This article highlights and discusses the main findings from three different media production studies (2016, 2019, and 2022) investigating the changing production culture of the schedulers in public service media. The inclusion of a broadcaster video-on-demand (BVoD) service in the broadcaster's portfolio affected the production culture. First, the...
This article addresses the development of new scheduling practices within public service media (PSM) in the Nordic, focusing on DR and TV 2 in Denmark. These practices relate to in-house broadcaster-video-on-demand-services (BVoDs). Our findings show, first, that television’s time-structured identity and liveness are re-configured for a mainstream...
In recent years, media production studies have grown into a thriving field of research, which has given rise to a discussion of the theoretical and methodological approaches it employs (Paterson et al, 2016; Frandsen, 2007; Bruun, 2010, 2016b). This article is a contribution to this development. The focal point is a discussion of how time and timin...
This article presents findings from a study of how the public service television (PSTV) companies DR and TV 2 in Denmark are changing their scheduling practices to address the competition from transnational streaming services. We focus on a comparative analysis of how television documentaries are scheduled and argue that the documentary genre is pa...
Focusing on Danish comedian Jonatan Spang’s spoof of the Nordic drama The Bridge via his news parody series Close to the Truth, this article examines how satire simultaneously embodies and performs geopolitics. Through a close reading of Spang’s send-up of contemporary Swedish culture as “pc-totalitarianism”, we interrogate the comedian’s satirical...
Based on findings from a production study, this article explores and discusses the impact of streaming on television scheduling. Especially within public service television companies, scheduling for traditional linear television is currently transforming into what this article terms trans-programming. This development makes the work of the schedule...
This article compares the “continuity” produced by private- and public service television companies and discusses whether it can survive in the digital era. In broadcast television, “continuity” carries the industry’s dominating business model: the commercial break. The present disruption to this model, caused by digital technology, over-the-top co...
This article presents results from a production study on how the on-air schedule is changing in the digital era at the Danish public service broadcaster, TV 2. TV 2’s multichannel and increasingly non-linear television portfolio has a profound impact on the production practices involved in order to meet the public service obligations. The analysis...

This article presents and discusses the communicative behaviour in the continuity texts produced by public service television providers in Denmark in the digital era. Based on a case study of the two main channels, DR and TV 2, the article argues that, after previous trends towards convergence in the way the two providers communicate, the present d...
In media production studies the qualitative research interview is frequently used as a tool in the generation of data, and thus in building the analytical object. However, the research contributions—including my own work—contain only to a very limited degree methodological reflections on what characterizes this kind of research interview and its ap...
This article presents an analysis of the attempt to revitalize the genreviewer relationship in the political debate talk show in multi-platform public service television in Denmark. Based on the generic development since the 1990s, and main findings from a comprehensive case study of the interaction between the live broadcast and the Facebook profi...
This article presents and discusses the changing conceptualizations of the audience at work in the production culture of political talk shows in PSM (public service media) in Denmark. Based on findings from a case study of the Danish political talk show Debatten [The Debate], this article suggests that an audience-as-social-segments model seems to...
This article argues for a genre approach in the analysis of changing production cultures. It supports the fruitfulness of this approach using results from a study of satirical sketch comedy production in Danish public service television. The article outlines the paradigmatic changes
to the production practices of satire in the period from 1999 to 2...
This article highlights political satire as part of a long tradition of satirical sketch comedy in Danish public service television. Since the late 1990s, however, there have been major changes to this entertainment tradition. Taking these developments as a point of departure, this article argues that political satire has been trying to reinvent it...
How do we explain changes in media genres? Are they the result of economic, technological or other kinds of structural forces; or are they the result of the change-producing agency of the media producers? And how are changes in media texts connected to contextual conditions for media production on micro-, meso- or macro levels? This article suggest...
The goal of this article is to introduce and discuss a theoretical approach to an ongoing text production analysis of satirical sketch comedy on Danish public service television. The aim is to shed some light on the change in what I term the professional ideology of this specific field of production, and to understand the driving forces in its deve...
Hanne Bruun: A global TV-genre and the complexity of proximity Television is often considered an agent of cultural globalization, and the American television industry is often equated with globalization in part due to the ability of its genre’s to travel. Media reception studies show the viewers’ expectations of a genre are influenced by these tele...
Dansk tv havde premiere i 1951, og gennem et halvt århundrede var mediet et samlingspunkt for hele nationen. Tv blev danskernes foretrukne teater- og biografsal, politiske diskussioner i forsamlingshuset blev til tv-interviews styret af journalister, og fars og mors autoritet fik modspil fra først Ingrid og Lillebror og siden Poul og Nulle. Monopol...
I artiklen sætter forfatterne fokus på forholdet mellem personer, der ser
på personer i tv. Udgangspunktet er receptionsanalysen og den motiva-
tion for tv-sening, der er forbundet med, at tv-seere relaterer sig til og
identificerer sig med personer, der optræder på tv (tv-værter, medvir-
kende osv.). Med afsæt i en funktionsorienteret definition...

Mother and daughter tell the studio host about the conflict, and the studio host and the studio audience ask questions and make com-ments. Finally, the apple of discord – the boyfriend – is let into the studio. There now fo...

Radio er et vanskeligt medie både som undervisnings- og analyseobjekt.
Det skyldes dets flygtige karakter: Et lydlligt forløb i tid, hvor man ikke kan
"bladre" som i en avis eller bog. Og heller ikke anvende billedets rum- og
tidsangivelser, som ved analyser af film og TV. Billedet støtter hukommel-
sen og gør visse dele af analysen mere entydig.
