Public Service On Demand – Nordic Streaming Strategies

On 25 February, 2021 Nordisk Panorama presented a topical online seminar on streaming strategies now and into the future, providing an in depth look at what is going on behind the screens at the Nordic pubcasters.

The seminar delved into questions like: What are the challenges and opportunities the public service broadcasters are facing? How will these public service organizations fulfill their obligations to the public 5 years from now? How are they dealing with the competition from the international platforms? Can they gather the population online? And how do these ongoing changes impact collaborations with independent content providers?

Representatives from the Nordic Public Service Broadcasters — DR, NRK, RUV, SVT and Yle — presented their current and future strategies for streaming and broadcasting, and how those strategies affect their relationships with the Nordic documentary industry.
