South Tyrol and cross-border broadcasting: from illegal antennas to a streaming app
‘This content is not available in your country.’ A frustrating message familiar to many members of linguistic minorities. Geoblocking often denies them access to online content such as streaming services and media libraries from other countries where their language is spoken. This blog article takes a closer look at the case of South Tyrol. South Tyrol has officially had access to the TV programmes of Austria, Germany and Switzerland since the 1970s. With a new app, digital live streaming of TV channels is now also possible. Could the idea behind the app serve as a model for other minority regions?
