This article is based on a three-year-long content analysis of the use of reality TV content on the front pages of four popular video streaming services in Denmark: DRTV, TV 2 Play, Viaplay, and Netflix. The results give rare insights into front pages that are normally hidden behind logins but also longitudinal perspectives about the services’ changing curation practices. In particular, the two institutions with public-service obligations, DR and TV 2, have VOD services that showcase reality content more prominently than the two commercial competitors in this study. These findings point to how the reality genre’s role has changed over the years, since DR and TV 2 now embrace reality content in a strategy to offer ‘Danish content’ that stands out from what their foreign competitors offer.

在首页展示现实内容：比较丹麦视频流媒体市场上的四种服务


本文基于对丹麦四种流行视频流媒体服务（DRTV、TV 2 Play、Viaplay 和 Netflix）首页真人秀内容使用情况的长达三年的内容分析。结果提供了对通常隐藏在登录后面的首页的罕见见解，也提供了有关服务不断变化的管理实践的纵向视角。特别是，DR 和 TV 2 这两家负有公共服务义务的机构提供的 VOD 服务比本研究中的两家商业竞争对手更突出地展示现实内容。这些发现表明，多年来，真人秀类型的角色发生了怎样的变化，因为 DR 和 TV 2 现在将真人秀内容纳入战略，提供“丹麦内容”，使其在外国竞争对手中脱颖而出。
