European radios and TVs collaborate to broadcast common programmes
Local, regional and national radio and TV stations from all over Europe now collaborate to co-produce and exchange programmes on questions relating to Europe.
The European radio network called "EURANET" has already.been launched. Broadcast daily, the programmes are devoted to current affairs and society in the Europe of 27. They include daily news reports, interviews, debates, magazines looking at subjects in greater depth and coverage of live events. This new project foresees a contribution from the European Commission of € 5,8 million/year over five years.
The television network, to which no name has yet been put, has already been backed by some 80 TV channels. Its main goal is to produce real European programmes and provide televiewers with the opportunity to see how information is presented and covered in other countries. The EU Commission has committed € 8 million in the project. The first broadcasts will go out mid-2010.
