INSIGHT of the day: why better compression is still needed in DTT ? ARCOM, the French regular, has received 24 requests to get on French TNT, for 10 available slots, which clearly shows there is a supply/demand problem. Out of the 10 channels to be allocated for the next 5 years, 2 have lost their license, one for infringing the rules (C8), the other one for having a too low audience (NRJ12). Not going into the lobby power used to get a channel added or removed, nor the political vendetta form regulator, neither the financial viability of a low audience channel, I wanted to look at the problem from a pure technology point of view. Today on French DTT, first there is only HD signal, so SD so no wasted bandwidth with simulcast and good visual experience. Still HD is in AVC format, a codec that has been standardised for 17 years, time for a change? Let us look at other technical options being or planning to be deployed on DTT networks around the world: - If we look at what Germany has done on DTT, HD (1080p) is encoded using HEVC, and here we can expect a 30% bandwidth reduction vs legacy HD AVC. - If we look at what Italy is contemplating, they would like to use LCEVC to upgrade their now released HD HEVC to UHD, but we could also use LCEVC to take an SD source and transmit HD using LCEVC, in that case the saving vs a HD AVC will be larger than 50% vs legacy HD AVC. - If we look at what Brazil is using, VVC+LCEVC, then an HD in VVC+ LCEVC will be even more efficient, and we can expect saving more than 60% vs legacy HD AVC Let us look at the situation from a device perspective: - From a device compatibility point of view HEVC is a clear winner as 70% of the installed base in France is UHD HEVC capable. - LCEVC has been proven to be deployable on UHD HEVC sets, but here, only if a regulation mandates it, TV manufacturers will support an upgrade, it might only apply to new TV sets sold after the mandate is imposed. - VVC is still a nascent codec, that will be first deployed in Brazil in 2025, so it will take time to be widely deployed, we are looking at 5-10 years’ time window. I hope I was able to convince you that we live a bit behind in terms of technology choices, not surprising as for broadcast, we need to face device long replacement cycles. I have not addressed the streaming situation where different codecs such as AV1 are at stake, but here also we see some limitations such as TV support or poor Mobile penetration.

This is the end for C8 on TNT (& NRJ12) 📺 The French television channel C8, known for its flagship program "Touche pas à mon poste!" hosted by Cyril Hanouna, has lost its digital terrestrial television (TNT) frequency. 📺 This decision, made by the French media regulatory authority Arcom, comes amid concerns over repeated controversies and significant sanctions levied against the channel. 📺 Repeated Issues: C8 has faced multiple controversies, particularly involving its star host Cyril Hanouna. These incidents have led to sanctions amounting to 7.6 million euros over the past eight years. 📺 Regulatory Compliance: Arcom evaluated channels based on their compliance with regulatory obligations, public interest, economic viability, and contributions to media pluralism and French cultural creation. 📺 New Entrants: The frequencies relinquished by C8 and NRJ 12 have been awarded to new entrants, including channels from Ouest France and billionaire Daniel Kretinsky. 📺 This decision is part of a broader reallocation of TNT frequencies, aimed at ensuring the media landscape remains diverse and adheres to regulatory standards. 📺 The audiovisual landscape will be frozen for five years From "Les Echos" From "Ouest France" From "LeMonde"

Whether you are giving the praise and thanks, or receiving it with open hands, it really is a perfect circle of recognition. Please join us tomorrow 07h00-10h00 as we celebrate!

📢 Rekindle the Fire in Radio: Empowering Air Personalities for Success 🔥 In the ever-evolving media landscape, radio continues to stand the test of time. But what keeps this timeless medium vibrant? It's the heart of radio, the air personalities, who bridge the gap between the station and its audience. Part two of our series explores how they can ignite their on-air presence and keep radio's flame alive. 🎙️ The 5 P's: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance "Before stepping into the studio, put your thinking cap on and delve into what's happening in your city. Be a local expert and find ways to connect your content to the community." Mastering the art of editing and word economy is crucial. 💥 Front Stack for Maximum Impact Front-stacking is a game-changer. The first few seconds should be attention-grabbing, saving detailed information for later in the break or directing your audience to your station's website. 💰 Cash Giveaways with Impact When giving away cash, choose your words carefully. Make it pop: "ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS." It's a subtle yet effective way to make your giveaways sound bigger. 📆 The Power of Teasing and Appointment Setting Teasing and appointment setting ensure listeners keep coming back for more. Continually bringing your audience back builds Time Spent Listening (TSL). In conclusion, air personalities are the unsung heroes of radio, connecting the station to its audience. By mastering preparation, concise communication, front-stacking, and teasing, we can rekindle the fire in radio. It's time we empower and support on-air talent who bring the magic of radio to life and ensure that it remains a vibrant and vital medium in the digital age. 📞 Reach out to Mike McCoy, a radio consultant based in Phoenix, to continue the conversation about enhancing your radio broadcasting.

Paralegal Fighting for Equality, Accountability & Justice Working Towards Making This World a Better Place
How I am paying tribute to the memory and legacy of Stephen Lawrence today 1. Never Forget - Stephen was a kind, handsome, intelligent ambitious young man; loved and cherished by his family and friends. Stephen was 18 & murdered 31 years ago today in an evil, malicious, unprovoked, racist attack. Decades of failures, corruption, incompetence and institutionalised racism has seen two out of the six accused convicted. If this is still the outcome today in 2024, it certainly goes without saying huge transformations for the betterment of society are still to be made. -We need to combat and eradicate racism. -We require assurance in the priorities of holding police accountable for their actions or lack there of. -The police & CPS need to do everything they can possibly do as a collective, to bring as much justice and closure as possible for Stephen, his family and friends and all of us as a society. ⚖️ Injustice Anywhere Is A Threat To Justice Everywhere⚖️ 2. Take Direct Action - What happened to Stephen, his family and friends has directly influenced me as a person, my outlook and interests and the work I have done and aim to do in the future. I decided to go university to study Sociology and Criminology due to what happened to Stephen. With a somewhat simplistic and naive yet pure and innocent intention, of ''getting the bad police out of the police force''. More recently, I have changed my career path into Law to work towards my goals, to eventually achieve such changes. 3. Contemplation - Today I think about the times that I've worried and cried over the years, thinking about what happened to Stephen and others, and wondering whether someone or a group of people, would do the same to my brother or my dad. Randomly thinking about times that I've only ever been pulled over by the police when driving with my friends, who happen to have brown or black skin. Remembering as a child, my dad telling a police officer "this is the tenth time your lots pulled me on this road this month!... I live here." - Only when the officer saw me (a very light skinned child sitting in the passenger seat looking confused) did his tone and attitude change towards my dad. To hearing my dad's experiences of recent times of" No blacks, No Irish, No dogs" (my dad being a brown/black Nigerian & white Irish man with a thick Dublin accent), and growing up in Ireland as a Catholic brown child during the 1960s. To recalling the utter heartbreak of my dad breaking down in tears one night due to the trauma of years and years and decades and decades of "it". Of Racism. -Its tiring, it's exhausting and every single one of us owes it to human kind to change this. 4. Celebrate our uniqueness and who we are with love and appreciation - -Shout it from the rooftops! -Celebrate our cultures, who we are, where we originate. Today I celebrate my Nigerian heritage, being a princess Anyanwu by blood, of Owerri Imo State and my Great Grandfather the Ebo Chief.
