09:30 The 2020 Cision: The day of Answers and Ideas Welcome to the second day of the conference, in which we find out how regional public service broadcasting is well-placed to grasp the opportunities of the new decade of decisions. David Lowen, media consultant and former President of Circom Regional
09:35 Regional TV in the new European Audiovisual panorama As competition for viewers becomes fiercer, what evidence exists, if any, for who watches what, when and why in Europe? What regional channels are available and by what means of viewing? What do we know about regional programme watching and the market share of regional channels and about the programming range available? Chair: Zoran Medved, RTV Slo Maribor, Deirdre Kevin, European Audiovisual Observatory presentation
10:00 The 2020 Answer: A competitive schedule with attractive content Linear TV may be challenged but it is a long way from being dead. It is still capable of delivering “event TV” and a valuable service to citizens. Given the evidence from the EAO in the previous session, how can regional public service channels schedule programmes to maximum benefit? Chair: Zoran Medved, RTV Slo Maribor, John Ranelagh, TV2 Norway, Jean-Marc Dubois, FTV presentation Michel Gregoire, European Association of Television and Radio Sales presentation Deirdre Kevin, European Audiovisual Observatory
11:00 Coffee break
11:15 The 2020 answer: Small stations, big ideas Ideas are not the privilege of the rich and large. Anyone can have them and some station, because they are small must have them. They do not have consultants lining up to help – even if they could afford them. They may be a long way from headquarters. It is time for Do It Yourself TV – and these are just the ideas which could help your station too. Chair: Jean-Marie Belin, FTV, Jean-Jacques Torre, FTV Corse, Dr Natalino Fenech, PBS Malta presentation Maria Georgiadou, CyBC presentation
12:15 The 2020 Answer: A new news for a new decade There has been criticism of the way news reports and analysis failed to explain the recession so viewers could understand its intensity; a scandal over evidence for climate change; and there are continuing dangers following the Danish cartoons which some Moslems claimed insulted Islam. In a more diffuse Information Society, how should regional public service broadcasters attack these journalistic issues? Chair: Christine Agren, SVT, Maarten Edelenbosch, RTVNH presentation Dr John Avellino, Adviser PBS and Malta Government Tony O’Shaughnessy, BBC Wales
13:15 Lunch Break, with TV Dating at the restaurant lunch tables
14:30 The 2020 Answer: Future TV and social networks Who is to say that the rapidly changing technology of the media will not be to the comparative advantage of regional public service stations, especially when a regional broadcaster is so close to its audience? What we need is guidance from those regional broadcasters who have understood the changes needed – and made it work to their benefit. Norway and NRK have an answer they can share. Chair: Gerard Schuiteman, Roos RTV and Marius Arnesen, NRK Beta

15:00 The 2020 Answer: Social networking works Regional public service stations share the same market place as their viewers and a station’s reporters live amongst the viewers they serve. It is this closeness that can be exploited by the 21st century phenomenon of social networking. So who is successful at it and, more importantly, how can our stations exploit it fully? Chair: Gerard Schuiteman, Roos RTV, David Wood, EBU, Richard Gutjahr, BRF presentation Katharina Borchert, Spiegel-online and Marius Arnesen, NRK Beta

16:15 The 2020 Answer: Explore and exploit your archives Regional television stations often store the region’s video history but, as guardians, they do not always know what they have and, as communicators, they do not know either how to make it available to their citizen viewers or exploit it commercially. This session should give you some useful ideas. Chair: Tone Kunst, NRK, Maire ni Chonlain, TG4 Ireland, David Wood, EBU and Nick Simons, BBC Online Strategy presentation
