"Krawuzi Kapuzi" oder ein "Das Beste iiist ..."
45 Jahre TV-Star
"Seid Ihr alle da?"
Der Kasperl steht auch für ein Stück heimischer Kulturgeschichte: Bereits 1953 fragte der österreichische Rundfunk, damals noch als RAWAG, bei den Gründern der Urania-Puppenbühne, Hans und Marianne Kraus, an, ob sie an der Sendereihe "Kasperl im Funkhaus" mitwirken wollten.

IKEA Crazy
The Spike Jonze ad that almost makes IKEA cool. Like most ad-watchers in the real world, I'm generally not that interested in who directed a particular commercial. But one director whose commercial work does interest me is Spike Jonze.

MTV hat "The Osbournes"...wir haben "Die Lugners"!!!
ATV startet Mini-Soap "Die Lugners" Mörtel, Mausi und Jaqueline wüten ab 23. September im Privat-TV. "Das Publikumsinteresse nach ‚The Osbournes’ spricht für sich", so Alexander Oth, Geschäftsführer des für ATV produzierenden Unternehmens On-Media. "Was lag also näher als mit ‚Die Lugners’ die erste deutschsprachige Personality-Soap zu starten?" Keine andere Familie verfüge über einen annähernden Bekanntheitsgrad in Österreich, so Oth. Die ohnedies nie sehr medienscheue Familie wird das Publikum nun mit Alltagsszenen aus dem Tunesienurlaub, dem Besuch im Sexshop, Mausis Besuch beim Zahnarzt und anderen heimeligen Erlebnissen beglücken. Ob dies für die Quote förderlich ist, wird sich zeigen. Sollte die Mini-Serie erfolgreich sein, ist eine Fortsetzung (nicht notwendigerweise mit der Familie Lugner) denkbar.

Wer von uns erinnert sich nicht an die gute, alte Zeit des Fernsehens, wo es (wenn man Glück hatte) zwei oder drei TV-Programme gab, die hauptsächlich am Abend ihre Sendungen ausstrahlten- und das nicht unbedingt immer in Farbe....

A History of the Television Test Card.
British Television was of course the first in the world, and began on January 27th 1926 when Mr Logie-Baird first demonstrated that it was possible to transmit pictures using his mechanical scanning apparatus.

Roll Up for the Floppy Television Alt aber gut
LONDON (Reuters) Fri Jul 19, 2:06 PM ET - First they went wider, then flatter, and now televisions are set to go floppy.
Roll-up, flexible televisions, akin to the melting watches of Salvador Dali's surreal landscapes, have become possible thanks to a glowing plastic compound perfected in the laboratories of Britain's Cambridge Display Technology (CDT).
Roll-up televisions will allow viewers of the future to flip their sets out of sight like projector screens and will come with a similar price tag to bulkier boxes.
The technology stems from the discovery in 1989 of the compound p-phenylenevinylene which glows greeny-yellow when given an electric charge.
A little tweaking over the following decade produced compounds to emit blue and red light: the roll-up TV was born.
The market for light emitting screens is expected to grow from $20-25 million in 2000 to over $3 billion by 2005, and CDT's Light Emitting Polymer (LEP) screens are expected to grab a majority chunk of that.
"I think it (commercial production) is very close now," said Fyfe, adding that the last bottleneck -- finding a flexi-screen that protects the sensitive compounds from corrosion by oxygen and water vapour -- had almost been overcome.
"Realistically, you will see roll up displays around 2004 or 2005," he added.
"Just four weeks ago Philips demonstrated an all plastic display -- an incredible thing -- a device only a fifty millionth of an inch thick," said Fyfe. "If you can get thin enough plastic, then you would indeed have a roll-up television."
The Japanese giants of television manufacturing, Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba, are leading the race to put the technology to use, but not far behind is the military, which envisions roll-up maps of the battlefield fed by overhead satellites.
"They're interested in every ounce that can be saved from a soldier's pack," said Fyfe. With the flick of a switch the display could convert to infra-red for covert night operations.
On the home front, TV-watches, giant animated billboards, and a new wave of roll-up battery rechargers are just some of the applications in the pipeline.
"I think we'll see a lot of innovation," said Fyfe. "People are talking about weaving displays into clothing. Will there ever be a mass market for that? I doubt it. But it will probably be seized on by someone."
