Over a million viewers could lose TV 2 – VG

1.3 million viewers could lose TV 2 channels if allmennkringkasteren and Get not agree on a new distribution contract in the new year.

the Parties have so far failed to agree on how much Get to pay for the distribute TV group’s channels, a writing Campaign. 500.000 Norwegian households – about 1.3 million viewers – are thus in danger of losing access to TV channels.

– It is generally challenging to negotiate new innholdsavtaler. Norwegian TV-customers want to be able to choose what they want to see, and it is important for us to get agreements that provide the opportunity for it. At the same time, we must ensure that the price to our customers remained at a reasonable level, ” says vice president for communications and public affairs in Get, Øyvind Society, VG.

“We want to continue the negotiations until we find a solution so that viewers will be harmed,” says the Society.

– What kind of options is on the table?

I do not want to comment now.

TV 2 also don’t want to comment on the case in detail.

the Deadline has not yet gone out, and the negotiation is still ongoing. We always aim to agree. I don’t want to comment on the details of the negotiations or say anything about status, ” says communications manager Jan-Petter Dahl in the TV 2 to the VG.

In February this year, it was a breach in the negotiations between Canal Digital and Discovery Networks. It led to that the 2.5 million viewers lost access to the TVNorge channels. The parties came to an agreement after two weeks with the black TV screens.
