Queen's 70th birthday on TV2 & GigaContent

April 15th, 2010

The world's perhaps most popular monarch turns seventy this week, and both TV2 & GigaContent will be on the spot when the celebrations begin on Friday April 16.

GigaContent will once again make a high speed transmission connection available to the major Danish broadcaster TV2 for the transmission of live coverage of the event from Copenhagen City Hall. The live footage will be sent from City Hall to TV2's main facility in Odense, from where it will be broadcasted to hundreds of thousands of Danish TV-viewers via TV2's broadcast network.

The Queen will be facing a busy day, and as an important part of her programme she is scheduled to be received at City Hall for light entertainment, lunch, and of course plenty of congratulations from the masses. Transmission from the Queen's birthday starts at 11 a.m. on TV2, and the reception at City Hall is scheduled to take place at approximately 12:45.

- This transmission is another example of our excellent relationship with TV2, and it shows the many opportunities for direct transmission inherent in GigaContent's services. Once you have a GigaContent connection to a significant point-of-event - such as Copenhagen City Hall - there are few restrictions on what you can do with it, says VP Sales for Giga Content, Jan de Blanck.
