The method of collecting statistics on programmes has been reviewed by the authority in charge of reporting statistical data from companies. Discussions have been held with the programme companies on the basis of the data submitted.
SVT/UR: Kunskapskanalen is operated jointly by SVT (40% of broadcasting time) and UR (60%).
UR (Utbildningsradion — Educational Radio) is a public-service enterprise operating with the permission of the government. It does not have its own channel. It broadcasts not only on the Kunskapskanalen but also on SVT1 and SVT2. Therefore, there are no separate audience-share figures for UR. They are included in SVT’s audience shares for SVT1, SVT2 and Kunskapskanalen.
A number of channels that have indicated low audience shares or none at all did not start broadcasting until late 2006.
A large number of feature-film channels broadcast in Sweden. For the purposes of this report, they are classified as niche channels.
Two channels have been exempted since it was considered not “practically possible” for them to meet the requirements under Articles 4 and 5.
-
NonStop Television 2.0 AB: The Star! channel broadcasts only programmes about the Hollywood entertainment industry and reports on American stars and productions. It is not possible in practice for any such channel to contain anything but a very large majority of US-produced programmes.
-
Big Brother KB broadcast its reality show Big Brother Live for only a few months in spring 2005 and 2006, 24 hours a day. There was therefore no scope for the channel to have any independent productions, since it broadcast just a single production.
