About TV 2 Danmark

“TV 2 Danmark A/S is owned by the Danish state and operates the public service channel TV 2 on a commercial basis. We offer a diverse range of programming, including news, sports, documentaries, lifestyle, entertainment, and drama series, making us a staple in Danish households. Our streaming platform, TV 2 Play, is Denmark’s most-watched streaming service, and TV 2 itself remains the country’s most popular channel.

In addition to our main channel, we operate several other TV channels, including TV 2 News, TV 2 Echo, TV 2 Charlie, TV 2 Fri, TV 2 Sport, and TV 2 Sport X. Our website, tv2.dk, is Denmark’s most visited news site, keeping viewers updated with the latest news.

With approximately 1,500 employees based in Odense and Copenhagen, we reach an impressive 85% of Danes on a weekly basis.”

Flexible data for live sports broadcasts at TV 2 Sport

“With sports events, we send out live crews and digital reporters to cover the events as they happen, capturing footage and sending it back for our viewers. For this, we needed a cost-effective solution that’s easy to manage daily and offers reliable coverage wherever our teams go.

Weconnect provided SIM cards for all our live sports crews. Each photographer now has their own personal SIM card, which travels with them on every production outside Denmark. This solution is set up as a monthly commitment based on average usage, with no top cap, meaning we can use as much data as needed.

It’s proven to be a better fit than making the entire data volume pay-as-you-go. With so much happening, we can easily commit to a baseline, which gives us a favorable price on our data usage.

In 2024, Weconnect SIM cards supported TV 2 Sports’ coverage of European Handball, EURO 2024, Tour de France and the Paris Olympics, to name a few. Switching to Weconnect has allowed TV 2 Sport to reduce operational costs for broadcast SIM traffic while securing reliable network coverage abroad.”

Why we chose to partner with Weconnect

• Lower costs compared to previous solutions where all data was PAYG
• Coverage. Weconnect operates with many networks. Both in Europe and globally. 
• Solid technical performance. Especially upload speed is important to us, and here we find that sims from Weconnect really excel compared to other providers.
