Subtitling for hearing impaired viewers consists of the display of dialogue and sound effects in text form at the bottom of the television screen; users have the option to turn it on or off. Audio description comprises a separate audio track in which a narrator uses spaces in the original sound track to describe what is going on for the benefit of people with visual impairments; like subtitling, it can be turned on or off. Signed television programmes incorporate the image of a signer translating dialogue and sound effects into sign language for the benefit of those who use it to communicate. 1.2 On 29 December 2003, that part of the Communications Act 2003 dealing with the provision of subtitling, signing and audio description (television access services) on television came into force.

  • “Building Television Programme Brands in the Digital Multi-Channel World – Perspectives of the Uk Television Professionals.”
    abc “BUILDING TELEVISION PROGRAMME BRANDS IN THE DIGITAL MULTI-CHANNEL WORLD – PERSPECTIVES OF THE UK TELEVISION PROFESSIONALS.” SUKHPREET SINGH BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY, UK Submitted for the award of MA BROADCAST AND FILM MANAGEMENT 2003-2004 Abstract This research seeks to be a pioneering study of television programmes from a brand management perspective by bringing together published literature in line with industry perspectives on programme and channel branding in the UK. The research traces the development of broadcast branding from its visual brand image era to today’s strategic brand thinking and management of individual programme brands by studying the role brand management plays in broadcasting today in the UK. The research indicates that broadcast brands are being compared more often to retail brands with the TV channel being a store and a programme being a product or line. It establishes the growing prominence of programme brands, the reasons for it and how it affects the resulting changes in relationship between the producers and broadcasters, besides shedding light on how programme brand extensions will develop in the future. At the same time, it says that the channel brands are poised to grow and consolidated in this highly fragmented multi-channel digital world driven by interactive, convergent and user-friendly technologies. Finally, it underlines the growth of non-broadcast commercial brands (in terms of advertiser funded content) which will play a major role in shaping how the programme and channel brands are built. Conducted in three months time as part of a Master’s degree submission, the research uses qualitative methodology and semi-structured interviews with purposively sampled industry professionals within an interpretive research philosophy.

  • Switchover–Related Changes to DTT Licences Response by Flextech
    SWITCHOVER-RELATED CHANGES TO DTT LICENCES: RESPONSE TO OFCOM CONSULTATION Flextech Television provides entertainment channels to the UK multi-channel television market. Flextech owns seven entertainment channels – LIVINGtv, LIVINGtv2, Bravo, Challenge, Player, Trouble and Ftn (plus their time-shifted variants). Flextech also has a 50% interest in UKTV, a joint venture with BBC Worldwide, which consists of ten channels: UKTV Gold, UKTV G2, UKTV Drama, UKTV Style, UKTV Style Gardens, UKTV Food, UKTV History, UKTV Documentary, UKTV People and UKTV Bright Ideas. Together Flextech and UKTV are the largest supplier of basic channels to the UK pay-TV market. Flextech Television also owns the media sales house ids, and the content distributor Minotaur International. Flextech is part of the content division of ntl:Telewest, which offers a wide range of communications and entertainment services to more than five million residential customers. ntl's networks can service more than twelve million homes – 50% of UK households – and 85% of UK businesses. SEPTEMBER 2006 INTRODUCTION We welcome the opportunity to comment on Ofcom’s draft licence amendments. The Digital Switchover process is off to a flying start. Ofcom reported in June 2006 that 72.5% of UK homes had adopted digital television – an impressive level of penetration given the relatively short life of digital in the UK. We accept that the challenge to complete the process is a significant one. The same Ofcom progress report detailed that only 40% television sets are capable of receiving digital signals, which highlights the scale of the task necessary to complete the job. Ofcom is therefore proposing to amend the current DTT licences to smooth the path.

Ofcom inherited these rules from the Independent Television Commission (‘ITC’)1 and Ofcom had a duty to review them in order to ensure that they remained relevant and appropriate. 1.2 Ofcom has sought to reduce the rules to the minimum required to clarify what is, and what is not, advertising; and the measures needed to ensure an appropriate competitive environment in the run up to digital switch-over. 1.3 Television, and advertising, is changing rapidly. In television, channels aimed at large audiences are complemented by niche channels aimed at smaller audiences with specific editorial interests. The same programmes appear on a variety of different channels, and there is an increasing desire by TV broadcasters to be able to promote their own services, but without using up valuable advertising time. Meanwhile, advertisers are also complementing their mass audience approaches by finding ways of addressing audiences in narrower, more specialist ways, using new forms of advertising and different ways of aligning commercial messages with editorial product.

  • Annex 2 Non-Confidential Version
    ANNEX 2 NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION APPENDIX 1: OFCOM’S INCONSISTENT REFERENCES TO RELEVANT MARKETS 1.1 One of the most surprising features of Ofcom’s approach to market definition in the Consultation Document is the inconsistent (and largely haphazard) way in which market definitions are stated, and the fact that a number of the statements on the market definitions that Ofcom has reached comprise products that are not actually supplied to consumers. 1.2 Set out below is an indication of the extremely large variety in the ways in which Ofcom expresses its findings in relation to relevant markets, separated according to whether they relate to sports, film or basic pay TV-only services.1 Sports • “There is a narrow economic market for premium sports retailing (sic) in the UK, which does not include FTA or basic-tier TV channels”2 • “…the retail market for packages containing premium sports…channels“3 • “It remains likely that there are separate retail and wholesale markets for the supply of premium sport… channels. The market for premium sports channels is likely to include both Sky Sports and Setanta, although we cannot rule out a narrower market for Sky Sports alone”4 • “the premium sports content market”5 • “the sports…market”6 • “the wholesaling of premium sport pay TV channels”7 • “a separate market for the retailing of pay TV packages containing premium sports content”8 • “the premium sports retailing market”9 • “in the retailing of premium sports rights”10 • “the wholesaling of premium sports channels”11 1 We note that the following quotations are Ofcom statements in relation to the relevant markets it considers exists (i.e., it does not include references in the Consultation Document to findings on market definition by other regulators in the past).
