This means that Channel 4 must consistently balance creative and commercial objectives. 2013 was another very successful year for Channel 4 in its delivery of both of these elements. In 2012 the Board supported the executive’s two-year plan to draw a relatively small proportion of the reserves, accumulated in previous years, in order to support its strategy of ‘Investing in Innovation’. 2013 represented the We are encouraged to see strong results in many areas second year of this approach, and I am pleased to see the of our performance – continued growth from Channel 4’s returns of innovation ahead of plans to break-even in 2014. digital channels and platforms for example, as well as Creatively, 2013 was full of success stories.

  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.
