktigheter. Argumentasjonen i rapporten Argumentasjonen er tredelt: 1. Hovedpoenget i rapporten er at det ikke er vanskelig å høre problemer med lydkvaliteten ved stereo ved 128 kbps. Rapporten bygger på lytting på musikk på P1 på 128 kbps og sammenligning med FM og 192 kbps. P1 kodes på de beste lydkoderne fra testen i [B]. Resultatet er konkretisert mer i [A] basert på nye lyttetester. Stereobildet blir smalere ved 128 kbps for høyfrekvente instrumenter slik som hi-hat. Hvor mye er bl.a. avhengig av hvordan mikrofonbruk og miks har vært under produksjon av låten. Slike effekter har ikke FM stereo. 2. Målingene gir forklaringen fordi de avslører hvordan stereokodingen foregår ved 128 kbps. DABs stereokoding fungerer som en bil med fire gir, og målingene viser at stereoproblemene kommer av at den må ned i det laveste giret ved 128 kbps. Dette er siste gir før koderen gir opp og går over i mono. Da er høyre og venstre kanal så og si like og har ingen faseforskjell for all lyd over 3 kHz. Som et sekundært resultat ble det også målt øvre grense for diskant. Dette er bekreftet ved å gjøre samme undersøkelse om igjen på en Azur 640T DAB/FM Tuner.

    Norwegian School of Economics Bergen, Spring 2016 Competitive aspects of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation’s (NRK) radio services Advertising and diversity in a two-sided radio market Atle Haugen and Gjermund Lien Supervisors: Hans Jarle Kind and Øivind Anti Nilsen Master’s Thesis, MSc in Economics and Business Administration, Economic Analysis (ECO) and Economics (ECN) NORWEGIAN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS This thesis was written as a part of the Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at NHH. Please note that neither the institution nor the examiners are responsible − through the approval of this thesis − for the theories and methods used, or results and conclusions drawn in this work. 2 Acknowledgements Working with this thesis has been extremely rewarding, and we feel privileged to have had the possibility to study a topic that both interests us and at the same time is subject to public debate. We would like to thank our two supervisors, Øivind Anti Nilsen and Hans Jarle Kind, for constructive feedback throughout the writing process. Their insights within empirical methods and two-sided markets have been very helpful. We would also like to thank MTG, Bauer Media and NRK for helpfully providing us with all the data we requested. MTG and Bauer also financed our survey. Without this support, this thesis would have been quite different. Bergen, June 2016 Atle Haugen Gjermund Lien 3 Abstract There has been an ongoing debate in Norway on how the state-owned, commercial-free broadcaster, NRK, influences commercial agents in different media markets. Up to this point, little research has been done on NRK’s impact on the radio market.
