Nent Group flytter sendetilladelser fra Storbritannien til Sverige

Brexit gør, at Nent Group må flytte deres sendetilladelser væk fra Storbritannien. Nu har man så offentliggjort, at det fra nytår bliver Sverige og dermed de svenske regler under Myndigheten för press, radio och tv (MPRT).

Udover Nent Groups tv-kanaler, så vil man også skulle følge de svenske regler i forhold til streamingtjenesterne Viaplay Reklame-link og Viafree.

NENT Group’s tv-kanaler og streamingtjenester vil frem til 1. januar fortsat være reguleret af den britiske myndighed Ofcom, i henhold til EU reglen om at kan udbyde tjenester i alle EU lande, med sendetilladelserne baseret i et andet EU land. Men med afslutningen på Brexit overgangsperioden, så skal Nent Group altså finde et andet land at sende fra.

Anders Jensen, NENT Group President & CEO: “We are an innovative, fast-growing, values-driven international company with Nordic DNA and it is natural that we are regulated in a Nordic country. We enjoy a good working relationship with the Swedish authorities and this decision reflects our commitment to the Nordic region and its world-class creative sector. This move will ensure the continued availability of our content to viewers across the region and beyond. We now have a stable long-term regulatory foundation from which we will embark on our ambitious and exciting international expansion.”

Charlotte Ingvar-Nilsson, Director-General, MPRT: “We are very pleased to welcome NENT Group to Sweden. NENT Group has a successful track record in attracting Nordic viewers and we are looking forward to working together.”
