"Google Video now offers previously paid content, including individual TV series, for free - but initially only as a test project. The "Free Today" service is financed via banner ads and advertising at the end of the stream. It offers films that could only be downloaded by customers in the USA and cost between 0.99 and 4.95 US dollars. The name "Free Today" certainly seems to promise a varied program.Google is testing whether ad-financed access to videos could pay off for the provider as part of this pilot project. However, according to Google, fewer than ten advertising partners and only a few content providers are involved in the project so far.
In general, the internet giant has recently been thinking more and more about innovative advertising opportunities. For example, Google introduced video advertising at the end of May, entering the battle against television for the largest share of the advertising budget.

Germany's news agency DPA was able to increase its turnover last year for the first time in five years. Turnover rose slightly by 0.7 percent to 94.7 million euros, said the Chairman of the Management Board, Malte von Trotha, as reported by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Profit increased by 1.6 million to 2.1 million euros. These results are due not least to savings and special effects. Following price reductions, DPA was able to acquire new customers even in a difficult market environment - a significant increase in turnover was achieved, particularly with private broadcasters. Revenues from companies and political organizations also increased again after two difficult years. However, the number of jobs fell by 32 to 783 - DPA has thus cut 134 jobs in the last five years.

 From next Monday (19.6.06), the daily shortlist report from Cannes will be available here.captionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionCaptionEvery Thursday morning at 8 a.m., the wakeboard and water ski event of the Munich film production company Helliventures, which (easy to guess) specializes primarily in sports films and commercials, starts in Cannes on Majestic Beach. Owner Joachim Hellinger is no stranger to us either, as he is married to a Swiss woman, spends his winters in Klosters and also counts several CH agencies among his clients.Werbewoche was the first non-Helliventure representative on the jetty, but the early-bird cuckoo clock cannot be won by journalists. Too bad, because "Bringing the Kookoo back home" would have been a nice headline. However, since shortlist author Fritsch didn't get up that early, but didn't go to bed at all that night, that's fine. In other sports, such behavior would be considered a punishable early start, if not doping (residual alcohol). All the more reason to be pleased about the Hang-over prize with the Swiss cross. The box contained a head bag, rarely found today, which can be filled with hot or cold water or ice, depending on the condition, and placed on the buzzing skull. Well done, dear Helliventure team.text & photos: Beat Fritsch

The prestigious client Mercedes-Benz changes advertising agency. Jung von Matt (JvM) has been appointed as the new lead agency. Springer & Jacobi is thus losing its most important client. Rumors of a possible change have been circulating in the industry for some time, as the trade journal "Werben & Verkaufen" wrote on its website on Friday. JvM's mandate includes strategy development and consulting as well as the development of integrated and international communication concepts. Agency founders Jean-Remy von Matt and Holger Jung bear the main responsibility for the mandate.

WEMF AG für Werbemedienforschung and the market research company Media Focus have signed a cooperation agreement. This puts an end to the confusing coexistence of two advertising statistics in Switzerland, which previously competed under the brands AIS Advertising Index Switzerland and Media Focus, as the two companies announced in a press release on Friday. They will be replaced by a joint advertising index and a media index.
The two new statistics will be geared towards the needs of the two main markets - advertisers and media companies. In contrast to the previous statistics, the new media index will be based on actual sales, which will also allow statements to be made about the market shares of the individual media types.

The controversial participation of the Berner Zeitung in 20 Minuten will not be completed for the time being, according to a decision by the Federal Supreme Court. Following an appeal by the Competition Commission (ComCo), the Federal Supreme Court has granted suspensive effect with the agreement of all parties. As is well known, this decision is the result of a lengthy debate: the Competition Commission had prohibited the Berner Zeitung from acquiring a stake in 20 Minuten in January 2004 - on the grounds that the Espace Media Groupe, to which the Berner Zeitung also belongs, would gain a dominant market position in the Bern area.
Espace Media Groupe then lodged an appeal with the Competition Appeals Commission, which overturned the ban at the beginning of May this year. The Competition Commission then appealed to the Federal Supreme Court, which has now granted the appeal suspensive effect.
According to the ruling of the Lausanne judges, the corresponding request by the Competition Commission could be granted without weighing up the interests involved - because the opposing party had no objections.

PubliGroupe is acquiring all the shares in Radiotele AG, thereby realizing its announced entry into the marketing of radio advertising, as PubliGroupe announced today in a media release. The purchase price is not being disclosed. "We are delighted that the talks with Radiotele have come to a successful conclusion. This acquisition puts us in a position to offer leading media from all electronic media genres on the Swiss market", says Hans-Peter Rohner, CEO of PubliGroupe. PubliGroupe is now active in the areas of TV, radio, cinema, online, teletext and mobile. The increasing market demand for cross-media networking of the media is being met by close cooperation between the PubliGroupe companies Cinecom and Web2com: "In this way, we are creating added value for our media partners and advertising customers," says Rohner.
Radiotele will continue to operate as an independent unit within PubliGroupe under the management of its founder and previous Managing Director, Bruno Oetterli. "I am happy about this solution and look forward to working with my new colleagues," says Oetterli.
Radiotele AG was founded in 1976 and, as a pioneering company in the marketing of radio advertising, has played a key role in the development of the commercialization of this type of media in Switzerland. In the 2005 financial year, however, Radiotele AG suffered a decline in sales and profits. Compared to the previous year, net sales fell by 2.3 percent to 41 million Swiss francs, Rohner told sda.
"The acquisition by PubliGoupe represents a significant entrepreneurial boost for Radiotele
", says Oetterli. Rohner assures sda that there are no plans to cut jobs.

The Federal Palace Media Center was officially opened today in the presence of President Moritz Leuenberger, Rolf Büttiker, President of the Council of States, and around 200 guests. The 100-year-old "journalists' room" in the parliament building was thus abolished and the spatial separation of media professionals on the one hand and the Federal Assembly and parliamentary services on the other was finally completed.
The renovation of the buildings at Bundesgasse 8-12 cost CHF 42.5 million - excluding SRG investments - and took around two and a half years. The media trade union Comedia was also present, whose representatives distributed hand-held fans to the journalists at the Bundeshaus - to at least symbolically ease their difficult working conditions, as Comedia writes in a press release.

Swiss advertising sales in May 2006 - including online advertising - amounted to 368 million Swiss francs, an increase of 8.4 percent compared to the same month last year. The Advertising Index Switzerland (AIS), which is available free of charge on the WEMF website, shows that advertising expenditure was significantly higher than in the previous year, particularly in the services (up 26.4 percent), beverages (up 20.8 percent) and transport (up 18.3 percent) sectors. The telecommunications, clothing, tourism and retail sectors also invested more. The tobacco industry in particular cut back on investments (down 52.1%).

After Swisscom, the second-largest telecommunications group Sunrise is now also flirting with television via the Internet (IPTV). Sunrise has started a corresponding test with an offer of 20 channels. However, the test is limited: A maximum of 200 participants could log on to the website at the same time to watch television on their computers. Whether Sunrise will also offer a set-top box that allows reception on the television set in the living room has not yet been determined, said Sunrise spokesman Mathieu Janin on Thursday in response to a corresponding report on the website of French-speaking Swiss television. It has also not yet been decided whether IPTV will be offered on the broad market at all and, if so, when.
Swisscom has been working on the launch of Internet TV for some time and has already had to postpone it several times due to technical problems. Now Swisscom's IPTV is definitely to be launched in 2006.
