  • BBC Estreia Novo Canal De TV No Brasil Por Gustavo Brigatto | De São Paulo
    BBC estreia novo canal de TV no Brasil Por Gustavo Brigatto | De São Paulo Jana Bennett, presidente da BBC Worldwide: país é a prioridade em 2012 A BBC vai lançar um novo canal no Brasil. Trata-se do BBC HD, que terá em sua programação séries, documentários, música e outros tipos de conteúdo em alta definição produzidos pela rede britânica. Entre os títulos estão o seriado "Sherlock Holmes", o reality show "Dancing With the Stars" e o programa automobilístico "Top Gear". Será o segundo canal da companhia no país, ao lado do BBC World News. A diferença, diz Jana Bennett, presidente da BBC Worldwide Channels, responsável pelos canais da rede fora do Reino Unido, é que a grade de programação do BBC HD será feita sob medida para o mercado brasileiro, com legendas em português. Alguns programas serão dublados. "Temos muitas produções novas e antigas, que ainda não foram exibidas no Brasil em alta definição. E com o crescimento da TV paga no país, acreditamos que este é o momento apropriado para investir", diz a executiva ao Valor. A operação brasileira será comandada a partir de um escritório em São Paulo. Jana não revela quanto será investido no país, mas afirma que o Brasil é a prioridade da companhia em 2012. Mesmo com o mercado de alta definição engatinhando no país, Jana diz que é importante chegar ao país com a tecnologia, ao invés de estrear um canal com resolução mais baixa. "Somos grandes produtores em HD. E o mercado brasileiro está crescendo muito nesse segmento. Por isso podemos queimar uma etapa", diz a executiva.

  • An Application to Ofcom for the Channel Islands Local DAB Digital Radio Multiplex
    Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands Limited An application to Ofcom for the Channel Islands local DAB digital radio multiplex Part A – Public Section July 2019 Executive summary Please provide a summary of your application, of no more than four pages in length. Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands 1. Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands Ltd (‘TMCI’) was created to establish local DAB digital radio in the Channel Islands, with shareholders who have significant analogue and digital radio experience through broadcasting and multiplex ownership – Tindle CI Broadcasting Ltd and Folder Media Ltd. 2. Tindle CI Broadcasting operates the popular and successful local heritage commercial services in the Channel Islands – Channel 103 and Island FM – which consistently report the highest percentage reach figures in the British Isles, whilst Folder Media has considerable experience as a multiplex operator and content producer, having established the Now Digital and MuxCo networks, and currently managing the MuxCo network as well as multiplexes owned by Wireless Group and Bauer Media. 3. Tindle CI Broadcasting and Folder Media have been developing plans to bring DAB to the Channel Islands since early 2018, initially undertaking research of radio listening habits and digital take-up across the islands, discussing opportunities with Ofcom, and then formally announcing its intention to apply in November 2018. 4. Our ethos is that digital radio should be available in a cost and operationally efficient manner to enable as many organisations as possible to broadcast. TMCI will offer both DAB and DAB+. We believe this is the best way to encourage more stations to join the platform and provide a compelling proposition for digital radio listeners.
