    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.

  • BBC Children's News and First-Run UK Originated Programmes
    BBC Children’s news and first-run UK originations Statement on the BBC’s request to change its Operating Licence [] Redacted for publication BBC Children’s news and first-run UK originations – Welsh overview STATEMENT: Publication Date: 28 July 2020 Contents Section 1. Overview 1 2. Background 4 3. Our decisions on changes to the Operating Licence 7 Annex A1. Comparison of current and revised Operating Licence conditions 50 A2. Notice of Variation 56 A3. Equality impact assessment 59 1. Overview This document explains Ofcom’s final decisions following a request by the BBC to change its Operating Licence to allow it to meet its news and new content commitments for children by increasing its online provision. This follows a consultation setting out our provisional views, which we published in November 2019. Our research shows that children are increasingly consuming content online, while the reach of linear television on the TV set among children is continuing to decline.1 In April-May 2020, during lockdown, linear viewing saw a resurgence among children, but it is already falling again.2 Given these changes, the BBC must innovate and adapt its approach in order to stay relevant to its youngest audiences. In Ofcom’s most recent Annual Report on the BBC3, we said that the BBC needs to work harder to reach young people by making content that appeals to them and ensuring that it is readily available where they want it. If younger audiences don’t engage with the BBC, then public support for the licence fee could be eroded, which is a significant risk to the future sustainability of the BBC.

The material must be acknowledged as BBC copyright and the document title specified. Where third party material has been identified, permission from the respective copyright holder must be sought BBC Trust response to Mediatique’s value for money study: the BBC’s distribution arrangements for its UK Public Services Introduction The BBC exists to educate, inform and entertain through a broad range of high quality programmes and services on TV, Radio and Online. It is also tasked with distributing this content to audiences across the country in ways that are convenient to them. In 2012-13 the cost of these distribution arrangements was £233million or 6.5 percent of the licence fee. The BBC Trust exists to maximise the value audiences receive in return for the licence fee. To help it do this, the Trust commissioned Mediatique to carry out a value for money review of the BBC’s distribution arrangements in the UK. This is one of a number of value for money reports received by the Trust from various organisations, including the NAO, all of which help the Trust to identify ways to improve the way the BBC is run.

  • Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society. If you are in production or development and would like other ideas for diverse presenters across all genres please feel free to get in touch with Mary Fitzpatrick Editorial Executive, Diversity via email: [email protected] Diverse On Screen Talent Directory Presenter Biographies Biographies Ace and Invisible Presenters, 1Xtra Category: 1Xtra Agent: Insanity Artists Agency Limited T: 020 7927 6222 W: www.insanityartists.co.uk 1Xtra's lunchtime DJs Ace and Invisible are on a high - the two 22-year-olds scooped the gold award for Daily Music Show of the Year at the 2004 Sony Radio Academy Awards.
