DIRECTOR GENERAL’S REPORT

Theprogramme-businessplan for2008wasbasedonexist-ingfinancialreferencesthatdidnotexceedthereferencesforthepreviousyear,andonchangeswithintheinstitutionandwithout. Thesechangesare the resultof rapid technologicaldevelopment, the modern approach to programme creationandthepossibilityofofferingnewservicesinthedigitalmul-timedia environment. We were faced with very demandingprogramme-production,financialandinvestmenttasks,duetogreatchangesinthecompetitiveenvironment.

In linewith the strategy in the fieldof radioand televisionprogrammes,wesetthefollowingimportantgoals:• tomakegooduseofthe80thanniversaryofRadioSlovenia

andthe50thanniversaryofTelevisionSloveniatopromoteprogrammesand strengthenour reputation, and increaseouraudience;

• tosystematicallyintroducespecialprogrammecontentforthetargetaudience;

• torenewthemusicalimageofourradioprogrammes;• torenewourradiowebpages;• topreparehigh-quality televisionprogrammeswhichwill

retainviewers;• toimproveradioandtelevisionculturalcontent;• toincreasetheshareofissuesconcerningSlovenesabroad

andSloveneemigrantsinourprogrammes;• topreparepilotbi-mediaprojectsofRadioandTelevision

Slovenia;• topreparenewprogrammesinthedigitalenvironment;• toreducethenumberofpermanentemployees;• toconcludetherenewalofthepaymentsystem;• topreparenewprogrammeandproductionworkprocesses

andstandards;• todigitaliseandcomputeriseradioandtelevisionproduc-

tion,withthepossibilityofproducingandbroadcastingTVinHDtechnology;

• tocontinuethedigitalisationofthebroadcastingTVnetwork;• tofacilitatethecompletionofthedigitalradioarchive.

Wemanagedtoachievemostofourgoals,thankstoourhard-workingemployees;anddespitethefactthatwehadfewer

funds,wemanagedtoachieveapositivebusinessresultwith-outreducingthequalityofouroutput.

Theyear2008wasofgreatsignificancetous.Wecelebratedthe80thanniversaryofRadioSlovenia,the50thanniversaryofTelevision Slovenia, and the 30th anniversary of the TV pro-gramme for the Hungarian national community. On this oc-casion,weenrichedourradioandTVprogrammingwithnewshowsandorganisedanumberofpubliceventsincooperationwithourmusicaldivisions(theSymphonyOrchestra,theBigBandandchoirs).

And2008wasaspecialchallengeforusall,asweconcludedanumberofdemandingprogrammeprojects: inthefirstsixmonths,SloveniapresidedovertheEuropeanUnion;inSlov-enia,therewereelectionsfortheNationalAssembly,andtheOlympicsinBeijing.

In the field of radio programming, we managed to realisemostof theplannedmodifications; someare long-termanddemandagradualapproach.Our radio channels continue toretainahighaudienceshare,withVAL202stillthemostpopu-lar.Weintroduceddifferentpromotionactivitiesandimprovedand strengthened the already high recognition of individualradiotrademarks.Werespondedquicklytocurrenteventsandpursuedtheinteractiveapproach,whichisalwaysinthebestinterestof thepublic.With regardto radioprogrammes,wetookastepforwardbyintroducingspecialcontentfortargetedaudiences (the disabled, retired persons, religious persons).Weairaone-hourbroadcasteachweekcalledNašepoti(OurWays)fortheRomanynationalcommunity.VAL202andRadioSireceivedadditionalEuropeanfundsforsomeoftheirinter-estingprojects.Mediateka, thecentral radioarchive, startedoperations;itcontainsdigitalisedmusiccontent;later,wewilldigitalisetelevisioncontentforthemainRTVarchive.

The regional radiostations inKoperandMariboralsostrovetoenlargetheiraudience.RadioKopercontinuestohavethehighest ratings in the region, despite the larger number ofcompetitors.ImprovementsarealsoevidentinMaribor,wherethecombinedandrational≤withregardtocostreduction≤bi-mediaoperationofradioandtelevisionisbeingsuccessfullyimplemented.Withits24-hourprogramming,RadioSiissuc-cessfullyjoiningthenationalradiochannels.

WeimprovedtheradioandtelevisionofferoftheregionalRTCcentres inKoperandMaribor, including theprogrammes fortheItalianandHungariannationalcommunitiesandbroadcastsfortheRomacommunity.Bothregionalcentresincreasedtheirshareinnationalradioandtelevisionprogramming.

Byimprovingthequalityofourmusicoffer,andwithamorefavourableratiobetweenmusicandthespokenwordinourprogrammes,weensuredahigherproportionofSlovenemu-sic.OurSymphonyOrchestra,whichisfrequentlyfeaturedonradio and television programmes, had 4,000 minutes of itsownprogramming;in2008,itperformed44concerts,5abroadand12outsideLjubljana.Almost45,000peopleattended itsconcerts.AgoodtwothirdsofarchiverecordingswereinthefieldofSlovenemusicalcreativity.TheBigBanddidnotfallbe-

In2008,theProgrammeCouncilheldfoursessions(February19,April15,June17andOctober28),i.e.onesessionfewerthanplanned. Thiswasnotbecause therewerenotenoughissuestobeaddressed,butbecauseofnumerousexternalcir-cumstances, including cost-cutting, since individual sessionsanddemandingrelevantpreparations(sessionofcommitteesandcommissions)incursignificantcosts.Particularattentionwasgiventothetimelypreparationoftheplanfor2009.Manyofouremployeeswereworkingonprepa-rations for the Olympics, and there were concerns that wewouldnotmanagetopreparethebasicdocuments.However,welaterrealisedthatourfearsweregroundless.Wehadveryfewproblemswithregardtocontent, financingorregardingtheSupervisoryBoard’sview.TheProgrammeCouncilwaswellawareofthegreatchangesandproblemsstemmingfromthepaymentsystemreform.Thecouncilwasalsowellawarethatthereformiscrucial.How-ever, itcouldnot intervene,as this isnotwithin itscompe-tence.Asspecialachievements,certainSloveneseriesshouldbementioned,althoughoneofthem,thefirstSlovenesoapopera,wasnotassuccessfulasexpected.However,RTVSlov-eniastartedthisprojectandtheexperiencelearntwasprice-less.Nowweknowhowourviewersseesuchprogrammes.We should also mention that some council members andviewersexpressedtheviewthat theseriesshouldnothavebeencancelled,becauseithadonlystartedto‘catchon’.Therelatively bad experiencewith this first Slovene soap operashowedthattheSlovenianpublicdoesnotacceptnewideasandexperimentsingeneral.TheProgrammeCouncilsupportedtheeffortsofTVSlovenia’sChannel3,whichnotonlyoffersgreatnewcontent,butisalsoakindofa‘laboratory’forthefuture.However,notmanysharethisview.Thefuturewillputthetelevisionmediatothetestandbringnewchallengesintermsofcontentandtechnology,andChannel3isakindof‘hatchery’fornewideas,personnelandexperience-inshort,aninvestmentintheinstitution’sfuture.Wecannotaccepttheviewthatdigitalisationisonlyatechnicalandnotacontent-relatedproblem(orperhapsthataboveall).TheProgrammeCouncilestablishedacommissionforSlovenesabroad(ledbyJankoMalle).Withit,thequestionofthevisibil-ityofcentralSloveneprogrammesabroadgainedacompletelynewperspective.Thusweovercametheexistingpaternalisticattitude.Hitherto,societyspokeofcompatriotsontheethnicmargins.

Intheplanfor2008,RadioSloveniaincludedeightbasicgoals,somelong-term.However,forobjectivereasons,notallwererealised.Wehadproblemswithupdatingthewebpagesofthefirstradiochannel;thisisstillanimportanttaskfornextyear.ItmustbenotedthatRadioSloveniarealisedsomeimportantgoals:

1. At the beginning of 2008, Mediateka (the central radioarchive)startedoperations;first,themusicalcontentwasdigitalisedforprogrammerequirements.RadiomediatekaispartofRTV’sfuturemainarchive,whichwillopenwhentelevision has been included in the digitalisation of con-tent. This is a very demanding and important project: tosafeguardradioandtelevisioncultural,artisticandhistoricheritage. This highly demanding professional work willneedtobeextendedtothespokenwordintheradioar-chive in order to safeguard the most important heritageofnationalradioprogrammes.Muchimportantmaterialispreserved on tape, and because tape is a very sensitivematerial,thosewithrecordedspeechwillbethefirsttobedigitalisedandarchived.However,thisprocessrequiresahighlyprofessionalworkerwhowillberesponsibleforthispartoftheradioarchiveandwhowillbeabletoidentifyindividualitems.Workinthisarearequiresmorestaffandwilltakesometime.

In2008,theMultimediaCentreofRTVSloveniacontinuedtodevelopnewservicesandproducts;weofferednewcontentandtookaccountofdevelopmentsinprovidingapublicserviceinEurope.

According to theMosssurvey(October2007/October2008),we increasedour reachby13%(511,046users),while thenumberofInternetusersinSloveniagrewbyonly7.8%.MoreimportantthantheincreasednumberofusersistheconclusionoftheInterstatsurveythatMMC’sInternetmediaisbyfarthemostobjectiveandcredible.

InvestmentsIn 2008, planned investments were fully realised; 90 % ofplannedresourceswereused.Amongthebiggerprojectsarethe system tool for themanagement of RAID (drive array),newinstallationsanddistributionofsignals,additionalaudiovideochannels(Channel3ofTVSlovenia,theOlympics),newformats(Flash)andtheexpansionofservercapacities.

RECORD LABELActivitiesIn 2008, the publishing activity of RTV Sloveniawasmostlylinked to radioand televisionprogrammesofdifferentgen-res,withaview toenhancingpromotion, renewingarchivalrecording (especiallymusic recordings), and concludingnewprojects. Evenmore than in thepast,westrove toprovideapublicservice,whichdistinguishesusfromotherSlovenianlabels.WeenablethepublicationofmanyprojectsimportanttoourcultureandRTVSlovenia’smissionwhich,underregularmarketconditions,wouldnotseethelightofday:thesearemainlyclassicalmusic,jazzandsomenon-commercialgenresofpopularculture,andpuppetandtheatreprojects.The record label published 65 programmes on sound andimage carriers, including three double CDs (La Bohème ≤ arenewed archive recording of the opera on the occasion ofthe150thanniversaryofPuccini’sbirth;Mojih40naj….≤newrecordings of the Slovenian pop music legend, Edvin Flisar;andMavrica≤100najlepšihpesmibyJanezBitenc,withad-ditionalnotesheetsandtextsintheenclosedsongbook)andtwodoublecombinedprojectswithaCDandDVD(withcultbandsoftheSlovenianpunkscene,PankrtiandNiet).Among65publications,44weremusicCDs,twowerecombined,and19wereDVDs.

Video publicationswerealmostentirelyforchildren;15werepublished in cooperationwith the Children’s andYouthPro-gramme of TV Slovenia. We continued the educational andfriendly animated series for our youngest audience, KravicaKatka, and published the revival of the legendary puppetseries KljukËeve dogodivšËine. We also published three outof fiveDVDsofthemostpopularanimatedseriesBacekJon(ShauntheSheep).IncooperationwiththeCultureandArtsProgramme, we published the TV film Hit poletja.

IncomeOperatingincome(external,withoutinternalratios)amountedto517,945EUR in the relevantperiodbetween JanuaryandDecember2008,or184,452EUR(26.3%)lessthanplanned.The reason for this liesmainly in the lowernumberof jointactionswithnewspapers:conditionsofferedwerelessfavour-able than in the past.

INVESTMENTS

Theinitial investmentplanwasadoptedwithinthescopeofthe Programme Business Plan for 2007, but was subject toaminor changewith the inclusion of co-financing from thebudget,asconfirmedbytheSupervisoryBoardofRTVSloveniaatitsregularsessioninNovember,butwhichhadnoimpactonthetotalvalueoftheinvestmentplan.Thedataonrealisedinvestmentsrefertothefinalshapeoftheplan,consideringthe reallocations mentioned above. The plan consisted of aschedule of regular investments and development projectswhichwerepresentedinseparatecolumns.Withallthefactsinmind,thefinalvalueofplannedfundsforinvestmentsin-cludedintheinvestmentplanofRTVSloveniain2008totalledEUR28,775,000.AnamountofEUR12,700,000wasplannedfor regular investmentandEUR16,075,000fordevelopmentprojects.Afterthechange,apartofdevelopmentprojectswasfinancedfromthestatebudgetfunds,astheMinistryoftheEconomy’s ElectronicCommunicationsDirectorate transferredEUR1,200,000fordigitalisation.

The investment plan was realised in a total value of EUR15,511,000,which is an average of 54 per cent realisation.Butintermsoftheamount,thisisthehighestrealisationofinvestmentsoveralongerperiod.Regularinvestmentswererealised intheamountofEUR9,536,000, i.e.75%,andde-velopment projects amounting to EUR5,975, i.e. 37%.OnedevelopmentprojectamountingtoEUR2,500,000hasnotyetbeendiscussedin2008,andimplementationhasnotstarted.Wehavetoemphasisethat,apartfromthementionedrealisa-tion,in2008westartedseveralprojectsandperformedsev-eralpublicprocurementproceduresthatwillbecompletedin2009with thedelivery and installationof equipment.

The Supervisory Board of RTV Slovenia did not discuss theoperational plan for the development project for a replace-ment construction at Ulica Komenskega 5 in 2008, becausetheprojectdesignandpre-investmentstudywerestillunderway.Thedevelopmentfundsforthisprojecthavethusnotyetbeenspent.
