Morning Television

Fernando Balsinha

RTVSLO is hosting the first EBU seminar on Morning Television from 13 to 15 March in Maribor, Slovenia.

The aim of the two-day seminar is to bring together chief editors from EBU Members to discuss and work closely with an international panel of experts featuring David Lowen, Director General EuroNews, Guido Barlozzetti, RAI, Vivienne Radermacher, ARD, Zoran Medved, RTVSLO, Tanja Simic, HRT, and Rick Thompson, T-Media.

These international experts will share their ideas and address questions such as:

What type of Morning Television should be produced and broadcast today?
· Who is the audience?
· How can one define and best serve this audience?
· Is news what Morning Television is about? Or is it soft-corner television for adults with cooking, gardening and talk shows?
· Is Morning Television exclusively for children?
· How best to combine these diverging demands and still keep the audience?
· What are the possibilities of coproductions and collaborations on a European scale?

Selected by the EBU Television Committee, three seminars will be organized by the EBU Television Department in 2003 and are open to all EBU Members: Morning Television, Nostalgia Programming and Content Management in New Media

The next EBU Television Seminar will be dedicated to Nostalgia Programming. It will be hosted by ARD in Munich on 27-28 May.
