Television in Denmark
Encyclopedia
Television in Denmark was established in the 1950s
and was run by a monopoly with only one channel available until the 1980s.
and consisted of a one hour broadcast three times per week. The broadcasts were initially limited to a few hundred homes in the capital area.
Daily broadcasts started in 1954. With the opening of the Gladsaxe
transmitter, most of Zealand could watch television. The entire country was covered in 1960 when the transmitter on Bornholm
opened. Statsradiofonien was renamed Danmarks Radio
(DR) in 1959.
The first news programme, TV-Avisen, started in 1965. Colour television started test transmissions in 1967, with colour television becoming the norm in filming and broadcasting from 1970 on.
In 1983, DR started trials with the regional television station TV Syd. Local television started in many parts of the country, challenging the DR monopoly. The monopoly on national television ended on 1 October 1988, when TV 2
started. TV 2 was located in Odense
on Funen
and received funding from both advertising and the television license. Eight regional stations were established within TV 2, one of which was TV Syd. Interrupting programmes for commercials was illegal (and still is, as of 2007), so commercials were broadcast between the programmes.
The first private satellite channel broadcasting in the Scandinavian languages had started in 1987 and was known as TV3. A separate Danish version
started in 1990. TV3 was broadcasting from London and could therefore avoid the Danish advertising laws. TV3 launched a sister channel known as 3+ in 1996, by merging its two former channels TV6 and ZTV.
DR launched a satellite channel on 30 August 1996. It was known as DR2
, and the first channel changed its name to DR1
accordingly.
The local television stations weren't allowed to network, which mean't that two stations couldn't show one programme at the same time. In 1997, the rules were relaxed, allowing the stations to simulcast a programme at the same time. This gave birth to the TV Danmark network.
TV 2 started a second channel in 2000. It was known as TV 2 Zulu
and was a solely commercial venture. It was initially a free channel, but was changed into a pay channel in 2003. TV 2 have since launched various pay channels such as TV 2 Charlie
, TV 2 Film
and TV 2 News
.
SBS, owners of TV Danmark, launched a sister channel called TV Danmark 1
in 2002. The original channel became TV Danmark 2. Just as TV3 and TV3+, TV Danmark 1 was broadcast from London. On 4 April 2004, TV Danmark 1 became Kanal 5
. TV Danmark was renamed Kanal 4
on 3 April 2006 and left the terrestrial network on 1 January 2007. It was replaced by SBS Net, owned by the same company.
As both DR and TV 2 are owned by the state, the state-owned broadcasters have a relatively high viewing share, by European standards. When a new centre-right government was elected in 2001, it announced that it would privatize TV 2 within 100 days. This failed, but TV 2 was transformed into a government-owned company (aktieselskab
) in 2003. TV 2 received license funding for the national channel for the last time in 2004.
, DR2
and TV 2
. The analogue broadcasts were shut down on 31 October 2009.
As of February 2008, only one national multiplex is available, broadcasting DR1
, DR2
, TV 2
and a channel shared by DR Update
and sign language simulcast of DR/TV2 news using the DVB-T
technology and MPEG-2
compression in 64-QAM
mode.
In November 2009 the terrestrial analogue TV service will be shut down and replaced with 3 DVB-T multiplexes, to be joined by a fourth in November 2010.
and Zealand. Another trial was launched in 2002 on northern Jutland
, broadcasting the three public service channels and an experimental regional channel called "TV2/Nord-Digital".
In June 2005, a broad majority consisting of Venstre
, the Conservative People's Party
, the Social Democrats
, the Danish Social Liberal Party
, the Socialist People's Party
and Danish People's Party
agreed that the analogue broadcasts would cease by the end of October 2009.
and TV 2
, as well as DR2
, a stream for signed simulcasts of news programmes on the three other channels and the MHP
services DR extra and TV 2 Extra. On 19 February 2008, DR Update
started broadcasting on the simulcast channel when this channel was not used for simulcasting (between 17 and 20 o'clock). The multiplex was operated by I/S DIGI-TV, a joint-venture between DR and TV 2.
On 11 June 2007 the Danish Ministry of Culture announced that the six parties had agreed on how the extension of the network would continue. Four multiplexes would be given to a commercial gatekeeper which would be required to have a varied offering and would be chosen through a "beauty contest". Another multiplex, MUX 2, would be made available for public service broadcasting, carrying the children and history channel from DR
, a parliament channel, more airtime for the TV 2 regions, public access television and further capacity for DR.
It is expected that the new multiplexes will use the more efficient MPEG-4
compression. MUX 1 will continue using MPEG-2 until 2012 when it switches to MPEG-4.
On 27 March 2008 Boxer
got the gatekeeper rights, and will carry about 30 SDTV channels, some HDTV and DVB-H
(from 2010)
Three of the commercial multiplexes will be made available at the analogue switch-off, while the fourth will be available in October 2010. The commercial gatekeeper would be required to carry at least one channel from neighbouring countries and a local channel. A maximum of 25 percent of the capacity could be used for "high-pay" channels (such as Canal+
) and if the gatekeeper would like to offer mobile television (DVB-H
), 15 percent of the capacity on multiplex used for mobile television would have to given to DR.
