As for the advertisers, they did not have to bebegged to invest in airtime, says Ronan deFressenel to Backstage. According to theDirector of Marketing and Studies for M6Publicité, the advertisers jumped aboard oncethey saw the results from the first week ofbroadcasting Un dîner presque parfait. As for100% Mag, they took three weeks to react.

“Since then, advertising time remains verymuch in demand from the moment the schedu-le opens up,” he adds. Even the format of thetwo programmes, along with their audienceratings, seems to charm advertisers at firstsight. Ronan de Fressenel specifies that theadvertisers do not belong to a particular cate-gory, even though there is an abundance offood advertisers on Un dîner presque parfait.

During the show, contestants must demonstra-te their generosity and creativity to impresstheir guests. Serving local cuisine, family reci-pes, exotic or vegetarian menus, each willattempt to impress the others with an array ofsucculent dishes – or at least they hope theywill. During the diner, the guests allow the vie-wers insights in their personal thoughts andlives. At the end of the meal, the guests give ascore. The winner gets EUR 1,000 to donate fora good case – and the title of Best Host.

During the first week of March, to properly cele-brate one year of Un dîner presque parfait, M6will invite the four top contestants of the pastyear to appear on a special show airing in primetime for the occasion. The anniversary showwill be presented by Stéphane Rotenberg, whois better known for hosting the adventure gamePékin Express. For this special show, special

rules: of the four contestants, three will have achance to cook in front of three star chefs(Cyril Lignac, Jean-François Piège and FrédéricRobert) and will have to submit to the verdict ofthe chefs’ demanding taste buds. Only one willwin the special prize of EUR 3,000.

On TV, radio and now on paper: Un dîner pres-que parfait is also a book. The programme hasbecome such a societal phenomenon that it isnot uncommon for friends to invite one anotherover and “play” Un dîner presque parfait, awar-ding points at the end of a meal. Riding thewave of this success, M6 Editions has joinedwith Hachette Pratique to publish a book of thesame name. Much more than a simple collec-tion of recipes, it addresses anyone who canreply in the affirmative to these two questions:

“Is dining with friends your favourite sport?”and “Is being an exceptional host your ‘raisond’être’?” The book picks up the show’s threethemes, namely, “ambiance”, “decoration” and“cuisine” and for each one, offers hints andessential advice for impressing and treatingyour guests.

European media business calls for fair playOn 24 February, representatives of theEuropean media business called on theEuropean Commission to resist pressure fromMember States to water down proposals thatseek to establish clear fundamental guidelineson state aid to publicly-funded broadcasters.Belgium - 24 February 2009

The 2001 Broadcasting Communication thatsets out the principles to be followed by theCommission in the application of Articles 87 and86(2) of the EC Treaty to State funding of publicsector broadcasting is currently being revised bythe Commission’s DG Competition and a propo-sal for a new text, that will focus on public sec-tor broadcasting in the context of new mediaand mobile platforms, is expected to be presen-ted shortly. The European Parliament’s CultureCommittee has scheduled a public hearing onthe issue for 5 March 2009.

A media coalition – including the Association ofCommercial Television in Europe (ACT), theAssociation of European Radios (AER), theEuropean Publishers’ Council (EPC) and theGerman Association of Commercial Televisionand Radios (VPRT) – broadly supports currentCommission proposals to update the rules inorder to clarify the remit of public broadcastingand, importantly, to introduce a new test thatwould be used to justify any new public sectorbroadcasting activity. But there is strong politicalpressure to leave the 2001 BroadcastingCommunication unchanged despite huge chan-ges in the media sector that have taken place inthe past eight years.

Ross Biggam, Director General ACT, commen-ted: “In the rapidly changing media market andin the light of the growing importance of the onli-ne world, the review of state aid rules to publicbroadcasters is more important than ever. Publicbroadcasters’ ventures into new markets may bepermissible, if and when corresponding to thedemocratic, cultural and societal needs of thepopulation, but may not be allowed to distort thecompetition existing in those markets.”

Given the increasing criticism from national cul-tural ministries on the text, the coalition of theEuropean media businesses urgesCommissioner Kroes and her colleagues toresist this growing pressure. In the EU 27, stateaid to broadcasting is estimated as being worthat least EUR 22 billion per year. In the currenteconomic environment, it is of ever greaterimportance to ensure that the European Unionrules on state aid are rigorously applied.

Tobias Schmid, Vice President of the GermanAssociation of Commercial Radio andTelecommunication Providers (VPRT) and VicePresident Media Policy at RTL TelevisionGermany, commented: “While we clearly seepoints which require improvement in the textespecially regarding transparency of costs, wewelcome the guidance given for Member Statesin particular with regard to ex ante scrutiny andthe independent regulation. Only those willensure that the interests of Europe’s consumerswill be best protected by thriving, competitivemarkets.”

Angela Mills Wade, Executive Director EPC,stressed: “Public broadcasters have not onlybeen migrating to digital TV platforms but also tothe Internet and, in many cases, morphing intoonline newspaper and magazine publishers –funded by the public purse – and competinghead on with commercial publishers.We are therefore calling for a clarification of stateaid rules in the new media environment and clearguidance for Member States when applyingthese rules.”

Systematic diversificationLate last year, Super RTL acquired the socialnetwork Mamily.de as part of a systematicexpansion of its online portfolio to young families.Germany - 23 February 2009

Super RTL has operated popular online portalsfor its core demographic of children aged 3 to6 (Toggolino.de) and 6 to 13 years (Toggo.de)for some time now. The acquisition of themothers’ network Mamily is another step in itsstrategy of systematically expanding its on-airbrands to the off-air realm. Mamily is a socialnetwork aimed specifically at mothers andmothers-to-be.

“We want to reach our prime time demographicof heads-of-household with children not onlyon-air, but off the air as well,” explains SuperRTL’s Managing Director, Claude Schmit. “Wesuccessfully put this strategy into practice

among our core target group, children, and willnow apply it to our prime time demographic aswell.”

The community, which was established in 2007and funded by Holtzbrinck Ventures amongothers, is being extensively promoted in thechannel’s evening programming. Although ini-tial surveys indicate that user numbers hadalready increased significantly in January, “it’sstill too early to draw conclusions about theperformance,” says Schmit. “We will monitordevelopments very closely and take our deci-sions accordingly.”

Wild teens in the Wild WestOn the evening of 25 February, a new round of Teenager außer Kontrolle got underwayon RTL Television with as many as 5.2 million viewers. Germany - 26 February 2009

Six difficult teenagers dealing with the RockyMountain wilderness: in season three of thefactual programme Teenager außer Kontrolle –Letzter Ausweg Wilder Westen (Teenagers OutOf Control – The Wild West as a Last Resort),which started yesterday at 20:15, therapistAnnegret Noble encounters her toughest casesto date. An average 4.37 million people wat-ched the season starter: 13.4 per cent of thetotal audience market and 21.3 per cent of vie-wers aged 14 to 49.

In a healing centre in the US state of Colorado,6000 kilometres away from Germany, AnnegretNoble and her team set out to help the sixteens become responsible people again. Theirjourney begins at the Monarch Center forFamily, Healing in sleepy Georgetown, where‘Gestalt therapy’ is the technique of choice.“Gestalt therapy is mainly about expressingfeelings that you have been carrying around, foryears in some cases, and then finding out that

you are able to cope with them,” explainssenior therapist Annegret Noble. “If feelings areexpressed in a viable relationship, they don’tdestroy anything. Instead of talking about fee-lings on an intellectual level, in Gestalt therapyyou let the heart speak. And usually the heart ismuch more honest than the head.” Variousexercises will bring the teenagers to the brink ofbodily and emotional breakdown, to help themgive their emotions free rein.

In Colorado, Annegret Noble hopes to help thesix youths find new direction in their lives.“Some of the teenagers and the parents fromthe first two seasons write to me every now andthen to let me know how they’re doing,” Nobleis happy to report. “All of the teens and theirfamilies have had to deal with some difficultsituations in the time since their treatment. Theskills, capabilities and insights they gained inAmerica help them to cope with their lives andavoid repeating their mistakes.”

The countdown has begunSeason 7 of Nouvelle Star kicked off on 24 February with new presenter Virginie Guilhaume.France - 20 February 2009

Truly a phenomenon, France’s most talked-about TV talent search returns to M6. Interest isrunning high once again this year: the jury hitthe road in France to seek out a new star, audi-tioning more than 25,000 people between theages of 16 and 34. The selection criteria: talent,charisma and true artistry.

It’s no mean feat to charm a jury reputed to beso demanding. The foursome is made up ofAndré Manoukian, a composer and producerwith heart, pop music icon Lio, the talentedmusician and composer Sinclair and PhilippeManoeuvre, one of the most influential rockmusic journalists in France.

For the premiere of the seventh season, viewersgot a look at the auditions in Marseille and Lillewhere 8,000 contestants presented themselves.Up to 5.9 million viewers and an average of 4.6million tuned in to the first episode – represen-ting a market share of 31.3 per cent in the targetgroup of housewives under 50. And when theprime time programme ended on M6, fanscould go to W9 to catch the show Nouvelle StarContinue for behind-the-scenes action, featu-

ring the contestants’ heated reactions,encounters with the families, who thejury loved – and what they hated.

A quintessential multimedia program-me (35 million videos watched, 120million pages seen last year), the spar-kling Nouvelle Star is gaining momentumby investing on all platforms. On Wideo.frand M6.fr, fans find the show’s greatestmoments, the contestants’ performances andespecially the famous “Hit des inoubliables”(worst auditions). On the official site, internetusers can check out a multimedia retrospectiveof their favourite contestants’ as they progress,make predictions or create their very own sup-port site.

L’Expédition RTLin the Aral Sea In February, L’Expédition RTL, the social-aware-ness programme on RTL Radio France, went toKazakhstan and Uzbekistan to investigate theconsequences of desertification in the Aral Searegion.France - 23 February 2009

Sophie Joussellin, a reporter from the radio sta-tion, spent a week on location to conduct theenquiry, microphone in hand. Every day, shesubmitted her journal, in which she spokeabout the conditions during her trip, herencounters and her discoveries. Last Monday,RTL Radio dedicated a full day of broadcastingto this environmental topic.

Expédition RTL first went to Kazakhstan to lookat the Aral Sea, which is situated in Central Asiaand is bordered by Kazakhstan andUzbekistan, both former Republics of theSoviet Union. Once upon a time, the Aral Seawas twice the size of Belgium, covering an area68,000 square kilometers. The fourth largestlandlocked body of water before 1960, theAral’s area diminished by more than 60 per centin 40 years. The reason: Soviet powers decidedat that time to divert the two rivers that fed it,the Amu Darya in the South and the Syr Daryain the North, to irrigate its cotton fields.

Today, thanks to a sea wall constructed withfunds from the World Bank, the Northern part ofthe Aral Sea has seen its water levels rise. Itwas a veritable miracle that restored fishing tothe region. With the rise in the sea level and thereturn of fishing, the small villages close to theAral Sea are being revitalised.

Sophie then went to Aralsk, also in Kazakhstan.Before the 1970s it was one of the two princi-pal ports on the Aral Sea. The second wasMoynak in Uzbekistan. Today Aralsk (35,000inhabitants) lies 45 kilometers away from theAral Sea, and was more than 100 kilometersaway when the sea was at its driest point.

On its second-to-last day of investigation,Expédition RTL went to Uzbekistan. There wasmuch less optimism here than on theKazakhstan side. The sea seems almostcondemned, if not ready to disappear, or atleast on the way to becoming a kind of deadsea: today salinity levels stand at 120 grams ofsalt per litre, and no fish can survive in itswaters any longer. The lowering of the Aral Sealevels has also had serious consequences onthe health of inhabitants. The evaporation ofthe water has left salt deposits and dust on theground, while water from the Amu Darya (on theUzbekistan side) and the Syr Darya rivers (onthe Kazakhstan side), polluted by pesticidesused in the cotton fields, have caused many ill-nesses: diseases of the blood and the lungs aswell as cancers.

Expédition RTL in the Aral Sea is the fifth expe-dition to date. Previously, RTL Radio reportershave gone to Alaska, Mali, India and NewCaledonia, and in their travels have looked intothe problems of climatic change, desertificationand deforestation, waste management and theprotection of biodiversity.

If Šola wins, the prize money forthe next show is increased, and Šola gets anew opponent in the next round.

Since first launching in 2001, FremantleMedia’sIdols format has gone on to great success inthe UK, the United States, Belgium, France, theNetherlands, Germany, and many other coun-

tries. Now Croatia has its own version: Hrvatskatrazi zvijezdu. Auditions were held in the biggestCroatian cities – Zagreb, Split, Osijek andRijeka. Like the original format, Hrvatska trazizvijezdu has a single aim – to identify outstan-ding musical potential and talent among ‘ordi-nary’ people. The three judges – singer JelenaRadan, singer Tony Cetinski and Director ofDallas Records Goran Lisica Fox – assessed atotal of 5,000 would-be stars. Antonija Blacemoderates the show and helps the candidatesovercome their stage fright and any fears theymight have of the jury.

The quest for the Croatian star began thisweekend. In the 18 to 49 demographic, 23 percent of the viewers tuned in to Hrvatska trazizvijezdu. Over the next four months we will findout which of the candidates has that certain‘something’ that a real superstar needs in addi-tion to a beautiful voice.
