  • The Bbc Trust Report: On-Screen and On-Air Talent Including an Independent Assessment and Report by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates
    THE BBC TRUST REPORT: ON-SCREEN AND ON-AIR TALENT INCLUDING AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT AND REPORT BY OLIVER & OHLBAUM ASSOCIATES MAY 2008 2 BBC TRUST CONCLUSIONS The issue of talent costs The BBC Trust operates to protect the interests of licence fee payers who pay for and own the BBC. As part of this we seek to ensure quality and value for money for licence fee payers and to challenge BBC management to use everything at their disposal to deliver both. An area where this is particularly complex is the salaries paid to on-screen and on-air talent. During the course of 2006, press reports about presenters’ salaries aroused industry and public concern and led some people to question the BBC’s approach to the talent it employs. This debate was still live when the Trust was established as the BBC’s governing body in January 2007. It was and has remained a topic raised by the public with Trustees during our appearances on radio phone-ins and at public meetings in all parts of the UK. Against this background the Trust commissioned an independent review, conducted by Oliver and Ohlbaum Associates Ltd (O&O), to provide an in depth examination of the BBC’s use of on air and on screen talent. We posed O&O three specific questions: • How do the size and structure of the BBC's reward packages for talent compare with the rest of the market? • What has been the impact of the BBC's policy on the talent market, particularly in relation to cost inflation? • To what extent do the BBC's policy and processes in relation to investment in, and reward of, talent support value for money? We are publishing O&O’s report which seeks to answer these questions, the BBC management’s response to the points it raises and our own judgements informed by this evidence.

  • BBC Management Review 2010/11
    Northern Ireland Management review 2010/11 a 01 Introduction 12 Looking ahead 19 Contacts 02 Two minute summary 18 Key priorities for next year 20 Northern Ireland 04 Service performance management “ Broadcasting makes an important contribution to the wealth and well-being of local society.” Peter Johnston, Director, BBC Northern Ireland Cover image Cover shows BBC Radio Ulster presenters at the launch of Open House in Broadcasting House, Belfast. Introduction The BBC’s mission may be constant and enduring, but the business of broadcasting, like society itself, is always changing. We can report on a year in which our services enjoyed broad and popular appeal, and much critical success. Network production increased and has now begun to achieve the critical mass on which its long-term sustainability depends; we enhanced our newsgathering with the appointment of new area-based reporters; and our local television portfolio was refreshed with additional landmark programmes and commissions that were intended to reflect community life in all its different aspects and diversity. We introduced schedule changes at BBC Radio Foyle; extended the availability of the BBC’s national DAB network in Northern Ireland; secured some necessary capital investment to facilitate local television outside broadcasts into the future; and delivered a range of BBC recordings and events – showcasing talent and providing moments of celebration for the whole community. All of this activity has been taken forward in the midst of real financial constraints. Further savings are in prospect and will require difficult choices about priorities and a clear focus on how we can maximise the impact and value of our service offering.

  • The Evolution of British Asian Radio in England: 1960 – 2004

II ABSTRACT Title: The Evolution of British Asian Radio in England: 1960 – 2004 Author: Gloria Khamkar This doctoral research examines the evolution of British Asian radio in England from 1960 to 2004. During the post-war period an Asian community started migrating to Britain to seek employment as a result of the industrial labour shortage. The BBC and the independent local radio sector tried to cater to this newly arrived migrant community through its radio output either in their mother tongue or in the English language. Later, this Asian community started its own separate radio services. This research project explores this transformation of Asian radio, from broadcasting radio programmes for the Asian community on existing radio stations, to the creation of independent local and community radio stations, catering to the Asian community exclusively in England. Existing research concentrates on the stereotype images and lack of representation of Asian community on the British radio; it lacks a comprehensive overview of the role of radio during the settlement period of the newly migrant Asian community.
