This article highlights the commissioning and content strategies employed in the production of programmes for the ‘prime space’ of the public service streaming service TV 2 Play in Denmark. The strategies fuel two overall trends in the entertainment and documentary programmes currently published: (1) the embedded diversity approach and (2) the megaphone approach. The article is based on interviews with management at TV 2 and strategic documents, and it presents three examples of these current programming trends: the Danish adaptation of the reality game shows The Traitors (2023+), Race Across the World (2020+), and the documentary The Black Swan (2024–2025). The article discusses on this background the challenges to core values in public service media programming online.
