"Prolonging TV 2.0?"- TV in 2016 - this is the programme in the era of diversification. Many viewers with many interests on many platforms. And how do programme makers deal with it? This event is about the innovative approaches, classical craft or even the question of whether one necessarily has to address each audience with each programme. What approaches make sense? Which technologies restrict? What is successful? And what innovations do we need to jump onto, hoping to make many viewers aware of the programme? Is "Content King" - or is it the well-known "stick of dynamite, who just kills many fish"? Are we successful with targeted campaigns - or is it the wide aligned mass campaign that makes no difference in the approach?"
