TV2 may ease limits for non-profit Euros parties

TV2, which has acquired the broadcasting rights, intends to look favorably upon applications for non-commercial events during the men’s football European Championship (EC) this summer. The station has established a limit of 200 people for commercial events at bars and is maintaining it. However, for non-commercial events such as those organized by associations, schools, or municipalities, TV2 hints at a possible relaxation of the current 800-person cap without specifying by how much. Despite criticism from politicians and others for restricting large-screen events, TV2 insists that its guidelines create ample opportunities for smaller businesses and that it seeks to prevent festival-like events that capitalize on their commercial rights.
