With the increase in the number of live TV channels, audiences must spend increasing amounts of time and energy deciding which shows to watch; this problem is called information overload, and recommender systems (RSs) are effective methods for addressing such problems. Due to the high update rates and low replay rates of TV programs, the item cold-start problem is prominent, and this problem seriously affects the effectiveness of the recommender and limits the application of recommendation algorithms for live TV. To solve this problem better, RSs must consider information in addition to the time slot strategy, which relies on experience. At present, no methods make good use of viewing behavior records. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a viewing environment model called DeepTV that considers viewing behavior records and electronic program guides and includes a feature generation process and a model construction process. In the feature generation process, we defined seven key features by clustering viewing time, distinguishing positive and negative feedback, capturing continuous viewing preference and introducing the remaining time proportion of candidate programs. We normalize the continuous features and add powers of them. In the model construction process, we regard the live TV recommendation task as a classification problem and fuse the above features by using a neural network. Finally, experiments on industrial datasets show that the proposed model significantly outperforms baseline algorithms.

The article presents the results of an empirical study conducted in January-February 2018, aimed to reveal how Russian television channels are implementing the requirements of the law “On Protection of Children against Information Detrimental to Their Health and Development”. We conducted a review of more than 45,000 broadcasting elements (TV programs, movies, serials, cartoons, etc.), which were aired in early 2018. It turned out that more than half of them did not have any age rating information; also TV channels often used the “16+” mark, although broadcasting elements with it in the interval from 7 AM to 21 PM is a violation of the law; while broadcasting programs rated as “18+” was without any violations. The obtained results allow us to draw a conclusion that this law needs to be improved and the professional training should be held for its competent use in the broadcasting.

The article deals with the specifics of the local TV channel functioning. The study touches upon the issue of the features of regional TV companies in comparison with national ones. The content spicifics of the “Privat TV Dnipro” TV channel is highlighted and the historical stages of its development are outlined. The current problems and advantages of local TV channels on the Ukrainian media market are described. The ways of improving the work and organization process of “Privat TV Dnipro” TV company are determined. In the process of research, the method of analysis and deduction to study the structure of broadcasting of a regional TV channel and to identify the peculiarities of functioning of a particular object were used. The comparison method was also used to equate the results of the analysis activities of the national and local TV channels and the structural method to organize the received information. The research focuses on such information component as news. It is the main product of “Privat TV Dnipro”and has become an integral part of the content. The tendency of the media development industry in Ukraine leads to the situation when the news segment of broadcasting has turned into an invariably interesting and relevant one, being requested by the audience. News is the mainstay of television broadcasting today, and information and entertainment programs are «the business card» and «the face» of the channel. The article deals with the formation of the information for «Channel 9 News», its editorial processing and its broadcasting. For a regional channel the image of the company, which has developed over many years of work on the air, and the ways and opportunities for its improvement are extremely important. Therefore, the article outlines the basic principles of the image creation and media tasks of the channel. The following conclusions about the specifics of the operation of “Privat TV Dnipro” are drawn. Firstly, the structure of the channel and the methods of organization of labor correspond to the peculiarities of regional broadcasting. Secondly, despite the fact that quality requirements of local television, in comparison with the national one were slightly reduced, Privat TV Dnipro adheres to high standards and quality of the broadcasting information. Thirdly, information from the local TV channels is closer to the viewer, providing a better reach for the target audience. The work is of practical importance for researchers of local and national TV media. The article can be also used by the students to write scientific works.

With the rapid increase of numbers of private TV channels from the first opened day to today, the television world has entered a competitive environment. In order to reach certain target masses, the channels divide the audience into various groups and set different strategies for different audience groups. They create a certain corporate identity to be perceived, remembered and a different position in the minds of viewers. In the highly competitive media environment, each channel tries to be the first preferred channel by highlighting its distinguishing features. In this context, having an identity that can be perceived by audience, plays an important role in giving a perceptual position. One of the most important elements forming the corporate identity is the color. The color is an indispensable part of corporate identity because of its catchy feature that leaves a strong impression on audience. In this study, the corporate identities of television channels are examined in the context of "color". In order to do more comprehensive research, two of the most watched channels, Kanal D and ATV, have been selected. The dominant colors in the corporate identities of the channels have been identified and the ways in which the institutions transmit these colors to the audiences and how successful they are in this regard have been examined.

En los últimos años, la parrilla televisiva ha multiplicado el número de canales que el espectador puede elegir desde su mando a distancia. La consecuente fragmentación de audiencias ha hecho que las cadenas luchen por ofrecer al público un contenido más interesante y que sean ellas las elegidas por la mayoría de los televidentes. Este problema causa la aparición de nuevos formatos de programación y por consiguiente, nuevas formas de comunicar. Uno de los métodos que las cadenas de televisión utilizan para llamar la atención del público es mediante el grafismo televisivo, el cual buscará transmitir una imagen adecuada de la cadena y de los programas de acuerdo con el público al que van dirigidos. Esto ocurre en todo tipo de programas y en concreto, nos interesa conocer qué métodos y qué discurso comunican las cabeceras de los programas de tertulia y actualidad, también convertidos en un formato de éxito durante prácticamente la última década., In the last few years, the television grill has multiplied the number of channels the viewer can choose from the TV remote. The resulting fragmentation of audiences has done the TV channels to compete in order to provide their publics a more interesting content with the aim to be selected by the most viewers. This problem causes the creation of new programming formats and therefore new ways of communication. One of the methods that broadcasters use to call public attention are television graphics, which look for send an accurate picture of the TV channel and the programs according to the audience they are target to. This happens in all types of programs and in particular, we are interested to know what methods and what speech communicates the openings of political talk shows, also converted into a successful format for most of the last decade.

Relatório de estágio de mestrado em Ciências da Comunicação (área de especialização em Informação e Jornalismo), A presente investigação tem como objetivo compreender a realidade da produção de conteúdos e agendamento de um canal regional. Este documento apresenta um estudo detalhado e fundamentado sobre a produção noticiosa regional e de proximidade que é exercida no Porto Canal. Para além de relatar e mostrar as experiências vividas e sentidas durante três meses num canal de televisão, este relatório de estágio curricular apresenta também uma análise feita a diferentes programas de informação para perceber, quantitativamente, qual a verdadeira política de agendamento de conteúdos noticiosos de um canal regional. Assim sendo, recorremos a uma combinação de metodologias diferentes para compreender o caso. Primeiro, abordamos uma base documental e bibliográfica baseada em artigos científicos de autores que estudaram diferentes perspetivas do jornalismo regional. De seguida, optamos por uma análise quantitativa através do estudo de agendas de um canal regional - Porto Canal. Aqui foram utilizados conteúdos de uma semana escolhida ao acaso de cada mês de estágio curricular (novembro, dezembro e janeiro), tendo em consideração, apenas e só, os dias úteis semanais (segunda a sexta). Por último, procedemos à realização de entrevistas com o intuito de conhecer os vários pontos de vista de agendamento (a opinião da chefe de redação que é um elemento fundamental do canal por decidir o conteúdo da agenda do dia seguinte, o parecer de uma jornalista de informação que tem todo um trabalho de investigação, elaboração de notícias, edição de vídeo e publicação, e a apreciação de uma jornalista e editora online que nos mostrará o lado do jornalismo online regional no Porto Canal). Na realização desta investigação, decidimos procurar dar resposta à seguinte pergunta: “Se o Porto Canal é um órgão de comunicação autodenominado como regional (zona - norte), então até que ponto dá preferência a temas desta região em relação às informações generalistas nacionais?”. Ou seja, vamos tentar perceber a relação de importância dada aos assuntos noticiosos do Porto e arredores em comparação com os temas de cariz nacional., The main goal of the present investigation is to understand the reality of the alignment content production and agenda on a regional television channel. This document presents a detailed and fundament study of the regional and proximity news production that Porto Canal executes. Apart from exposing lived experiences during three months on a television channel, this report also demonstrates an analysis of different information programs to understand, quantitatively, the reality of the production and alignment of the news content of a regional channel. Therefore, a combination of different methods to understand the case was used. First, using a documental and bibliographic base, grounded in scientific papers from authors with different perspectives of regional journalism. Secondly choosing quantitative analysis based on the study of the agenda and the alignment of this regional channel – Porto Canal. Using the contents of a week, randomly selected in each month of the training (November, December and January) and only considering the working days (Monday to Friday). At the end, interviews were done with the aim of knowing the different points of view of the agenda (the opinion of the redaction chief, who is a fundamental member of the channel as he decides the contents of the agenda of the following day during the production process; a journalist opinion, who does all the investigation process, news writing, image edition and publications; and the judgment of a journalist and online editor that shows the side of regional web journalism at Porto Canal. When doing this investigation, looking for the answer to the following question was the aim: “If the Porto Canal is a communication organ self-styled as regional (north region), until when does it prefers themes from this region over national generalist information?”. We are going to understand the importance of the news from Porto and surroundings when comparing with national nature issues.

El cometido principal de este trabajo ha sido rediseñar la imagen corporativa de un canal de televisión, en concreto Antena3. Se ha empezado estudiando el concepto de identidad corporativa, donde se engloban las cuestiones como, qué es una identidad corporativa, qué es y qué principios debe seguir la sintaxis de una imagen, cuál debe ser su diseño audiovisual dependiendo del contexto y, por último, como ejemplo, se ha estudiado la evolución del diseño de una identidad corporativa, en concreto NBC.

IPTV service is a new service which is today offered from almost every Telecom operator. One of the advantages of IPTV service stemming from its architecture is certainly the fact that it is very easy to measure what TV channels are the ones mostly watched. This papers desribes this measurement and analysis results in one Telecom operator in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They describe what TV channels are mostly watched in different time periods. We developed a simple weighting algorithm to order the channels by watching rate. Based on it we are providing extensive tables. This paper forms an industrial contribution with results important for marketing but also is scientific contribution because it introduces one new method of scoring TV channels based on previous measurements in their audience. We also developed IPTV Statistics model and described results from this research for a new statistics model. This paper is the continuous of previously published contributions from this area.

This chapter analyses the impact of digitalization on TV marketing strategies focusing on the role of brand as a loyalty-based resource, available to digital television networks to create a sustainable competitive advantage. We analyze the cognitive process adopted by a viewer in the selection process of a TV channel and provide managerial implications for branding strategy and the tools that a television network and an iTV portal need to adopt to communicate values connected with their brand. The goal of this analysis is to offer insights on how a digital television network may create a channel experience leveraging on brand to increase viewers’ loyalty and competitive advantage.

Already a popular application in the Internet, IPTV is becoming, among the service providers, a preferred alternative to conventional broadcasting technologies. Since many of the existing deployments have been done within the safe harbor of telco-owned networks, IP multicast has been the desired streaming solution. However, previous studies showed that the popularity of the TV channels follows the Pareto principle, with the bulk of TV channels being watched only by a small fraction of viewers. Recognizing the potential scalability issues, we believe that multicast streaming approach may not be desirable for unpopular TV channels, especially when there are many such channels in the provider's service package. For this reason, the peer-to-peer content distribution paradigm is seen as an alternative, in particular for non-popular content. In order to analyse its viability, in this paper we perform a comparative analysis between IP multicast and a peer-to-peer overlay using unicast connections as streaming approaches, in the context of channels with different degrees of popularity. The analysis targets the bandwidth utilization, video quality and scalability issues, and our findings show that while multicast is always more efficient, peer-to-peer has a comparable performance for unpopular channels with a low number of viewers.

Wireless networks have become an important part of our daily lives. However, while the networking research community has made great progress in developing the communication technologies themselves, the underlying dynamics of deployment and use of wireless technologies is still relatively poorly understood. This is especially true for user-deployed technologies such as Wi-Fi hotspots, as well as the large-scale use of radio spectrum. This situation is already starting to cause difficulties in the wireless networking research community due to the arising lack of network deployment models for performance evaluation of new wireless technologies. Also the governmental regulators planning for new policy frameworks are lacking models and hard data on how existing networks and devices use the radio spectrum made available to them by the current regulatory regime. These issues are very topical globally, and are being actively pursued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the USA, as well as its European and Asian counterparts. In this paper we discuss our work on applying spatial statistics techniques for constructing models for structure of wireless networks and the way they use the radio spectrum. We focus specifically on key research challenges that would be of particular interest to the wireless communications community.
