Correspondence to: J. N. Crowley ([email protected]) Abstract. Through measurements of NO2, O3, and NO3 during the PARADE campaign (PArticles and RAdicals, Diel 15 observations of mEchanisms of oxidation) in the German Taunus mountains we derive nighttime, steady state lifetimes (τss) of NO3 and N2O5. During some nights, high NO3 (~200 pptv) and N2O5 (~1 ppbv) mixing ratios are associated with values of τss that exceeded one hour for NO3 and three hours for N2O5 near the ground. Such long boundary layer lifetimes for NO3 and N2O5 are usually only encountered in very clean/unreactive air masses whereas the PARADE measurement site is impacted by both biogenic emissions from the surrounding forest and anthropogenic emissions from the nearby 20 urbanized/industrialised centres.

    WHERE ARE THE AUDIENCES? Full Report Introduction • New Zealand On Air (NZ On Air) supports and funds audio and visual public media content for New Zealand audiences. It does so through the platform neutral NZ Media Fund which has four streams; scripted, factual, music, and platforms. • Given the platform neutrality of this fund and the need to efficiently and effectively reach both mass and targeted audiences, it is essential NZ On Air have an accurate understanding of the current and evolving behaviour of NZ audiences. • To this end NZ On Air conduct the research study Where Are The Audiences? every two years. The 2014 benchmark study established a point in time view of audience behaviour. The 2016 study identified how audience behaviour had shifted over time. • This document presents the findings of the 2018 study and documents how far the trends revealed in 2016 have moved and identify any new trends evident in NZ audience behaviour. • Since the 2016 study the media environment has continued to evolve. Key changes include: − Ongoing PUTs declines − Anecdotally at least, falling SKY TV subscription and growth of NZ based SVOD services − New TV channels (eg. Bravo, HGTV, Viceland, Jones! Too) and the closure of others (eg. FOUR, TVNZ Kidzone, The Zone) • The 2018 Where Are The Audiences? study aims to hold a mirror up to New Zealand and its people and: − Inform NZ On Air’s content and platform strategy as well as specific content proposals − Continue to position NZ On Air as a thought and knowledge leader with stakeholders including Government, broadcasters and platform owners, content producers, and journalists.

  • How Does Online Streaming Affect Antitrust Remedies to Centralized Marketing? the Case of European Football Broadcasting Rights
    Ilmenau University of Technology Institute of Economics ________________________________________________________ Ilmenau Economics Discussion Papers, Vol. 25, No. 128 How Does Online Streaming Affect Antitrust Rem- edies to Centralized Marketing? The Case of Euro- pean Football Broadcasting Rights Oliver Budzinski, Sophia Gaenssle & Philipp Kunz- Kaltenhäuser July 2019 Institute of Economics Ehrenbergstraße 29 Ernst-Abbe-Zentrum D-98 684 Ilmenau Phone 03677/69-4030/-4032 Fax 03677/69-4203 https://www.tu-ilmenau.de/wm/fakultaet/ ISSN 0949-3859 How Does Online Streaming Affect Antitrust Remedies to Centralized Marketing? The Case of European Football Broadcasting Rights Oliver Budzinski, Sophia Gaenssle & Philipp Kunz-Kaltenhäuser* Abstract: The collective sale of football broadcasting rights constitutes a cartel, which, in the European Union, is only allowed if it complies with a number of con- ditions and obligations, inter alia, partial unbundling and the no-single-buyer rule. These regulations were defined with traditional TV-markets in mind. However, the landscape of audiovisual broadcasting is quickly changing with online streaming services gaining popularity and relevance. This also alters the effects of the condi- tions and obligations for the centralized marketing arrangements. Partial unbun- dling may lead to increasing instead of decreasing prices for consumers. Moreover, the combination of partial unbundling and the no-single-buyer rule forces consum- ers into multiple subscriptions to several streaming services, which increases trans- action costs. Consequently, competition authorities need to rethink the conditions and obligations they impose on centralized marketing arrangements in football. We recommend restricting the exclusivity of (live-)broadcasting rights and mandate third-party access to program guide information to redesign the remedies.
