Swedish tv supply 1998

The study "Swedish TV supply" is conducted annually since 1998.

The examination of the programs offered on TV is designed to answer five questions: (1) What is the range of supply in the television channels during the program year 1998? (2) What similarities and differences are there between the television channels' program profiles? (3) What are the programs offered for specific groups: children, youth, minorities and the disabled? (4) How has variety of programmes developed over time? (5) And how is diversity manifested in Swedish television?

The study is based in principle on the information about TV programme from television channels. The programs are classified using this information and starting from a predefined classification scheme. Eight broadcast channels have been examined: SVT1, SVT2, TV4, TV3, Kanal 5, ZTV, TV6 and TV8.

In this study, as in most Swedish and international studies of television programme supply from the 1950s onwards, is information-entertainment the fundamental dimension in the classification of its contents. This means broadly that on the one hand, news and facts-oriented programs and on the other - programs focusing on recreation and entertainment are distinguished. In between, a third program genre is referred to among programs, including both factual and entertainment elements within a single program. The study also has programme supply classified by the target population the programs are primarily intended for: children, young people, ethnic minority groups as well as programs specifically tailored to people with disabilities.

Purpose:

Create repeated, systematic and long-term scientific studies of the programs offered in Swedish television

本项名为《瑞典电视节目供给》的研究自1998年起每年开展一次。

本次针对电视播出节目的调研旨在回答五大核心问题：(1) 1998播出年度内，各电视频道的节目供给覆盖范围如何？(2) 各电视频道的节目定位存在哪些异同？(3) 面向特定群体（儿童、青少年、少数群体及残障人士）的播出节目有哪些？(4) 电视节目品类的丰富度随时间呈现出怎样的演变趋势？(5) 瑞典电视节目多样性具体体现在哪些方面？

本研究原则上以各电视频道提供的电视节目相关信息为基础，依据预先设定的分类体系对节目进行归类。本次调研共覆盖8个电视频道：SVT1、SVT2、TV4、TV3、Kanal 5、ZTV、TV6及TV8。

与绝大多数自20世纪50年代起开展的瑞典及国际电视节目供给研究一致，本研究将“资讯-娱乐”作为节目内容分类的核心维度。具体而言，该维度将节目大致划分为两类：一类是以新闻与事实资讯为核心的节目，另一类是以休闲娱乐为导向的节目；同时还存在兼具纪实与娱乐属性的第三类节目类型。此外，本研究还会依据节目核心受众群体对节目供给进行分类，涵盖儿童、青少年、族群少数群体，以及专为残障人士定制的节目。

研究目标：针对瑞典电视播出的节目开展持续性、系统性且具备长期视角的科学研究。
