Foreword Deloitte’s Media Metrics identifies and ranks the UK’s top 100 media and entertainment companies by scale. It is the definitive media power list for the UK today. We have analysed audited data on the 100 largest media and entertainment companies in the UK. Collectively they generate £87bn in annual revenue. We project they will break the £100bn level within the next five years. This is a transformative period for the media and entertainment industry. In a year when the fundamental purpose of the BBC was challenged, when physical book sales in the UK actually rose against expectations, when the Independent became the first national newspaper to move completely online, and when half of the world’s top 10 ten best-selling music artists were from the UK, we can see waves of change washing over many different media and entertainment sectors.
