Ymddiriedolaeth Y BBC Adolygiad Gwasanaeth: Gwasanaethau Newyddion a Radio’R BBC I’R Cenhedloedd Ymddiriedolaeth y BBC Adolygiad gwasanaeth: gwasanaethau newyddion a radio’r BBC i’r cenhedloedd Awst 2016 Cyflwyniad Pwrpas a chwmpas yr adolygiad hwn Pwrpas y BBC yw gwasanaethu er budd y cyhoedd a’i brif amcan yw hyrwyddo’r dibenion cyhoeddus. Mae’r BBC yn cael ei ariannu gan y cyhoedd drwy ffi’r drwydded ac mae o dan rwymedigaeth unigryw i wasanaethu’r holl gynulleidfaoedd. Yr Ymddiriedolaeth yw corff llywodraethu’r BBC a’n cyfrifoldeb ni yw cael y gorau gan y BBC i dalwyr ffi’r drwydded. Un o’r ffyrdd rydym yn gwneud hynny yw drwy gynnal adolygiadau o bob un o wasanaethau’r BBC. Ym mhob adolygiad gwasanaeth byddwn yn ystyried pa mor dda yw perfformiad y gwasanaeth ar sail y telerau yn ei drwydded gwasanaeth, ac a ddylid gwneud newidiadau yn y gwasanaeth neu yn ei drwydded gwasanaeth er mwyn rhoi mwy o werth i’r cyhoedd yn y dyfodol. Mae’r adolygiad hwn yn ymdrin â gorsafoedd radio’r BBC i’r cenhedloedd, yn ogystal â’r arlwy newyddion a materion cyfoes a geir ym mhob cenedl ac ar ei chyfer ar y teledu ac ar- lein. Mae’n cwmpasu’r gwasanaethau radio a theledu canlynol: Radio Wales, Radio Cymru, Radio Scotland, Radio nan Gàidheal, Radio Ulster/Foyle a BBC ALBA. Dyma’r ail dro i’r Ymddiriedolaeth adolygu gorsafoedd radio’r BBC i’r cenhedloedd, ond y tro cyntaf i ni edrych ar y cyfan o arlwy newyddion a materion cyfoes y BBC i’r cenhedloedd gyda’i gilydd. Dyma’r tro cyntaf hefyd i ni gynnal adolygiad llawn o BBC ALBA. Nid yw’r adolygiad hwn yn ymdrin â holl gynnwys y BBC a wnaed yn y cenhedloedd ac ar eu cyfer: nid yw’n trafod rhaglenni optio allan heblaw newyddion a materion cyfoes ar BBC One a BBC Two a wnaed yn benodol ar gyfer pob cenedl, na darpariaeth newyddion rhwydwaith y BBC, sy’n eistedd ochr yn ochr â’i newyddion i’r cenhedloedd. Nid yw’n ymdrin ychwaith ag allbwn S4C. Methodoleg Mae’r adolygiad wedi defnyddio fframwaith safonol y BBC ar gyfer mesur perfformiad er mwyn asesu’r gwahanol wasanaethau. Cyrhaeddiad: y graddau y mae’r gwasanaethau’n cael eu defnyddio gan gynulleidfaoedd Ansawdd: barn cynulleidfaoedd am ansawdd y gwasanaethau Effaith: y graddau y mae’r gwasanaethau’n cyflawni’r dibenion cyhoeddus Gwerth am arian: lefel y gwariant ar y gwasanaethau ac ystyried perfformiad ochr yn ochr â chost Cyhoeddwyd y cylch gorchwyl ar HYPERLINK "http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/our_work/nations_radio_news/tor.pdf" wefan Ymddiriedolaeth y BBC Wrth gynnal yr adolygiad hwn, rydym wedi gwneud defnydd o ystod eang o dystiolaeth: adborth i ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus ac oddi wrth sefydliadau rhanddeiliaid; ymchwil ansoddol a meintiol i gynulleidfaoedd a gomisiynwyd yn arbennig; cyflwyniadau gan Gynghorau Cynulleidfa’r Ymddiriedolaeth yng Nghymru, yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon; a gwahanol fathau o ddata’r BBC am berfformiad a chyllid. Mae’r holl dystiolaeth ategol ar gyfer yr adroddiad hwn wedi’i chyhoeddi ar HYPERLINK "http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust" wefan Ymddiriedolaeth y BBC. Crynodeb gweithredol Cyflwyniad Mae gwasanaethau newyddion a radio’r BBC i’r cenhedloedd yn rhan bwysig iawn o arlwy’r BBC ym mhob un o’r cenhedloedd datganoledig. Maent yn neilltuol iawn, yn rhoi pwys mawr ar gyflawni dibenion cyhoeddus y BBC ac yn cael eu gweld yn rhai o ansawdd uchel gan eu cynulleidfaoedd. Mae’r gwasanaethau hyn yn cyflawni rôl bwysig iawn am fod nifer o feysydd polisi pwysig wedi’u datganoli i Gymru, Gogledd Iwerddon a’r Alban o fewn y DU ac am fod ymdeimlad cryf a neilltuol o hunaniaeth genedlaethol gan bob un ohonynt. Drwy’r gwasanaethau hyn, gall y BBC hysbysu dinasyddion yn briodol ym mhob un o’r cenhedloedd am newyddion sy’n berthnasol iddynt gan gynnwys meysydd polisi llywodraeth lle gwelir effaith datganoli fel addysg, amaethyddiaeth, yr amgylchedd, iechyd a thai. Roedd ein hymchwil yn dangos bod galw clir gan gynulleidfaoedd am yr allbwn hwn. Er bod gwasanaethau radio a theledu’r cenhedloedd yn darparu cynnwys sy’n berthnasol i’r holl gynulleidfaoedd, maent yn tueddu i gyrraedd oedolion hŷn yn fwy effeithiol nag oedolion iau. Mae’r her o gyrraedd cynulleidfa eang yn cynyddu, gan fod oedolion iau’n benodol (ond yr holl oedolion i ryw raddau) yn gwneud llai o ddefnydd o wasanaethau darlledu ac yn defnyddio mwy o gynnwys ar-lein. Mae hyn yn effeithio ar y defnydd o newyddion yn benodol. Mae technoleg newydd yn darparu ffyrdd mwy arloesol a hyblyg i’r BBC gynnig ei gynnwys, ond mae hefyd yn rhoi mwy o ddewis i gynulleidfaoedd ac yn creu risg na fydd y BBC yn gallu cyflawni ei ddibenion cyhoeddus ar gyfer cynulleidfa eang os na fydd yn cadw’n wastad â newid. Rhaid i’r gwasanaethau ddod o hyd i ffordd o aros yn berthnasol a moderneiddio eu harlwy i oedolion iau, ond rhaid iddynt wneud hynny mewn cyfnod pan yw cyllid ar draws y BBC o dan bwysau, a gall hyn alw am gyfaddawdu anodd. Gwasanaethau radio’r BBC i’r cenhedloedd Mae gwasanaethau radio’r BBC i’r cenhedloedd yn gweithredu ochr yn ochr â 10 o orsafoedd radio rhwydwaith. Mae cyrhaeddiad wythnosol holl bortffolio radio’r BBC yn amrywio’n fawr, o 59% yn yr Alban a 60% yng Ngogledd Iwerddon i 73% o oedolion yng Nghymru. Yn achos gorsafoedd radio’r cenhedloedd, roedd y cyrhaeddiad wythnosol yn amrywio o 35% ar gyfer Radio Ulster/Foyle i 21% ar gyfer Radio Scotland a 16% ar gyfer Radio Wales yn 2015. Deg gorsaf radio rhwydwaith y BBC yw: BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 1 Xtra, BBC Radio 2, Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, Radio 4Extra, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, BBC 6 Music, a BBC Asian Network Mae’r ddwy orsaf ar gyfer ieithoedd brodorol yn uchel eu cyrhaeddiad ymysg eu cynulleidfaoedd targed: mae Radio Cymru yn cyrraedd 30% o siaradwyr Cymraeg rhugl ac mae Radio nan Gàidheal wedi honni ei bod yn cyrraedd 69% o siaradwyr Gaeleg. Mae pob un o orsafoedd radio’r cenhedloedd yn canolbwyntio ar gyflawni’r dibenion cyhoeddus ar gyfer dinasyddiaeth a chymdeithas sifil, gan adlewyrchu rhanbarthau a chymunedau’r cenhedloedd a’u diwylliant a chreadigedd. Mae’r gorsafoedd wedi canolbwyntio’n fwy ar y dibenion cyhoeddus ers ein hadolygiad cyntaf yn 2011, ac mae pob un ohonynt wedi dod yn fwy neilltuol ym mhortffolio radio’r BBC o ganlyniad i hyn. Mae rhaglenni’r oriau brig ar y gorsafoedd yn canolbwyntio ar newyddiaduraeth o ansawdd uchel ac allbwn arall seiliedig ar y gair llafar. Mae rhaglenni am fywyd, diwylliant a materion y cenhedloedd datganoledig yn cwrdd â’r galw gan gynulleidfaoedd am newyddion ynghylch eu cenhedloedd penodol mewn modd nad yw gorsafoedd i’r DU gyfan yn gallu ei gyflawni fel arfer. Mae gwerth cyhoeddus y gwasanaethau hyn wedi’i seilio ar nifer bach o ymrwymiadau meintiol a nodwyd yn y drwydded gwasanaeth i bob gorsaf. Rydym wedi canfod bod maint yr arlwy newyddion a materion cyfoes a ddarperir nawr gan bob gorsaf yn uwch o lawer na lefel yr ymrwymiad. Felly byddwn yn ailosod yr ymrwymiadau ar lefel sy’n agosach i’r allbwn gwirioneddol, gan roi lwfans o tua 20% i ganiatáu amrywiadau arferol mewn rhaglenni a newidiadau bach mewn strategaeth olygyddol. Mae pob gorsaf yn ceisio gwasanaethu ei holl wrandawyr – nid ydynt yn targedu gwrandawyr hŷn, a hynny’n briodol, gan fod eu cynnwys yn berthnasol i’r holl oedolion. Er hynny, ni ellir gwadu nad ydynt yn denu cynulleidfa hŷn, ag oedrannau cymedrig o 53 ar gyfer Radio Scotland, 55 ar gyfer Radio Ulster/Foyle a 56 ar gyfer Radio Wales. Un o’r rhesymau am hyn yw bod pobl hŷn at ei gilydd yn ymddiddori’n fwy mewn newyddion am eu cenedl a hefyd bod gwrandawyr iau’n debygol iawn o wneud defnydd o orsafoedd cerddoriaeth y BBC a darlledwyr masnachol a gwasanaethau cerddoriaeth digidol mwy newydd. Mae hyn wedi cyfrannu at y pwysau ar gyrhaeddiad ac oriau gwrando’r gorsafoedd, yn ogystal â’u proffil oedran nodweddiadol. Yr her i’r gorsafoedd yw canfod ffordd o barhau i gyrraedd cynulleidfa eang heb wanhau eu harlwy neilltuol sy’n seiliedig ar y gair llafar. Mae’r BBC yn cydnabod hyn ac yng Nghymru a’r Alban, lle mae’r her ar ei mwyaf, mae’r BBC yn ystyried a allai’r gorsafoedd amrywio’r cymysgedd o gerddoriaeth a’r gair llafar, un ai ar y gwasanaeth craidd neu drwy lansio ail arlwy sy’n rhoi mwy o bwyslais ar gerddoriaeth (tra bydd y prif wasanaeth yn parhau i ganolbwyntio ar newyddion a’r gair llafar). Rydym yn annog y BBC i ddod o hyd i ffyrdd newydd o weithredu a fydd yn caniatáu iddo barhau i gyflawni’r dibenion cyhoeddus hyn ar gyfer cynulleidfaoedd yn y cenhedloedd. Rydym yn ymwybodol, er hynny, fod portffolio radio’r BBC eisoes yn cynnwys nifer o orsafoedd cerddoriaeth ac y dylid ystyried neilltuolrwydd yn y cyd-destun hwn wrth wneud cynlluniau. Ffynonellau: Radio Cymru - RAJAR (2015) a Radio nan Gàidheal, cyrhaeddiad honedig o arolwg Leirsinn RAJAR (2015) Ofcom (2015) News Consumption in the UK Mae’n bosibl y bydd trefnu i rywfaint o gynnwys gorsafoedd radio’r cenhedloedd fod ar gael ar alw, drwy apiau a chyfryngau cymdeithasol, yn helpu i gynnal eu cyrhaeddiad ymysg oedolion iau. Gallai fod o gymorth hefyd i hybu ymwybyddiaeth o rannau o amserlenni pob gorsaf y tu allan i’r oriau brig. Rydym yn annog y BBC i ddod o hyd i ffyrdd newydd o weithredu yn y maes hwn.

    Delivering Quality First in Northern Ireland DELIVERING QUALITY FIRST IN NORTHERN IRELAND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The BBC in Northern Ireland aims to bring the highest quality, most distinctive programmes and services to local audiences, reflecting the diversity of its cultures, communities and languages, and informing, educating and entertaining all its citizens. Our ambition is to deliver content driven by the unique needs of our local audiences, fulfilling the BBC’s public purposes within the context of political, economic and social change in Northern Ireland. The capacity to evaluate and reflect a Northern Ireland society during this period of significant transformation is at the heart of our proposition. Northern Ireland-specific output such as BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle is extremely popular and highly distinctive. On television, BBC Newsline and the current affairs programme Spotlight combine with live sports coverage and a wide range of non-news programming such as The Estate, Belfast Blitz and House of the Year to deliver significant value to local audiences. In the first quarter of 2011, ten of BBC One Northern Ireland’s top twenty programmes were locally made Northern Ireland programmes. Within a very competitive television news market, the BBC’s television news specifically for Northern Ireland audiences (BBC Newsline) is highly trusted and valued by our audience. When the BBC’s programmes for Northern Ireland audiences opt into the BBC One and BBC Two network schedules, they consistently add to the overall channel performance. BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle reaches on average almost 38% of the Northern Ireland adult population each week – amongst the highest reach of all of the BBC’s national and local radio services.

  • BBC Belfast and Cinegy: News, Collaboration and Production for the Digital Northern Ireland Initiative
    BBC Belfast and Cinegy News, Collaboration and Production for the Digital Northern Ireland Initiative BBC Belfast and Cinegy: News, Collaboration and Production for the Digital Northern Ireland Initiative In the heart of Belfast, County Antrim, sits Broadcasting House, home to BBC Northern Ireland, the primary public service broadcaster providing television, radio, online and interactive television content to the Northern Ireland region. BBC NI is part of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and one of three such national regions, along with BBC Scotland and BBC Wales. BBC Northern Ireland broadcasts two television channels from Broadcasting House, BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC Two Northern Ireland. The channels are mostly identical to the national BBC One and BBC Two broadcast from London, with the addition of regional programming and local announcers. The main signal is distributed from London to Belfast via dedicated lines where live continuity is managed by a team of regional announcers who double up as playout directors, inserting local programmes and content. With a history of social and political turmoil, the accessibility of regional news and current affairs has always been paramount to the people of Northern Ireland. The BBC Northern Ireland regional news service, BBC Newsline, provides lunchtime, evening and late night bulletins. They offer several political programmes, such as, Spotlight and Let’s Talk, as well as local arts programmes and weekend chat shows. The Belfast facility produces a total of 11 daily regional news programmes as well as covering any special events in the region. In addition to local programming focusing solely on a Northern Irish audience, the Belfast facility also features a large production unit that generates content that is broadcast on the BBC's channels across the UK.

  • BBC Nations' News and Radio Services
    BBC Trust service review: BBC nations’ news and radio services summary report August 2016 Executive summary Introduction The BBC nations’ news and radio services are a very important part of the BBC’s offer in each of the devolved nations. They are highly distinctive, very focused on delivery of the BBC’s public purposes and are seen as high quality by their audiences. These services play a particularly important role because Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland are devolved within the UK in many important policy areas and each has a strong and distinct sense of identity. These services allow the BBC to properly inform citizens in each nation about news which is relevant to them including government policy areas affected by devolution such as education, agriculture, the environment, health and housing. Our research found clear audience demand for this output. While the nations’ radio and TV services have content that is relevant to all audiences, they tend to reach older adults more effectively than younger ones. The challenge to reach a broad audience is growing, as younger adults in particular (but all adults to some degree) use broadcast services less and consume more online content. This affects news consumption in particular. New technology provides more innovative and flexible ways for the BBC to offer its content, but it also increases choice for audiences and creates a risk that, if the BBC does not keep pace with change, it will not be able to deliver its public purposes to a broad audience. The services must find a way to remain relevant and modernize their offer for younger adults, but they must do so at a time when funding across the BBC is under pressure, and this may entail difficult trade-offs.

  • Ofcom Advisory Committee for Scotland Response to BBC Trust
    Ofcom Advisory Committee for Scotland Response to BBC Trust consultation on BBC nations' radio, BBC Alba and news and current affairs on TV and online in the devolved nations ‘The Advisory Committee for Scotland advises Ofcom about the interests and opinions, in relation to communications matters, of persons living in Scotland.’1 This response to the BBC Trust Consultation is from the Advisory Committee for Scotland (ACS). In no sense does it represent the views of Ofcom. However, it draws on the collective knowledge and expertise of the Advisory Committee for Scotland, informed by discussion at our meetings, the agendas and minutes of which are available on the Ofcom website. Summary The Ofcom Advisory Committee for Scotland considers that:- BBC TV and radio news and current affairs struggles to provide sufficient Scottish content, localness, depth, analysis and originality to meet PSB aims in Scotland. The ability of the current PSB system to meet the needs of Nations’ audiences with increasing devolution was highlighted as an area of concern in Ofcom’s 2015 PSB review 2. Funding is certainly part of the problem, dedicated services such as Radio Scotland receive significantly lower levels of funding than their counterparts in other nations3. The increasingly distinctive public policy agenda in Scotland is not adequately addressed by either BBC Scotland or Network output, where the recommendations in the King Review have yet to be fully implemented. It is hard to see how changes to BBC Scotland alone can solve this problem. There is a persistent measurable public purpose gap, with research from the BBC showing that only 48% of Scots think the BBC is good at representing their life in news and current affairs content, the lowest in the UK.
