  • British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Is a British Public Service Broadcast- Ing Statutory Corporation
    ERICSSON/CREATIVE MERGER INQUIRY Summary of hearing with the British Broadcasting Corporation held on Thursday 21 November 2013 Background 1. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is a British public service broadcast- ing statutory corporation. Its main responsibility is to provide impartial public service broadcasting in the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. It is headquartered at Broadcasting House in London and has major production centres in Salford Quays, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff and Glasgow, and smaller production centres throughout the UK. The BBC is the world’s oldest national broadcasting organization and the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees, with about 23,000 staff. Playout requirements 2. The BBC had a number of network channels, with BBC One and Two the most high profile. These two channels had had nations and regional variations for many years. It had regional variations only on BBC One and had nations variations on both BBC One and BBC Two. Red Bee Media (RBM) was responsible for playing out the BBC network streams, whereas the BBC was responsible for playout in the nations and regions. 3. Regions were branded, for example BBC London or BBC South East, during the regional news or a small number of other regional programmes. The nations’ brand- ing was always in place, for example BBC One Scotland, with equivalent branding for Wales and Northern Ireland. The BBC did not want to be seen as just a London- centric organization, and the way the channels were presented with nations’ idents, graphics and voice-overs that reflected the nations’ identity was important to viewers and the BBC.

  • For Immediate Release March 18Th 2019 BBC South East
    For immediate release March 18th 2019 BBC South East Today features Focus SB In what’s been a turbulent time of political indecision and mounting tensions over the looming Brexit deadline, Focus SB found itself in the spotlight on the BBC for a second time in just over a year. Interviewed by BBC South East Today’s political editor Helen Catt, chairman Roger Kemp shared comment about the company’s strategy in the event of a potential ‘no deal’ Brexit. Interviewed on the ‘shop floor’ at Focus SB’s factory on 11th March, where Catt was able to view manufacturing of sockets and switches in progress, Focus SB’s chairman Mr Kemp explained how the company expected to be impacted by Brexit and what preparations were being made for a ‘deal’ or ‘no deal’ Brexit scenario. Kemp commented: “I think for us all we’ve managed to do is to do a bit of stockpiling, get some goods in, make sure we’re not held up. I think we’re more isolated than some because we don’t have a big market in Europe. The fallout for us will be what happens to the value of Sterling because that will affect the cost of our imports.” Not the first time that Focus SB has been featured by the BBC; on this occasion Focus SB was approached for a BBC Brexit special via local business support agencies instrumental in supporting the company’s successful entry into the China luxury construction market in October 2017. According to Philip Johnson, programme director at Locate East Sussex, the BBC had contacted the organisation urgently seeking companies to interview on the challenges of Brexit for a special news item.
