Approach & Strategy
- Introduction of a near-live package to the domestic tender
- First time domestic rights were secured by two partners – ORF (premium live) and ServusTV (highlights, near-live)
- Internationally, SN1 and ÖSV were the co-initiators, together with other G7 federations (including Germany, Switzerland, Nordics and others) and advisors, of the Snowflake project – to advise on media rights monetization including potential rights centralisation, and putting together an alternative concept
