Every year, LUKB thanks its wealthy customers with an exclusive gift that is themed around the respective UN year. The UN has declared 2010 the International Year of Biodiversity. Luzerner Kantonalbank wants to emphasize the importance of preserving and promoting biodiversity with this calendar, the agency writes in a press release. In order to create a regional reference, Allink.creative has dedicated itself entirely to the diverse flora of Lucerne and presents it in a unique light. The selected plants were treated with a contrast agent and then x-rayed. This makes the inner life of the plants visible. Twelve subjects were then created using digital image processing. The color and shape of the subjects were matched to the respective months.
The calendar was produced in a limited edition of 2600 copies.

According to a statement on Wednesday, particular highlights on SF 1 were "SwissAward - die Millionen-Gala" (799,000 viewers, 43.3 percent), the documentary "Fortsetzung folgt - Stress im Paradies" (802,000 viewers, 33.7 percent) and the Swiss film "Der Polizistinnenmörder" (661,000 viewers, 29.9 percent). The four January episodes of "SF bi de Lüt - Familiensache" attracted an average of 639,000 viewers, corresponding to a market share of 37.1 percent. On SF zwei, the live broadcasts of the men's downhill race in Wengen (912,000 viewers, 73.6 percent) and in Kitzbühel (766,000 viewers, 73 percent) were the main contributors to the 16.8 percent daily market share. The final of the Australian Open also attracted a lot of attention on SF zwei with an average audience of 442,000 viewers (46.8 percent market share). The sixth season of "Desperate Housewives" was well received by the younger audience: An average of 181,000 15 to 49-year-olds (23.5 percent market share) watched the first four episodes of the Monday evening series.
Sf.tv with highest monthly figure to date
With 329,500 visits per day, Sf.tv achieved its highest monthly figure to date in January 2010, according to the press release. The number of visits increased by around 40 percent compared to the same month last year. In January 2010, an average of 24,300 podcasts were downloaded per day. Internet users also watched 176,000 SF videos per day. YouTube recorded 14,300 SF video views per day.
The TV measurement panel underwent various changes on January 1, 2010. Since January 2010, all TV audience figures and market shares recorded using Telecontrol are therefore no longer directly comparable with the previous year's data. For this reason, the previous year's figures are not shown in this compilation.

Is there even a user need for e-readers? And are readers prepared to pay for digital media offerings, which are still largely free on the Internet? Mediaforum wanted to find out more and has set up a new industry barometer survey on this current topic, in which a total of 443 people took part.
The majority of respondents (48 %) believe that newspapers and magazines belong on paper and not on e-readers. Five percent would use e-readers in the future - but only if they did not have to pay for the content. The results at a glance:

In the commercial, Swiss Hollywood star and Seat ambassador Anatole Taubmann suddenly has three wishes - which initially makes him a little insecure. Star TV takes a look behind the scenes and shows exclusive images from the shoot. In the "Striking" section, another highlight from this year's Cannes reel is presented and, as usual, the TV spots from the current week are also broadcast.

The bottom line profit amounted to 144.5 million euros, the TV company announced in Munich on Wednesday. The result was therefore better than analysts had expected. In 2008, the company had suffered a loss of around 129 million euros due to write-downs on its competitor SBS, which was acquired in 2007.
Last year, turnover fell by almost ten percent to 2.76 billion euros. In the fourth quarter, however, the company was able to increase its revenue slightly, thus halting the recent negative trend. Following the surprising announcement of the key figures, the share price increased. Debt fell by 112 million to 3.3 billion euros at the end of the year.

As US media report according to the press release, the logo has been redesigned and now only shows the capital "M" and "TV". It will now also feature photos of MTV starlets from the reality TV shows as required. "We thought about it in a way that brings the brand and our talent together in the same place," said Tina Exarhos, Executive Vice President of Marketing at MTV.
The move comes as little surprise, as MTV has long since moved away from its core program and is now focusing on various formats outside of music and music videos. If you look at the channel, you can see that it is definitely heading in a new direction, says Exarhos. "The change to the logo currently only affects the US market," said MTV Germany when asked by Pressetext. In the USA, however, further changes are already being considered. As Exarhos mentions, a general redesign is being planned for the end of the year. While other areas of the channel have been repeatedly redesigned over time, the logo has remained essentially unchanged to this day.
Criticism of new program
For some years now, MTV has had to put up with a lot of criticism for showing fewer and fewer music videos and more and more reality TV shows and the like. Music and music-related programs have mainly been outsourced to sister channels such as MTV2 or MTV Hits. The fact that "Music Television" has now also been removed from the logo seems to be the final commitment to the new direction. "Music is still the core of everything we do, but now it's about a lot more," says Exarhos. If MTV didn't change, the channel would be irrelevant by now, believe those responsible.

In the first stage of digitization, around 80 percent of the commercial listener potential is to be covered, according to a communiqué issued on Tuesday. Radio digitization enables broadcasters to diversify their content, i.e. to offer additional terrestrially broadcast programmes and services such as surround sound or iTunes tagging. HD radio is received via a special HD device. When HD radio is launched in Switzerland, "combi receivers" that can receive FM, DAB+ and HD radio will also be available.

According to SDA, the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) opened a hearing on Wednesday. Interested parties have until May 10 to comment. A set-top box is required to receive digital television. This device is rented out by the providers, which has been criticized since the early days of digital television. The digital signals are encrypted so that an alternative set-top box cannot simply be purchased, and there have been increasing calls for a ban on encryption. However, the regulation that the federal government is now proposing does not ban encryption. Rather, the providers themselves can decide how they want to guarantee the free choice of set-top box, as the Uvek writes in a report.
If providers do not forego encryption, they will now be obliged to offer their customers a basic package of at least 50 television channels that can also be consumed with freely available set-top boxes. This requires them to offer an access authorization system with plug-in cards that can be inserted into third-party receivers. The Uvek stipulates that the plug-in card system may not be more expensive than the subscription price for the basic offer with a separate set-top box.
Exemption for Swisscom
For the time being, the new obligation does not apply to telecommunications service providers such as Swisscom, which distribute their programs via the Internet Protocol (IPTV) (formerly Bluewin TV). Unlike cable network operators and Internet TV providers, they benefit from a two-year transitional arrangement. This is justified for technical reasons, writes the Uvek. The decoding of program offerings via IPTV is currently only possible with the provider's own set-top box. IPTV is a comparatively young technology, the Uvek points out.

On Thursday from 19:00, Star TV will be showing the pictures of this year's Egon Awards from the Lake Side in Zurich.
