RADIODAYS EUROPE brings public service and commercial radio together

RADIODAYS EUROPE – the new European radio conference taking place in Copenhagen on 18th and 19th March 2010 – has gained support from the leading radio industry organizations such as EBU, AER, egta, URTI and World DMB Forum. It will bring commercial and public service broadcasters in Europe together to learn about the latest developments in radio and to discuss the challenges and opportunities for radio.

− The goal is to make the best radio conference in Europe, with highly sought-after speakers. It will highlight the challenges and opportunities for radio today as well as the future of the radio as a medium. Radiodays Europe will be strongly rooted in the European radio industry of today, says Project Manager Anders Held.

Brussels, 2 July 2009 – Today representatives of the European media business – including the Association of Commercial Television in Europe (ACT), the Association of European Radios (AER), the European Publishers’ Council (EPC), the European Newspaper Publishers’ Association (ENPA) and the German Association of Commercial Broadcasters and Audiovisual Services (VPRT) – welcomed the conclusion of the revision of the 2001 Broadcasting Communication. The Communication sets out the principles to be followed by the Commission in the application of Articles 87 and 86(2) of the EC Treaty to State funding of public sector broadcasting. In the EU 27, state aid to broadcasting is estimated as being worth at least Euro 22 bn per year. In the current economic environment, it is of ever greater importance that the European Union rules on state aid are rigorously applied so as to ensure that those private sector companies who do not seek public support are not unfairly disadvantaged.
