  • Bbc Asian Network Service Review, December 2011
    AUDIENCE COUNCILS’ SUBMISSION TO THE BBC TRUST: BBC ASIAN NETWORK SERVICE REVIEW, DECEMBER 2011 Executive Summary Introduction This response to the BBC Asian Network service review is based on the views of members of the four nations’ Audience Councils. The England consultation group included seven council members with a particular interest in the service. The members were drawn from four of the 12 Regional Audience Councils (see Annex), who also contributed feedback from their local audience networks. Audience Council Scotland held an audience engagement event in Dundee and received further audience feedback from the Highland Indian Association and other contributors. Audience Council Wales’ response was co-ordinated by a member of Council from a south Asian ethnic origin, but discussed by the full Council at its regular meeting in December. Audience Council Northern Ireland discussed the review at its regular meeting in December in addition to making contact with a range of appropriate ethnic minority organisations. The Council received no feedback from these organisations and its response is therefore generic in nature. Summary Findings The BBC Asian Network is meeting its public service role effectively and performing well against the BBC’s Public Purposes, particularly the Citizenship and the Reflecting the Nations, Regions and Communities purposes. With reference to those two purposes, audience members value the discussion and debate on a wide range of social, cultural and faith matters, and single out the contribution made by the documentary programming, described as one of the unique features of the service. The breadth of content is also appreciated, catering as it does for the diversity within the British Asian communities alongside coverage of the big national moments in the UK calendar, for example this year’s royal wedding.

  • 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.

  • The History of the Development of British Satellite Broadcasting Policy, 1977-1992
    THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH SATELLITE BROADCASTING POLICY, 1977-1992 Windsor John Holden —......., Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds, Institute of Communications Studies July, 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others ABSTRACT This thesis traces the development of British satellite broadcasting policy, from the early proposals drawn up by the Home Office following the UK's allocation of five direct broadcast by satellite (DBS) frequencies at the 1977 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC), through the successive, abortive DBS initiatives of the BBC and the "Club of 21", to the short-lived service provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB). It also details at length the history of Sky Television, an organisation that operated beyond the parameters of existing legislation, which successfully competed (and merged) with BSB, and which shaped the way in which policy was developed. It contends that throughout the 1980s satellite broadcasting policy ceased to drive and became driven, and that the failure of policy-making in this time can be ascribed to conflict on ideological, governmental and organisational levels. Finally, it considers the impact that satellite broadcasting has had upon the British broadcasting structure as a whole. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract i Contents ii Acknowledgements 1 INTRODUCTION 3 British broadcasting policy - a brief history
