Digital TV Partnership Digital TV partnership NRK, TV 2 Gruppen AS and Telenor Broadcast have entered into a partnership agreement to consider applying for a licence for a digital terrestrial network in Norway. If the partners agree to apply, such application will be submitted by Norges televisjon (NTV), in which the three partners will hold equal ownership shares. In June 2005, the Ministry of Transport and Communication and the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs announced that a licence for a digital terrestrial network for TV in Norway would be issued. The digital terrestrial network will replace the current analogue network, which today secures TV reception via regular antennas. Should NTV decide to apply for, and be awarded such licence, all Norwegian viewers will be offered easy access to a wide selection of TV channels with sound and images of the highest quality. The parties have agreed to commit to open technical solutions that will ensure an easy transition to the digital terrestrial network. The new network will also accommodate a number of pay TV providers. NRK, TV 2 Gruppen AS and Telenor have all considered different solutions and partnerships. "Together, the three of us have agreed that this partnership will secure the easiest and best transition from the current analogue system to the digital world of the future," said Kåre Valebrokk, Head of TV 2 and Board Chairman of NTV. The establishment of the digital terrestrial network involves a major national effort, as well as a considerable amount of risk. The partnership between NRK, TV 2 Gruppen AS and Telenor Broadcast will ensure top technical and editorial expertise, as well as the financial strength to complete the rollout of the network. "I am pleased that the three of us have agreed upon a good and sensible agreement. Our disappointments of this spring, relating to the objections presented by Telenor, which caused a certain delay to the project, are now behind us. The key issue for NRK is to ensure that our licence payers are offered easy access to all our services," said Director of Broadcasting John G. Bernander. NTV was established in 2002, with the aim of securing a license to establish and operate Norway's future broadcasting network for digital TV. Today, NTV is jointly owned by TV 2 Gruppen AS and NRK, each holding a 50 per cent ownership share. As part of the new partnership agreement, Telenor Broadcast will assume ownership of a share of NTV. The three companies will own a third each, making them equal partners, and neither party will have control of the company. Depending on the outcome of deliberations, NTV will apply for a licence and assume responsibility for all relevant liabilities and rights. The parties have also agreed to establish a new company ("NTV II"), which will offer pay TV services over the digital terrestrial network. NTV II will operate under the same ownership structure, i.e. NRK, TV2 Gruppen AS and Telenor Broadcast will each hold one third of the company. Telenor Group is one of the world's major mobile operators. We keep our customers connected in our markets across Scandinavia and Asia. Our more than 30,000 employees are committed to responsible business conduct and being our customers' favourite partner in digital life. Connecting the world has been Telenor's domain for more than 160 years, and we are driven by a singular vision: to empower societies. "The combination of our extensive experience from digital TV, and NRK's and TV 2's editorial strength, will secure the expertise required to succeed with such an extensive project," said Executive Vice President of Telenor Broadcast, Stig Eide Sivertsen. The deadline for applications for the digital terrestrial network for TV in Norway is 30 September.

  • Hystad, Halvdan Ramsdal.Pdf
    Sammendrag Denne oppgaven setter søkelys på utbredelsen og bruk av internett over bredbåndstilkoblinger i norske hustander og bedrifter. I oppgaven beskrives ett paradigmeskifte for tradisjonelle formidlingsvirksomheter innen nyhets- og underholdningsmedieformidling. Internett som verktøy viser til å ha endret spillereglene i interaksjonen mellom formidlingsvirksomheter og deres kunder. Mange aktører leter etter nye, effektive og lønnsomme organisasjonsstrukturer for å møte den nye hverdagen. Utviklingstrekkene som synes klare i denne oppgaven er at man går mer og mer i retning av at produksjon og konsumpsjon av innhold i stadig større grad blir digitalisert. Samtidig er en modnet gruppe av internettbruker i ferd med å ta del i å skape sin egen nyhets og underholdningshverdag. Dette har delvis kommet som en årsak av tilgjengeligheten til internett, som er høy, og delvis ved at stadig flere produkter og tjenester orienterer seg mot internett som formidlings- og salgskanal. Oppgaven viser til en rekke eksempler på selskaper, tjenester og applikasjoner som over de siste 5 årene har vert med å prege utviklingsretningen. Videre presenteres noen konsepter og applikasjoner som kan være med å prege den fremtidige utviklingen. Avslutningsvis blir det gitt en skisse over de endringer i organisasjonsstruktur og tilordning til markedene moderne formidlingsvirksomheter i en media 2.0 hverdag kan ta inn over seg og planlegge i sine effektiviserings- og restruktureringsplaner som er aktuelle med hensyn på konjunktursvingninger som skyldes finanskrisen

  • Nordic Drama
    NORDIC DRAMA PUBLIC SERVICE ORIGINALS A stronger Nordic public service drama collaboration The Nordic public service media companies DR, NRK, RUV, SVT and Yle have in recent years been renowned for outstanding Nordic drama productions. High quality drama with a clear local anchoring and strong public service ambitions has become one of our distinguishing trademarks. To ensure that strong, local drama remains a trademark of the Nordic public service broadcasters in a digital world, the Nordvision partners have decided to build a stronger public service drama portfolio. A strengthening that will increase both the volume of Nordic drama that each company have available on their “players” as well as the quality of the publishing right the partners secure for each other. A clear focus on drama that reflects a Nordic culture, reality and identity fits naturally with the public service mission, and it provides a genuine and recognizable promise to the users that sets Nordic public service apart from other content providers. The initiative is called “Nordic Twelve” (N12). What is N12? N12 – is a yearly package of 12 Nordic drama series with 12 month of rights in the Nordic region. In the following you can find all the N12 drama series: N12 - 2018, N12 - 2019, and some drama series from N12 - 2020. The Nordic partners also co-produce between 8 and 10 young adult drama series a year.

  • Public Service Broadcasting As an Object for Cultural Policy in Norway and Sweden a Policy Tool and an End in Itself
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Göteborgs universitets publikationer - e-publicering och e-arkiv Nordicom Review 32 (2011) 2, pp. 35-47 Public Service Broadcasting as an Object for Cultural Policy in Norway and Sweden A Policy Tool and an End in Itself Håkon Larsen Abstract The future of public service broadcasting (PSB), and its role for democracy and culture in an age of globalization and digitalization, is a disputed issue among communication scholars, journalists, the general public and politicians. The PSB institutions are dependent on politi- cal support for their survival, and they have to live up to cultural policy obligations. The focus of this analysis is on the rhetoric employed in the white papers on PSB and overall cultural policy, produced between 2005 and 2007 in Norway and Sweden. The analysis shows that both countries emphasize the need to secure an inclusive public sphere, a vivid democracy and a national culture. The rhetoric differs in the sense that the Norwegian focus is on PSB as a tool for achieving cultural policy goals, while the Swedish focus is more on why the idea of PSB is important in itself. Keywords: public service broadcasting, cultural policy, media policy, cultural repertoire, Norway, Sweden Introduction Public service broadcasters have traditionally been strong media institutions in Scandi- navia. Today, the institutions are struggling to maintain their centrality and importance, as a result of the ongoing technological and economical development within the media landscape. The future of public service broadcasting (PSB) is a debated issue among scholars, politicians, journalists and the general public – “The new context of PSB has serious consequences for every aspect of its operations: for its mission, programming, organization and funding” (Bardoel and l’Haenens 2008: 342).

  • The Autonomy of Scandinavian Public Service Broadcasters During Election Campaign Periods Principles and Practices
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Göteborgs universitets publikationer - e-publicering och e-arkiv 10.2478/nor-2013-0043 Nordicom Review 34 (2013) 1, pp. 63-76 The Autonomy of Scandinavian Public Service Broadcasters During Election Campaign Periods Principles and Practices Kjersti Thorbjørnsrud Abstract This comparative case study explores the formal and informal principles governing election formats produced by the public service broadcasters in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The focus is on external regulation vs. journalistic autonomy and on principles of balance and access. The conclusion is that the Scandinavian broadcasters, to a larger extent than broadcasters in other Western countries, independently control the form and content of their election formats. This journalistic autonomy, however, has brought about election formats governed by different principles of access. The Danish and Swedish formats are based on a moderate stopwatch logic, whereas the election formats in Norway center on criteria of audience appeal, resulting in a model of access disproportionately favoring certain political parties. The high degree of journalistic control of election formats in Scandinavia, paired with the low control of political parties encourage a discussion of some of the central premises in the Democratic Corporatist Model. Keywords: election coverage, regulation, journalistic autonomy, broadcasters, models of media and politics Introduction Debates between incumbents and their rivals and the journalistic interrogation of party leaders on TV during election campaign periods usually attract large audiences (Cole- man 2000). For broadcasters, these media events are attractive to organize, produce and transmit. For political leaders, the stakes are high when taking part in such formats, and they share an interest in influencing their form and content.
