  • Bilan De L'économie Des Chaînes Payantes Année 2009
    Bilan de l’économie des chaînes payantes Année 2009 les bilans du CSA Décembre 2010 CONSEIL SUPÉRIEUR DE L ’AUDIOVISUEL Direction des programmes Direction des études et de la prospective Service de l’information et de la documentation Bilan de l’économie des chaînes payantes Année 2009 Bilan 2009 de l’économie des chaînes payantes Comme chaque année, le CSA a dressé le bilan de l’économie des chaînes payantes. Cette analyse, qui ne prend pas en compte la chaîne Canal+, porte sur 99 des 117 chaînes payantes existant fin 2009. Elle fait notamment apparaître que près de 42 % des foyers équipés d’un téléviseur étaient à cette date abonnés à une offre multichaîne payante. Synthèse Un bilan qui porte sur 99 chaînes payantes Le bilan réalisé par le CSA entend par télévision payante tout service qui n’est accessible que par le biais d’un abonnement, que ce soit pour une offre globale, couplée ou non avec d’autres services (internet, téléphone), ou pour des services vendus à l’unité. Cette définition ne tient donc pas compte du financement des services. Au 31 décembre 2009, le nombre des services payants conventionnés ou autorisés en langue française (hors Canal+) diffusés sur le câble, le satellite et l’ADSL en France métropolitaine était de 117, contre 116 en 2008. Parmi ceux-ci, 6 étaient autorisés et 111 conventionnés. Toutefois, les données statistiques qui font l’objet de l’étude portent sur 99 services édités par 58 sociétés. 13 sociétés éditent plusieurs services chacune - Canal J (3 chaînes) : Canal J, June et Tiji ; - Disney Channel

Histoire Paralèlle, a TV show hosted by Marc Ferro with newsreels shown in both countries, 50 years before, became the most watched program of the station, comparing the images the ways in which German and French started the war, as it should be seen and experienced by their fellow citizens. The program became a social- ized process of understanding and historical rewriting, besides standing before the conflict between memory and history, a ques- tion that guided the historiography of the 1990s. This article analyzes Histoire Paralèlle, examining the relationship that it estab- lished with the historiography and filmic production of the historian. Therefore, its theoretical assumptions are re-discussed and historicized in the context of Ferro’s works and through the analysis of three of his programs.

  • Grand Slams’ Are Iconic Global Sports Competitions And, As Proven by the 2017 Australian Open, Capable of Drawing Blockbuster Audiences
    The four tennis ‘grand slams’ are iconic global sports competitions and, as proven by the 2017 Australian Open, capable of drawing blockbuster audiences. Roger Federer’s victory over Rafael Nadal brought Eurosport its largest-ever audience for a tennis match with 20.7 million viewers across Europe, while in the host country, the 3.6-million (4.4-million peak) figure was the highest audience for the final in over a decade. The prestige and image attached to grand slam tennis is not lost on the sport’s broadcast partners. For domestic broadcasters this has led to a continuous fee increase for the quartet of slams. Using Sportcal’s Revenue Dashboard – available to subscribers of the Media Intelligence Centre – to analyse the domestic revenue generated, Sportcal Insight examines how the grand slams have enhanced their domestic rights revenues. Currency conversions, where possible, have been done at the time of the deal and modelled data has been used for incremental rises during a rights agreement. All grand slams have long-running domestic deals with established broadcasters. This, it can be argued, limits competition and the potential for mushrooming revenues, resulting in a more modest rise than might otherwise be the case. In Australia, free-to-air network Seven’s most recent deal with Tennis Australia is under investigation by the country’s corporate watchdog because a competitive bidding process wasn’t launched, amid claims that the governing body could have raised an extra A$50 million ($45 million) had the rights been taken to the open market. The 2017 women’s Australian Open final attracted 360,000 more viewers than the final of T20 cricket’s Big Bash League (aired on another free-to-air broadcaster, Network Ten, at the same time).

Chris Noth will star in the 12 one-hour episodes, created by Matt Lopez (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) to be broadcast in late 2017/early 2018. Gone tells the fictional story of Kit “Kick” Lannigan, survivor of a famous child abduction case and Frank Booth (Noth), the F.B.I. agent who rescued her. Determined never to fall victim again, Kick trains in martial arts and the use of firearms. She finds her calling when Booth persuades her onto a special task force he created dedicated to solving abductions and missing persons cases. Paired with former Army Intelligence officer John Bishop, Kick brings her unique understanding of the mind of a predator to this riveting procedural. Noth joins Gone after a number of prominent roles. He starred as Detective Mike Logan on the original Law and Order, and then joined HBO’s ground breaking series, Sex and the City, where he garnered his first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.
