Description

Widely acclaimed as unique in its range and rigour, the Television across Europe survey found that television stood on the brink of immense change – nowhere more than in the new democracies of central and eastern Europe. However much they may have wanted to ignore it, traditional broadcasters as well as governments in those countries were on the cusp of the ‘digital revolution’.
Since 2005, the pace of change in television has reached breakneck speed, affecting the patterns and models of production, transmission, consumption, marketing, financing and ownership. In order to take the measure of these changes, OSI has revisited nine of
the countries that were included in the 2005 monitoring, where broadcasting has undergone significant change in the intervening three years: Albania, Bulgaria, the
Czech Republic, Italy, Lithuania, the Republic of Macedonia, Poland, Romania and HDTVSlovakia.
