From WOOD@stab.sr.seTue Nov 21 00:58:57 1995 Date: Mon, 20 Nov 1995 15:24:44 +0100 From: George Wood To: wood@rs.sr.se Subject: MediaScan/Sweden Calling DXers 2236 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: MediaScan :: :: SWEDEN CALLING DXERS :: :: from Radio Sweden :: :: Number 2236--Nov. 20, 1995 :: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Satellite, shortwave and other electronic media news from Radio Sweden. This week's bulletin was written by George Wood. Packet Radio BID SCDX2236 All times UTC unless otherwise noted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There's a change in our shortwave schedule to North America. At 14:30 hrs UTC, and only then, 15240 kHz has been replaced by 15245 kHz. Note that the old frequency remains at 13:30 hrs. VIOLENCE AND SEX ON TELEVISION: Violence and sex on television are issues that concern many people, not least parents. Here in Sweden there have been protests about the violence on children's programs. The commercial satellite channel TV3 has announced it will be taking the controversial series "Power Rangers" off the air again in the new year. This follows threatened advertising boycotts from two large retail chains. The boycott threat has also reportedly led the other two major Swedish commercial channels, the satellite-based TV5 Nordic (Femman), and the terrestrial and satellite broadcaster TV4, to begin removing programs with violence from their schedules. ("Dagens Nyheter", TT) In Britain, on the other hand, the objection is to sex, or any kind of nudity, on television. Softcore pornography, freely broadcast in other European countries, is strictly regulated in Britain, and hardcore programs are not permitted at all. Last week the British authorities banned the satellite channel TV Erotica, which is owned by an American company, but uplinked from Sweden. (TT) In today's program, I called up Julian Clover, editor of "Satellite Trader" magazine in London, who told me the last time this happened was to stop a channel uplinked from Denmark, Red Hot Television. In their efforts to stop the uplinking of pornography from Sweden, the British authorities are turning to the European Union. According to one EU diplomat, the case of TV Erotica may wind up in the European Court. NORDIC MEDIA NEWS: TV-SAT--The second TV1000 channel, TV1000 Cinema, has begun broadcasts on TV-Sat 2 on 11.900 GHz. There were problems on TV-Sat on November 6, when the aging satellite lost two of its transponders. The Danish version of Kinnevik's TV6 vanished, along with the private Norwegian station TV Plus. They've since been relocated. TV Plus is now on the hithertoo unused 12.054 GHz on TV-Sat, while TV6 Denmark has replaced SVT 1 on Intelsat 702 at the same location, on 11.679 GHz. SVT 1 has moved to DFS 1 Kopernikus at 33.5 degrees East, 11.492 GHz in D-MAC. (Bertil Sundberg) PIRATE CARDS--A few weeks ago TV1000 and arch-rival FilmNet changed the codes for their D2-MAC pay movie channels, disabling the many pirate decoder cards in circulation. But no sooner had the old pirate cards been turned off than suppliers mailed out invitations to their customers to return the old cards so that new updated chips could be installed. One source for pirate cards is actually advertised on the teletext pages of TV1000's sister channel TV3 (page 822). On the surface it's a Satellite Club, but that just seems to be a front for distributing pirate decoding software. (Bertil Sundberg) By the way, Bertil, Sweden's "Space Doctor", has now opened his own World Wide Web site, at: http://www.algonet.se/~rymdis/EW.htm SWEDISH COMMERCIAL RADIO--Although the law permitting private radio stations is supposed to forbid networks, they do exist, using loopholes in the law. Now Kinnevik, owner of TV3 and TV1000, is merging its P6 radio network with another chain, the Radio Rix stations run by the SRU group of newspapers. The new network consists of 23 local radio stations from Luleaa in the far north to Malmoe in the south, and covers 62 percent of the Swedish population. The common broadcasts are due to begin on February 1st. One immediate result has been that the newspaper G”teborgs Posten in Gothenburg is closing its radio department, laying off 23 employees. (TT, "Dagens Nyheter") P6/DAB--Kinnevik is calling its radio network P6, which has led to a legal conflict with the public broadcaster Swedish Radio, which calls the Stockholm International channel that includes Radio Sweden P6. Our P6 is scheduled to go national along with Swedish Radio's Digital Audio Broadcasting stream, which so far is limited to Stockholm only. When the DAB stream does go national, there's a proposal for a new multi-cultural channel. Starting in 1998, it include music from every part of the world except the United States and Britain. 30 percent of programming would be in immigrant languages. The rest would be in Swedish, the immigrants' common language here, and the hope is that the channel will attract Swedes as well, forming a link between the native and immigrant communities. (TT) EUROPEAN MEDIA NEWS: SUPER CHANNEL--We reported last time that NBC is putting its business channel CNBC on its Astra 1D transponder, and keeping entertaiment programming on Eutelsat II-F1. The split was supposed to be accomplished by the end of February, but the programming began to diverge on October 30. Since then the Astra service has carried CNBC 13:00-21:00 hrs UTC, while CNBC has been carried on Eutelsat II-F1 13:00-17:00 hrs. (James Robinson) TURNER--Turner Broadcasting has revamped its schedule on Astra transponder 37. Yoga Bear is obviously more popular than black and white movie stars of the 30's and 40's. The highly popular Cartoon Network expanded its schedule by 2 hours until 21:00 hrs UTC daily, with a corresponding cut-back in the B and C movies carried on TNT on the same transponder. (James Robinson) APNA-TV--There's a new Indian broadcaster seeking to establish a global presence. Apna-TV is actually based in London, but it broadcasts Hindi- language films for South Asians around the world. The European service is using Russia's Statsionar 11 satellite at 11 degrees West, on its Ku-band transponder on 11.525 GHz, as well as the nearby Ekspress 2 satellite at 14 degrees West, on C-band 3.825 GHz. The channel also says it is relayed over the Russian Ekran satellite at 90 degrees East to South Asia, using the L-band. CATALONIA--Catalonia's TV3 carried election results on the evening of November 19, on Eutelsat II-F2, on 11.162 GHz. EU--The European Commission has made some important decisions recently regarding Europe's future telecommunications infrastructure. In today's program our EU correspondent Joe Kirwin reports from Brussels, that with digital technology moving rapidly, and the 1998 deadline for deregulation of the European telecom industry fast approaching, the Commission is trying to keep up with a series of new legislative proposals. (Reuters) ARIANE--Europe's Ariane rocket successfully launched the European Space Agency's Infra-Red Space Observatory on November 16. (Reuters) The next scheduled Ariane launches are to carry France's Telecom 2C and India's INSAT-2C on December 6, followed by Christmas Day by Panamsat-3R and Malaysia's Measat-1. (Space Calender) NASA SELECT--NASA Select TV has been spotted at Eutelsat II-F2, on 11.75 GHz. (Kauto Huopio, Finland) This is the new location of the US Information Agency's WorldNet, which is broadcasting with a cut-down schedule, and sharing the transponder with Med-TV. The NASA broadcast seems to have been a temporary relay only. NASA Select TV is carried around the world over the Internet, using the CU-SeeMe format. See our MediaLinks Web page for links to CUSeeMe information. CHILDREN'S CHANNEL--Rupert Murdoch is trying to buy a controlling stake in The Children's Channel, which is part of the British Sky Broadcasting Multichannels package, but 100 percent owned by TCI's British subsidiary Flextech. Murdoch's Twentieth Century Fox is trying to buy TCC to provide a British outlet for its many programs for children and young people. ("What Satellite TV") TRAVEL CHANNEL--The Travel Channel is starting a French edition. Unlike the current English-language channel, the new one will have more local material, and will concentrate more on vacations and luxury vacations. (Frank Oestergren, "Aftonbladet") SCOTLAND--Commercial broadcaster Scottish Television is working with Flextech to launch The Scottish Channel on cable networks next year. The intention is to put it up on satellite as well, as soon as possible, in order to reach Scots living outside Scotland. ("What Satellite TV") SHOPPING--A new channel called Shop Europe is to replace TV3 Norway on Astra transponder 31, when Kinnevik's channels finally do leave Astra. (James Robinson) FRANCE--Private televison broadcaster TF1 and state-owned France Televison on Thursday said they were joining forces to set up a French language digital satellite service to counter a flood of American culture. France Television head Jean-Pierre Elkabbach and TF1 chairman Patrick Le Lay told reporters they were setting up a joint company to define programmes, select a decoding system and plan a marketing strategy. The private broadcaster controlled by building conglomerate Bouygues and the owner of the public France 2 and France 3 channels said they had already decided to use the satellites of the Eutelsat organisation. French broadcasters fear the flood of American networks and programmes on the Astra satellites, run by Luxembourg-based Societe Europeene des Satellites (SES). France is particularly concerned about the risks to its language and identity posed by a free and large offering of U.S. and English language television programmes. Former Culture Minister and now Justice Minister Jacques Toubon last year failed to rally other European Union countries around a proposal to impose production quotas on television stations to defend the European industry. At the moment, most television services use analogue delivery methods. But the next generation of television technology will use digital methods permitting far more networks and other services with better image and sound quality. TF1 and France Television decided to join digital forces after they had separately opted for Eutelsat, which already carries such small French language broadcasters as Sept/Arte, TV5, Euronews and La Cinquieme. (Reuters) THAILAND--Tele-satellit's German news editor, Peter Klanowski, has heard from Krath-Telecom in Aachen the news that Thai TV will begin broadcasting in Europe from next year. Tests are scheduled to begin from mid-November and the channel will begin full time broadcasting from 1 January 1996 on Eutelsat 2F3 at 11.163 GHz, Horizontal. We also understand the service will be encrypted and cost DM 56 a month with a decoder priced at DM 200. We have no information about which system the channel will use at present but understand it could be Nagravision. ("Tele-satellit") MIDDLE EASTERN MEDIA NEWS: TURKEY--The Turkish Kanli 7 has moved from its test position on Eutelsat II-F3, and is now broadcasting on Turksat on 11.010 GHz. This is supposed to be the European beam, but signals are extremely weak in northern Europe, home of many of the Turkish immigrants who are the presumed audience. Turkish officials have announced they are planning to launch a second Turksat in June, and a third satellite in 1999. Agreements have been signed with France's Aerospatiale. ("Turkish Press Review") One hopes the new satellites will have better European beams than the current Turksat. EGYPT--Egypt has also signed an agreement with a French consortium led by Matra Marconi Espace to build and launch Egypt's first satellite. NileSat will begin operating in mid-1997, and is supposed to cover the Arab world, the Americas, and Asia. That seems a bit exaggerated, as there's hardly a single position in the Clarke Belt that permits that kind of coverage. The new satellite will offer 16 channels of sports, movies, children's and cultural programs. (AP) Egypt currently has two channels on Eutelsat II-F3 at 16 degrees East. The all-Arabic language Egyptian Space Channel puts a powerful signal into northern Europe (where there are unlikely to be many viewers), while Nile TV, which carries programs about Egypt in English and French, uses a weak half transponder, and is barely visible. NORTH AMERICAN MEDIA NEWS: MURDOCH EYED TIME-WARNER--The "New Yorker" magazine has reported that Rupert Murdoch seriously considered spearheading a more than USD 40 billion bid to buy the Time Warner communications empire but abandoned the idea in late October. Time Warner announced in September that it was buying Turner Broadcasting System Inc. for USD 7.5 billion. According to the "New Yorker", Murdoch thought the merger with Turner would frustrate his own expansion plans. If Murdoch headed such a bid, it could have led to the world's largest takeover, surpassing the more than $25 billion paid by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts in 1988 to buy RJR Nabisco. The article also detailed a summer meeting between Murdoch and TCI's John Malone in which the two men discussed ways of helping Ted Turner make a bid for CBS. Turner did not make the bid and instead agreed to a merger with Time Warner, which Malone, as a major shareholder in Turner Broadcasting, went along with. The "New Yorker" says Murdoch's major goal was to find a way to gain control of Turner's Cable News Network. (Reuters) PANAMSAT--As part of its ongoing expansion program, PanAmSat Corp. has requested U.S. government approval to operate several new international communications satellites that will expand its broadcast and telecommunications services throughout the Americas by the year 2000. PanAmSat has applied to the FCC to operate international communications satellites in orbital locations that traditionally have been used for domestic U.S. satellites, 79 and 103 degrees West in both the C-band and the Ku-band. In addition to these orbital slots, PanAmSat has requested FCC approval to operate two new satellites that will provide international communications services over Ka-band frequencies. These satellites would be located at 58 degrees West Longitude and 79 degrees West Longitude. PanAmSat currently operates three satellites: PAS-1 serving the Atlantic Ocean Region; PAS-2 serving the Pacific Ocean Region; and PAS-4 serving the Indian Ocean Region. Three additional Atlantic Ocean Region satellites are under construction, including the soon to be launched PAS-3 replacement. The company also plans in 1997 to launch PAS-7 over the Indian Ocean Region and PAS-8 over the Pacific Ocean Region. ("Tele-satellit") LATIN AMERICAN MEDIA NEWS: MURDOCH DOES LATIN AMERICA--Tele-Communications Inc. is expected to join News Corp., Mexico's Televisa and Brazil's Globo in announcing a joint venture to bring direct-to-home TV to Latin America, the daily Variety reported. It quoted sources close to the deal as saying TCI President and CEO John Malone may join Rupert Murdoch, Televisa CEO Emilio Azcarraga and Globo's deputy director general Roberto Irineu Marinho for an announcement in New York, with a satellite link to the Jornadas de Cable pay-TV show in Buenos Aires. One source said the alliance will involve three platforms -- for Mexico, Brazil and the rest of Latin America -- with Televisa, Globo and News Corp. heading distribution in the respective areas. Thanks to its strong presence in the Argentine and Chilean cable arenas, TCI will likely have a sizable minority stake in the rest of Latin America platform, and a smaller stake in the Mexican and Brazilian set-ups. TCI's entry in the Latino DTH arena presents an extra challenge for Hughes Communications and its allies in Galaxy Latin America, a DTH project set to launch in March 1996. Before TCI and Televisa joined News Corp.-Globo, GLA appeared to be the frontrunner. However, experts say the new alliance has far superior potential satellite capacity, as it plans to use the transponders News Corp. and Globo have already booked with Intelsat plus the three PanAmSat birds that Televisa will bring to the alliance. On the other hand, industry insiders expect GLA to launch up to three months ahead of its rival. The accord marks the second time in three weeks that TCI and News Corp. have struck a major deal, having announced a global sports alliance in late October. The two deals imply several synergies. For example, TCI owns pan-Latino sports web Prime Deportiva and has a 35 percent stake in Torneos y Competencias, an Argentine programmer with exclusive rights to all top-flight national soccer games. TCI sought to ally with Televisa once before. In May 1993, it agreed to buy 49 percent of Televisa paybox Cablevision, and jointly expand pay- TV services throughout Latin America. But the deal later fell apart. (Reuters) ASIAN MEDIA NEWS: ASIASAT--Asia Satellite Telecommunications Ltd (AsiaSat) will launch its next satellite, Asiasat-2, on November 28th. A Chinese Long March rocket will carry the broadcasting satellite into orbit from the Xichang satellite launch facility. ("AsiaSatLink") The satellite will replace the original Asiasat-2 lost during an explosion shortly after take-off last January and add much needed capacity to Asia's skies. Amongst broadcasters already confirmed to broadcast on the satellite are Star TV and China's CCTV. ("Tele- satellit") MURDOCH EXPANDS IN ASIA--Rupert Murdoch's Star-TV is getting ready to take the plunge into digital TV to Asia. Asiasat-2 will boost coverage of Star-TV into Eastern Europe and Australia. Addressing the News Corp annual meeting, in Adelaide, Australia, Rupert Murdoch said Star-TV would experience "great growth" during the next 12 months, noting that the Hong Kong-based broadcaster would launch a package of 15 movie channels into Indonesia in six months, while working on its first venture into Japan. Murdoch said that during the next six months Star would broadcast movie channels in five languages -- Mandarin, Hindi, English, Bahasa Indonesia and Tagalog -- and within 12 months would add Cantonese and Japanese. Sports would remain a key element of Star's television strategy and Star was looking to develop more youth-oriented services based on the format of India's Channel V. "That is our strategy -- to dominate in four key programme categories: sports, music, movies and general entertainment," Murdoch explained. (Reuters) AUSTRALIA TOO--Murdoch is expanding in Australia as well. Foxtel, a 50-50 joint venture group between Murdoch's global media machine News Corp Ltd and state-owned telecom group Telstra Corp, has announced a tie-up with pay-TV group Australis Media Ltd. The deal would create the most powerful pay-television group in Australia, combining Australis' microwave and satellite services with Foxtel's plans to roll out a 20-channel cable pay-TV service. Analysts estimate the enlarged group would have access to 90 percent of Australian homes. Most analysts expect Foxtel to effectively take over Australis, giving the Murdoch pay-TV service a so-called back-door listing on the local exchange. The enlarged Foxtel would strike a harsh blow to the third player in Australia's pay-TV industry, Optus Vision, which is partly financed by Australia's richest man and long-time Murdoch rival Kerry Packer. But their rivalry didn't prevent Rupert Murdoch and Kerry Packer from reaching an uneasy truce in late September when Murdoch's British Sky Broadcasting formed an alliance with Packer's Nine Network to launch a 24 hour news channel for Australia. Packer's Optus Vision and Murdoch's Foxtel have both agreed to carry the service, which will be called News Channel. Domestic and international news will be provided in part by Sky News in London and Nine Network's news resources. (Reuters) JAPAN--Thousands of satellite TV viewers in South Korea and China lost access to Japanese DBS transmissions for at least a week in late October. On October 24 what was described as a "positioning error" caused BS-3A, Japan's primary direct broadcast satellite, to be taken out of service. The back-up satellite, BS-3N, is less powerful. Japanese viewers noticed little difference in reception of the four channels involved, but fringe viewers in farther off areas of Asia could no longer see the programming, until BS-3A was repositioned. (Curt Swinehart) A month after announcing it had won a licence to uplink from Japan, PanAmSat has formally received the authorization. It will enable the American company, the world's largest private satellite operator, to begin offering services from the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC) meeting in Osaka. Until now, PanAmSat had been made to sell its services via local affiliates. The entry of the company into the market is expected to result in a dramatic drop in charges for international satellite time from Japan. ("Tele-satellit") INDIA--United Artists Programming, a subsidiary of TCI's British subsidiary Flextech, is planning to launch tailored versions of its chnnels in India over the next few months. Candidates include Bravo, Discovery, and TCC. ("What Satellite TV") GLOBAL MEDIA: PANAMSAT--PanAmSat's new PAS-4 has entered operation at 68.5 degrees East. According to "Tele-Satellit" monitors, the following transponders are already in use: Monitored in South Africa: 12.5375 V M-Net South Africa 12.6645 V SABC TV 1 12.6975 V SABC CCV 12.7245 V SABC NNTV 12.7405 V CDAT (courtesy Michael Cookson, TELE-satellit South Africa) Monitored in Australia: 3.905 V Sony Entertainment Television 3.912 H Carrier 3.935 H Test Pattern - "PAS 2 SYLMAR, CA." 3.965 V CNN International 3.995 V CNN Newsource 4.035 V NHK TV-Japan 4.111 H CNBC Asia (courtesy Nathan Kopel, International Radio Monitors and Peter Merrett) Also reported, from Europe, are the following channels, all in clear PAL: 3790 MHz Asian Business News 3870 MHz ESPN 3910 GHz Sony 4040 GHz unknown Indian channel 4085 GHz CNN International 4115 GHz Cartoon Network/TNT 4190 GHz MTV Asia 12.6 GHz NHK Other channels reported from PAS-4 in South Asia include Indian channels EETV and YES, and Discovery. South Africa's SABC says it hopes to have 14 pay TV channels on the air by the end of next year. The SABC says the system could eventually be expanded to as many as 21 channels. Japan's NHK is using the satellite to link Tokyo to Paris and India's Doordarshan has also announced it will be using the satellite for services to Asia and Europe. Hong Kong Telecom also says it will begin using PAS-4. Other planned broadcasters include China Central Television, Disney, HBO, Liberty Media Corp., and Viacom.
