In recognition of the changing and converging worlds of telephony and broadcasting, a key proposal was the establishment of a single communications regulator, the Office of Communications (Ofcom). The Committee reported on the white paper in March 2001, welcoming the adoption of our predecessor Committee’s recommendation, made in 1998, for a single regulator while, at the same time, noting the absence of any reference to Ofcom’s accountability to Parliament. We were thus all the more appreciative of the suggestion of Ofcom’s chairman, Lord Currie, that the newly merged regulator give evidence to the Committee on an annual basis. The short Office of Communications Act 2002 had confined itself to the establishment of Ofcom, leaving details of the scope and nature of its activities to the (much) larger Communications Act 2003. The latter began as a draft Bill, published in May 2002 (shortly after the Committee’s report on Communications) and subjected to pre-legislative scrutiny by a joint committee. The 2003 Act received Royal Assent on 17 July, giving Ofcom only five months to become fully operational by vesting day, 29 December 2003. A key consideration has been the avoidance of a regulatory interregnum during the transition to the new regime, particularly in view of ongoing developments in broadcasting. Notable among these was government approval, in November 2003, for the merger of Carlton Communications Plc and Granada plc, subject to undertakings aimed at protecting other Channel 3 licensees (Grampian, Scottish, Ulster and Channel) as well as safeguarding competition in the market for advertising airtime. ITV plc began trading on 2 February 2004. With the rationalisation and consolidation that invariably accompany media mergers, ITV’s current proposals for studios and staffing levels in the Meridian franchise provide a relevant backdrop; and a cause for concern. We received several representations from trade unions, individual employees and Members of Parliament about plans to relocate staff from New Hythe, Maidstone, and the consequent impact on news and sports coverage in the south east sub-region. We also received representation about concerns over the impact of possible consolidation in the East Midlands. The Committee expects Ofcom to monitor the situation closely, and to intervene where necessary to safeguard the present high quality programming in regions and sub-regions throughout the country. So far as national news is concerned, the Committee believes that ITV’s removal of the 10pm news to 10.30pm is inconsistent with the spirit, if not the letter, of the statutory requirements of the Communications Act 2003 and the Broadcasting Acts it supersedes. We are concerned that Ofcom proved itself such an easy touch on this matter, which does not bode well for future attempts by ITV to manipulate its franchise. On 28 January 2004, Lord Hutton published his Report of the Inquiry into the Circumstances Surrounding the Death of Dr David Kelly C.M.G. His conclusions relating to the role of the BBC Governors will also merit careful examination in the context of the Government’s review of the BBC’s Royal Charter. Broadcasting in transition 5 1 Introduction 1. In November 2003, the Committee agreed to conduct a short inquiry into the implications of the merger of Carlton Communications Plc and Granada plc for the fulfilment of ITV’s public service broadcasting responsibilities including, but not confined to, regional programming and news. We were further prompted by concerns that consolidation of resources, and accompanying redundancies, for example in the Meridian franchise area, would adversely affect coverage of news and sport, particularly at the sub- regional level. 2. Concurrent with the ITV merger process has been the transition to a new regulatory system for broadcasting and telecommunications, authorised and embodied by the Communications Act 2003. A single regulator, the Office of Communications (Ofcom), was established in shadow form by the Office of Communications Act 2002, and assumed full powers from five legacy regulators on 29 December 2003. We decided to examine Ofcom on its preparedness to carry out its duties, principally in respect of broadcasting. 3. On 9 December 2003 we took evidence from SMG plc, the owner of Grampian Television Ltd and Scottish Television Ltd – two of the four ITV licensees not part of either Granada or Carlton. We also examined the Producers’ Alliance for Cinema and Television (PACT), the UK trade association representing the commercial interests of independent feature film, television, animation and interactive media companies. The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Broadcasting Entertainment Cinematograph and Theatre Union (BECTU) were examined, in part to illuminate concerns over the implications of the merger for the performance of ITV as a whole against its public service broadcasting obligations. Finally, we took evidence from Granada and Carlton. 4. Our second evidence session, on 16 December, was devoted to examining the Office of Communications. Lord Currie of Marylebone (Chairman) and Mr Stephen Carter (Chief Executive) were examined on their operational preparedness and the conduct of the handover period involving the five regulators they were soon to replace. We took the opportunity to question them on a wide range of public service broadcasting issues, including the scheduling of national news coverage on Channel 3 and the impact of proposals by Meridian Broadcasting Ltd for news coverage in the South East. We raised the issue of children’s programming, in particular the nature of food and drink advertisements scheduled in the breaks. We appreciate Lord Currie’s request that Ofcom appear before the Committee. 5. Where memoranda have been submitted by witnesses, we have printed these adjacent to the oral evidence at the back of this volume. We received further evidence in the form of written submissions to the Committee and correspondence involving a variety of interested parties. Some of this has been published as memoranda, while the rest has been listed and sent to the Public Record Office and the House of Commons Library. 6 Broadcasting in transition 2 Background 6. During the 1997-98 parliamentary session, the previous Committee published its report, The Multi-Media Revolution.1 It included the following recommendation: “We recommend the absorption of all current regulatory bodies into one Communications Regulation Commission with overall responsibility for statutory regulation of broadcasting,

  • Ofcom Review of ITV Public Service Broadcasting Requirements by Michael Moore MP and Jeremy Purvis MSP
    Ofcom review of ITV public service broadcasting requirements By Michael Moore MP and Jeremy Purvis MSP Introduction This submission to the Ofcom review of ITV public service broadcasting requirements is made by Michael Moore, Member of Parliament for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, and Jeremy Purvis, Member of the Scottish Parliament for Tweeddale, Ettrick and Lauderdale. As constituency parliamentarians, we represent in total a region of some 110,000 people in the south of Scotland who, in the main, receive their channel 3 programmes from ITV Border, based in Carlisle. We believe there are serious issues affecting the future of regional public service broadcasting, which have now been brought into sharp focus by ITV plc’s plans to make severe cuts to the regional news operations including those of ITV Border. We set out below our concerns and our hopes for this review. Importance of ITV Border ITV Border, and its independent predecessor, Border Television plc, have provided regional news and other programming to the north of England and the south of Scotland for decades. The particular engineering challenges of broadcasting to a vast rural area with limited population have co-existed with the unique historic, cultural and political differences defined (but also sometimes blurred) by the border between Scotland and England. ITV Border has, over the years, risen to the challenge very successfully. There have, of course, been issues that have arisen over time relating to Scottish sport and other Scottish programmes, but, by and large, ITV Border has served our region well. As technology has developed over the years, innovations have been introduced which have allowed ITV Border to be central to the news agenda in the south of Scotland.

  • The Factory, Manchester
    THE FACTORY, MANCHESTER The Factory is where the art of the future will be made. Designed by leading international architectural practice OMA, The Factory will combine digital capability, hyper-flexibility and wide open space, encouraging artists to collaborate in new ways, and imagine the previously unimagined. It will be a new kind of large-scale venue that combines the extraordinary creative vision of Manchester International Festival (MIF) with the partnerships, production capacity and technical sophistication to present innovative contemporary work year-round as a genuine cultural counterweight to London. It is scheduled to open in the second half of 2019. The Factory will be a building capable of making and presenting the widest range of art forms and culture plus a rich variety of technologies: film, TV, media, VR, live relays, and the connections between all of these – all under one roof. With a total floor space in excess of 15,000 square meters, high-spec tech throughout, and very flexible seating options, The Factory will be a space large enough and adaptable enough to allow more than one new work of significant scale to be shown and/or created at the same time, accommodating combined audiences of up to 7000. It will be able to operate as an 1800 seat theatre space as well as a 5,000 capacity warehouse for immersive, flexible use - with the option for these elements to be used together, or separately, with advanced acoustic separation. It will be a laboratory as much as a showcase, a training ground as well as a destination. Artists and companies from across the globe, as well as from Manchester, will see it as the place where they can explore and realise dream projects that might never come to fruition elsewhere.
