The two main channels of Spanish public service broadcaster TVE will be entirely advertising-free from the start of next year. Screen Digest estimates the law will free up 443m Euros of adspend for redistribution in 2010. The leading private channels, Telecinco and Antena 3, will get the bulk of the TVE money remaining in TV: we expect that Telecinco will reap 45.3m Euros, whereas Antena 3 will get 61m Euros. Spanish TV advertising prices have fallen by 25% in the year to date, but the TVE windfall, new advertising trading models and improvement of the economy in the second half of 2010 should facilitate a modest recovery.

Online advertising grew 20% across Europe in 2008, but growth rate will decrease ten-fold this year, with a mere 2% on average. From that basis, Screen Digest was invited to provide trends and forecasts at the 'Interact' IAB conference and in the 'Adex' annual report. This report, based on our monitoring of individual markets and a survey of advertisers and ad agencies, shows that the internet is no longer immune from the recession affecting the overall advertising market. Whilst average online advertising growth (2.4%) will still outperform all other media (down two-digit everywhere), growth rates are slowing down more significantly for traditional display (Search being more resilient) and in mature digital markets (UK, Benelux, Nordics) while less mature markets (South and East Europe) are still growing organically.

All eight of the leading free-to-air broadcasters in Europe's big five territories reported double-digit declines in ad revenue in the first half of 2009. At one end of the scale, ProSiebenSat.1 reported revenues 7.5% lower than the same period of 2008, while Telecinco fell a staggering 43% in Spain. The only positive note for groups like Mediaset, ITV and Antena 3 TV was that they performed slightly better than the overall market. Although there is little visibility for the second half of the year, Screen Digest shares the view that the worst may be over.

ProSiebenSat.1 lost its leadership of the German TV advertising market after a disastrous change to its sales model. German competition regulators fined the company and its rival sales house IP and ordered changes to complex sales methods based on discounts. Clients rejected P7S1's model and the TV ad market share fell to a historic low of 39.6% in 1H 2008 while RTL's share jumped to 45.8%. GMI does not expect P7S1 to engineer a recovery in this key business for at least four quarters.

The collapse of the deal between Leo Kirch's Sirius Group and the German football league (DFL) for TV rights between 2009 and 2015 is good news for Premiere, the current holder, and News Corp, which has built up a 25% stake in the pay-TV platform. GMI believes a bid for rights by News Corp would significantly increase the investment value of Premiere. However German pay TV market is not without risks and Spanish platform Digital Plus may be a better target.
