  • MG ALBA Response to 'Provisional Determination', P2-3
    Reply to Consultation on Ofcom’s provisional determination on the proposed new BBC Scotland channel We are grateful for the opportunity to respond to the consultation on Ofcom’s provisional determination. Key Points BBC ALBA is a minority language channel, broadcasting in standard definition across the UK on an annual content budget of £16.4m1. In addition to being a channel that competes on merit to attract the viewership of over 10% of adults in Scotland each week, it creates value for speakers and learners of Gaelic and plays a major role in the fulfilment of public policy objectives for Gaelic, culture and economy. The new BBC Scotland channel will undoubtedly have an impact on BBC ALBA. It will target broadly the same viewers as BBC ALBA with a content budget double that of BBC ALBA and, as announced recently by the BBC, with carriage in High Definition (HD). This is not a level playing field. We have three principal concerns: 1. The research and the conclusions drawn from it, insofar as they relate to BBC ALBA, are hedged around by uncertainty; 2. The approach taken to public value, insofar as it relates to BBC ALBA, appears not to give weight to the citizenship, public policy and language aspects of Gaelic broadcasting; and 3. There appears to be an assumption that it will be the responsibility of the Scottish Government to provide additional funding to BBC ALBA should the new BBC Scotland channel cause cost inflation. MG ALBA does not stand in the way of the new channel. However, we ask Ofcom to ensure that conditions, and related monitoring arrangements, are put in place to ensure that the new BBC Scotland will not cause detriment to Gaelic language television broadcasting or, if it does, that the BBC will undertake to make good that detriment.

Notes on the data • PSB Channels – Where possible data has been provided for BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1, ITV Breakfast, Channel 4, Channel 5 and the BBC’s PSB digital channels: BBC Three, BBC Four, CBBC, Cbeebies, BBC News and BBC Parliament. BBC HD has been excluded from much of the analysis in the report as much of its output is simulcast from the core BBC channels and therefore would represent a disproportionate amount of broadcast hours and spend. Please refer to individual footnotes and chart details indicating when a smaller group of these channels is reported on. ITV1 includes GMTV1 unless otherwise stated. Data for S4C is shown in a separate section, apart from S4C’s children’s output which is included within the children’s section of the report.

  • Broadcasting Sector Report
    Broadcasting Sector Report 1. This is a report for the House of Commons Committee on Exiting the European Union following the motion passed at the Opposition Day debate on 1 November, which called on the Government to provide the Committee with impact assessments arising from the sectoral analysis it has conducted with regards to the list of 58 sectors referred to in the answer of 26 June 2017 to Question 239. 2. As the Government has already made clear, it is not the case that 58 sectoral impact assessments exist. The Government’s sectoral analysis is a wide mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis contained in a range of documents developed at different times since the referendum. This report brings together information about the sector in a way that is accessible and informative. Some reports aggregate some sectors in order to either avoid repetition of information or because of the strong interlinkages between some of these sectors. 3. This report covers: a description of the sector, the current EU regulatory regime, existing frameworks for how trade is facilitated between countries in this sector, and sector views. It does not contain commercially-, market- or negotiation-sensitive information. Description of sector Scope 4. The broadcasting sector covers the production of audiovisual or audio (radio) content and its distribution, which is subject to the framework of regulation overseen by Ofcom (or, for TV stations based elsewhere in the European Economic Area (EEA), by another EEA regulator). 5. This report primarily covers linear (or live) visual broadcasting services (digital TV, live streaming, webcasting, near video-on-demand) and non-linear services (video on demand services such as the BBC iPlayer, All4, etc, or subscription video on demand services such as Netflix).

  • Running Head: SPORTS COVERAGE on BBC ALBA 1 Sports Coverage
    Running head: SPORTS COVERAGE ON BBC ALBA 1 Sports Coverage on BBC ALBA: Content, Value and Position in the Scottish Broadcasting Landscape Xavier Ramon Vegas and Richard Haynes Published Online First: Communication and Sport 29 January 2018 Abstract Through a mixed-method approach, we examine the sports programming offered by BBC ALBA between 2008 and 2016 and identify the value that the channel creates in Scotland through its diverse sports portfolio. In an increasingly cluttered and complex scenario where pay TV giants Sky and BT hold a plethora of top-tier rights and BBC Scotland and STV cannot fit more sport into their schedules, BBC ALBA serves Gaelic-speaking and national audiences with a regular diet of quality sports programming. Beyond being instrumental to filling schedules, sports content has been a gateway for Gaelic, a key driver of BBC ALBA’s investment in the creative sector and a contributor to the development of grassroots sport in Scotland. However, the financial situation under which the channel operates makes it very difficult to sustain and improve its current position. This case study demonstrates that sport broadcasting offers genuine opportunities to maintain linguistic and cultural diversity in small nations, even in a context characterized by escalating competition, dwindling resources and the proliferation of multiple viewing portals.
