What are the needs? Viewers of programmes in foreign languages Young viewers of foreign language programmes

What are the needs? Immigrants and refugees Adult viewers of programmes with colloquial or fast language

Why now? Free-to-air Digital TV by 2012 represents a major window of opportunity… …but there will be others
