Based in Denmark, Superchannel is a commercial company that since 1999 has provided access to web TV by providing a space for individuals or groups to make their own programmes. It currently hosts 28 channels and 1098 shows. Most of them are based in Denmark, Germany, and Sweden with some channels from Italy and Thailand. Access is via a web-based Content Management System and the content is managed entirely by the channel’s operators. There are discussion forums open during the initial broadcast and then the programmes are archived and will require RealPlayer to be viewed.
