Commercial television channel TV2 projects a revenue fall of 17pc or HUF 4bn for 2009, the business daily Napi Gazdasag reported on Monday, quoting commercial manager Krisztian Kovacs.
Mr Kovacs said the company’s turnover moved in line with the trend on the advertising market.
Based on the revenue decline forecast of its rival RTL Klub, TV2 expects to gain some ground among advertisers, he said.
TV2 is majority owned by ProSiebenSat.1 Media of Germany through its subsidiary SBS Broadcasting group, a network of services in Scandinavia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Romania, and the United Kingdom. ProSiebenSat.1 Media, in turn, is owned by private equity firms Permira and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
Note that we will be experimenting with some modifications to the commenting system over the coming days, with the aim of allowing users to post without a CAPTCHA system and other manual anti-spam gizmos. We will therefore be monitoring comments more closely, and if you have any related issues or observations, you can just leave them in a comment on any article.
