    TV Universe—UK, Germany, Sweden: HOW PEOPLE WATCH TELEVISION TODAY Author: Colin Dixon, Founder and Chief Analyst, nScreenMedia | 2019 I NTRODUCTION Technology has become such a part of our daily lives that sometimes it seems that it is an end unto itself. However, in the world of the consumer, it has a particular role to play. Tim O’Reilly, who coined the term “open source,” put Online TV is now the second it this way: most popular source of “What technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done.”1 Home entertainment is most certainly a job that people “want done.” Ninety years ago, broadcast television television content in the UK, technology was the new opportunity to deliver it in an entirely new way.2 Based on the data from our most recent survey in Europe, the internet has become the next new opportunity to provide television entertainment to the home. Germany, and Sweden. Today, there are three primary sources of TV entertainment available to consumers: free-to-air (FTA), pay TV, and online TV. Free-to-air TV channels are typically received via an antenna but can also arrive over satellite and cable. Examples include BBC1, SVT1, and Das Erste. Pay TV services distribute linear TV over cable, satellite, and telco TV systems. Examples include Virgin Media, Sky Deutschland, and Com Hem. Online TV allows viewers to stream or download shows and movies over mobile and broadband data networks. Examples of services include Netflix, Now TV, and Amazon Prime Video. Just twelve years after Netflix first introduced streaming services, online TV has become the second most popular TV source in the UK, Germany, and Sweden.

  • Channel 5, Playground and MASTERPIECE on PBS Announce Cast for All Creatures Great and Small
    EMBARGOED UNTIL 7:01PM ET TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH Channel 5, Playground And MASTERPIECE On PBS Announce Cast For All Creatures Great And Small Newcomer Nicholas Ralph to play beloved vet James Herriot opposite Samuel West, Anna Madeley, Callum Woodhouse and Rachel Shenton Channel 5, BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning production company Playground (Howards End, Wolf Hall) and MASTERPIECE on PBS today announced the casting of key roles for their upcoming adaptation of best-selling author James Herriot’s cherished collection of stories, written by Ben Vanstone (The Last Kingdom) and directed by Brian Percival (Downton Abbey). Exciting newcomer Nicholas Ralph will make his television debut as the iconic vet who became renowned for his inspiring compassion, humour and love of life. Samuel West (Mr. Selfridge, On Chesil Beach) joins as Siegfried Farnon, the wonderfully eccentric veteri- nary surgeon and proprietor of Skeldale House who reluctantly hires the recently qualified Herriot into his rural practice. Mrs Hall, the resident housekeeper and matriarch of Skeldale House will be played by Anna Madeley (The Child in Time, Patrick Melrose). Siegfried’s errant and charismatic younger brother, Tristan, will be played by Callum Woodhouse (The Durrells in Corfu). Rachel Shenton (Switched at Birth, White Gold) takes the role of Helen Alderson, an independent local farmer’s daughter who helps her father manage the family farm and care for her younger sister. “This is an exceptional cast made up of a wonderful mix of exciting new and established talent,” says executive producer Colin Callender. “Re-visiting the world of All Creatures Great and Small is like going home and re-discovering old friends whom we haven’t seen in years.

  • Response to House of Commons DCMS Select Committee on the Future of Public Service Broadcasting
    Response to House of Commons DCMS Select Committee inquiry on the Future of Public Service Broadcasting June 2020 Summary • The UK’s PSB system has contributed greatly to a wealth of high-quality diverse content which has enriched and enhanced the UK culturally and socially, and also grown our TV production sector into a world leader. • While technology has caused shifts in viewing habits and access to a wider range of services, the level of public investment plus the specific remits for the PSBs means they remain as important as ever. • PSB continues to draw large audiences and services such as the BBC have shown their value, particularly during the pandemic. • TAC believes that any changes to the system should be only to enhance it and allow it to remain strong and well-funded. It is inadvisable to remove or reduce any funding or services, given that technological platforms come and go, and the purely commercial broadcasting world is a continually changing market with an ever-shifting range of companies, content and services. Likewise, a shift to online only would leave some viewers without any access to a reliable TV PSB service. • Future policies regarding PSB should focus on maintaining and strengthening the system and would include measures such as: extending rules around PSB prominence; protecting TV Licence Fee funding (including retaining the status of evasion as a criminal offence); maintaining broadcast over the digital terrestrial network; and maintaining regulation by Ofcom. Introduction 1. TAC (Teledwyr Annibynol Cymru) represents the independent television production sector in Wales. Our sector is a highly important element of the creative industries in Wales and the UK overall, providing economic, social and cultural benefits through supplying creative content.

  • Media Nations: UK 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.

  • All Creatures Great and Small
    MASTERPIECE on PBS to Co-Produce Playground’s new James Herriot adaptation ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL Boston, MA; June 27, 2019 - MASTERPIECE on PBS will co-produce All Creatures Great and Small, a brand new adaptation based on best-selling author James Herriot’s cherished and iconic collection of stories. The series is a production from BAFTA and Golden Globe®-winning production company Playground (Howards End, Wolf Hall). Channel 5 in the UK commissioned the series and All3Media will distribute interna- tionally.The production will also receive funding and support from Screen Yorkshire. All Creatures Great and Small will shoot on location in Yorkshire, England, as 2020 sees the 50th anniversary of the original publication of the much-loved books. The production, a six-part series plus a Christmas special, will be produced by Richard Burrell (New Tricks, Silent Witness). Executive Producers are Colin Callender and Melissa Gallant for Playground, Hugo Heppell for Screen Yorkshire and Rebecca Eaton for MASTERPIECE. MASTERPIECE on PBS is presented by WGBH Boston. Ben Vanstone (The Last Kingdom) is lead writer and Executive Producer and Brian Percival (Downton Abbey) is lead director. Since their first publication in 1970, the beloved books of James Alfred Wight, published under the pen name James Herriot, have held a special place in people’s hearts throughout the world. Chronicling the heartwarming and humorous adventures of a young country vet, the books introduced readers to his unconventional mentor and the cast of farmers and townsfolk who lived and worked in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1930s. This new adaptation will preserve the rich spirit, tone and values of Herriot’s iconic characters and stories and will bring to life his sharply observed, entertaining and incredibly funny tales of country life in the North of England for a modern audi- ence, introducing a new generation to his life-affirming stories.
