In this context, we were asked to consider how robust the scheme and its successors are likely to be, now and in the future, given any anticipated changes in the broadcasting landscape over the next 5-10 years, as well as the impact of any scheme that may operate adjacent to a new scheme or schemes (e.g., funds sourced from new content levies or other funding sources). ▪ A range of research methodologies was required to inform the various aspects of the review, including: a review of internal BAI data; secondary research; a bespoke consumer survey (delivered by Ipsos MRBI); an online survey of producers; and stakeholder interviews. ▪ S&V3 has been in operation since 2015, and in that time 10 funding rounds (numbering 23 through 32) have been completed.

  • Broadcasting Authority of Ireland
    Note to Authority Broadcasting Authority of Ireland Ownership & Control Policy Consultation – Submissions Received Communicorp Media………………………………………………………………………..….1 IBI…………………………………………………………………………………………….…11 Wireless Media………………………………………………………………………….……..20 Virgin Media……………………………………………………………………………...…….26 Matheson Solicitors………………………………………………………………………..….28 Dr. P. Gorecki………...………………………………………………………………………..31 Mr. M. Keogh………. …………………………………………………………………………68 Executive Summary Communicorp Feedback on Consultation Process We believe the BAI consultation process is flawed. It is not transparent and provides no feedback or evaluation as to why proposals are introduced or excluded in policies despite significant input from Communicorp and other stakeholders. The BAI must justify why it brings forward certain proposals for further consultation while disregarding many others. The emergence of new proposals at very late stages in the consultation process with no reasoning or explanation is also baffling to Communicorp. In addition, the BAI has frequent consultations on matters without any material changes or where no revised thinking has been communicated. There is no obvious reliance on high quality research conducted by the BAI itself in influencing the consultation. Ownership & Control Draft Policy Feedback Communicorp is deeply disappointed that the BAI is not taking the opportunity to bring the policy on Ownership and Control into the digital era. This draft policy is not relevant and appropriate for the Irish media market changes now and in to the future. The policy needs radical overhaul to ensure a viable, sustainable, indigenous independent, non- state radio sector in Ireland. The policy does not acknowledge the impact and material change that digital media and technological developments have had and will continue to have on consumers and advertisers. In the last 10 years, digital advertising has grown to account for 50% of the market.

  • Ownership and Control Policy of Broadcasting Services in Ireland: Reflections on Recent Proposals
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Ownership and control policy of broadcasting services in Ireland: reflections on recent proposals Gorecki, Paul Department of Economics, Trinity College Dublin 11 March 2019 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/92606/ MPRA Paper No. 92606, posted 11 Mar 2019 13:24 UTC Ownership and Control Policy of Broadcasting Services in Ireland: Reflections on Recent Proposals By Paul K Gorecki Abstract The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) is proposing: in assessing changes in the ownership and control of broadcasting licenses that the viability/sustainability of broadcasting services should be ranked second out of eight policy objectives; and, facilitating greater concentration of ownership of commercial radio stations through limited relaxation of the current ownership thresholds. There is insufficient justification for either proposal. The viability/sustainability objective is already addressed on an ex ante basis when a broadcaster is licensed. The ex ante evaluation should be strengthened by retaining (rather than abolishing) the existing BAI two- year time limit on a licensee being able to transfer ownership. If the viability/sustainability objective is, however, to be retained then it should be ranked much lower than second out of eight objectives. In terms of the BAI’s proposals for facilitating greater concentration of ownership of commercial radio stations, serious consideration should be given to retaining (not abolishing) the Five Additional Factors that go to the heart of plurality and diversity which are core, not peripheral, to the aims and objectives of the BAI. Furthermore the BAI should provide greater clarity how the tests to approve the transfer of a radio license are applied, through guidance and the publication of reasoned decisions.
