Response to consultation – localness on commercial radio Here in the Lake District, many people rely on local radio to stay in touch with what’s going on in their area. The area is chucked into the large North West areas by both BBC TV and ITV where stories and events in Cumbria struggle to compete with news coming out of Manchester, Liverpool and the big Lancashire cities which have little or no impact on people’s lives back home. As a result, people in the Lake District listen to local radio primarily because it is just that – local. By significantly reducing the number of hours that concern news which affects them, or which sees a presenter talk about things they can identify with, local radio stations will just end up being an inferior version of national stations and so listeners will just change over and listen to the real thing instead of a substandard substitute. Ofcom’s proposals would not allow for a local breakfast and drivetime shows. These are well known to be the two most listened to slots of the day and by sacrificing one of the two to national programming, then the station will lose purpose, credibility and, as a result, listeners. Seven hours of locally produced content per weekday must be retained, including provision at breakfast time. The Ofcom proposals are based loosely on the ITV regions. As a result, the Lake District is thrown into the ITV Granada region. Such a large area simply could not be accommodated into local radio. As stated previously, news coming out of Manchester, Liverpool and the big Lancashire cities which have little or no impact on people’s lives in Cumbria and vice-versa. Given that the proposals want to slash the number of local hours down to just 3, you would end up with a programme which wouldn’t be able to please anyone as you would have to give such a small amount of time talking about things that matter to one particular area that you end up making no one happy and a huge drop in listeners. There’s also with such a large area to cover for the presenter, the ‘what’s on guide’ section of a show could take up the designated three hours alone! The current area for Cumbria and Lancashire, which is producing great ratings and reviews, must be retained. .

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.

ITV Regions Where There Were Specific and Unique Issues Appropriate to the Proposals for Changing Timing and Territory of Coverage
ITV Regional News - Territories & Timing A qualitative and deliberative research study assessing audience response to proposals to review and refresh ITV’s regional news services Analysis based on fieldwork undertaken September/October 2011 01st November 2011 Table of Contents 1) Background to the Project 2 2) The Brief 3 3) Methodology and Recruitment Criteria 4 4) Preparation, process and stimulus material 6 5) Management Summary of Conclusions 10 6) Analysis in Detail 13 1 1) Background to the Project The provision of regional TV news from what were formerly the separate ITV franchise holding companies which are now mostly consolidated under ITV plc ownership has been part of the ITV programming offer since the foundation of ITV in 1955. It is generally accepted, and is supported by the findings of previous research, that ITV regional news formats have a unique affinity with regional communities due to their intimate broadcast footprint, accessible tone of voice and human presentation style. The approach is sufficiently different and distinctive to provide a genuine alternative to BBC regional news services. ITV plc commissioned TWResearch to undertake a viewer research exercise to assess reactions to a series of concepts exploring potential changes to the current levels of regional TV news provision. The ITV proposals were created to explore a range of format, timing and territory options. ITV regional news has an enviable heritage and reflects a longstanding affinity and empathy with audiences in the regions. The increased economic pressures on the funding of this valued ITV service along with changing patterns of media consumption accompanying the plethora of platform and channel options resulted in a need to review current provision and aspects of the broader approach to news between 6 and 7pm.
