  • The Role of Psbs in the UK TV Production Sector
    Small Screen: Big Debate Consultation – Annex 7. The role of PSBs in the UK TV production sector A7. The role of PSBs in the UK TV production sector Overview The TV production sector is a UK success story. The skill base of UK TV production companies has attracted valuable inward investment and global sales of UK programmes have boosted the image of the UK. The UK TV production sector consists of a mixture of large and small independent producers which operate alongside production companies owned by UK broadcasters. This successful production sector has attracted significant inward investment, from foreign broadcasters and streaming services. The UK independent TV production sector is not a product of the market alone; it has been supported and nurtured by the rules and obligations placed on the PSBs over the years. Rules on external commissioning, IP rights and regional quotas have played a vital role in the emergence and development of the independent TV production sector in the UK. UK TV production industry A7.1 The UK TV production sector has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. In 2004, the Public Service Broadcasters (PSBs) accounted for around 87% of all UK commissions.1 The PSBs also dominated content production, accounting for over half (56%) of all UK production.2 A7.2 Fast forward to now, the sector is diverse, competitive, and internationally successful. It has almost doubled in size over this period with commissioning spend on UK productions estimated to range between £4.5bn and £5bn in 2018.3 A7.3 In 2018, UK producers were responsible for almost half of all peak-time shows in major international markets.4 Formats such as Love Island and Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the Stars and The Office originated in the UK and have gone on to be global hits.

He started out doing work experience at a literary agency, and after getting a degree in English, eventually got a job in the script department of a short-lived ITV soap where he ended up writing over forty episodes. John went on to write lots of kids TV before getting a break on BBC1’s Robin Hood, which in turn led to BBC3’s Being Human, Lip Service and In The Flesh.

SOPHIE PETZAL Sophie got her break in writing for television on CBBC dramas Wolfblood, Hetty Feather, Dumping Ground and Dangermouse. More recently she has contributed episodes to ITV’s Jekyll and Hyde, Netflix’s Medici: Masters of Florence, Sky Atlantic’s Riviera, and BBC’s The Last Kingdom.

  • Media Nations 2020 UK Report
    Media Nations 2020 UK report Published 5 August 2020 Contents Section Overview 3 1. Covid-19 media trends: consumer behaviour 6 2. Covid-19 media trends: industry impact and response 44 3. Production trends 78 4. Advertising trends 90 2 Media Nations 2020 Overview This is Ofcom’s third annual Media Nations, a research report for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. It reviews key trends in the TV and online video sectors, as well as radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this report is an interactive report that includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. This year’s publication comes during a particularly eventful and challenging period for the UK media industry. The Covid-19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdown period has changed consumer behaviour significantly and caused disruption across broadcasting, production, advertising and other related sectors. Our report focuses in large part on these recent developments and their implications for the future. It sets them against the backdrop of longer-term trends, as laid out in our five-year review of public service broadcasting (PSB) published in February, part of our Small Screen: Big Debate review of public service media. Media Nations provides further evidence to inform this, as well as assessing the broader industry landscape. We have therefore dedicated two chapters of this report to analysis of Covid-19 media trends, and two chapters to wider market dynamics in key areas that are shaping the industry: • The consumer behaviour chapter examines the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on media consumption trends across television and online video, and radio and online audio.
