  • Independent Television Producers in England
    Negotiating Dependence: Independent Television Producers in England Karl Rawstrone A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries, University of the West of England, Bristol November 2020 77,900 words. Abstract The thesis analyses the independent television production sector focusing on the role of the producer. At its centre are four in-depth case studies which investigate the practices and contexts of the independent television producer in four different production cultures. The sample consists of a small self-owned company, a medium- sized family-owned company, a broadcaster-owned company and an independent- corporate partnership. The thesis contextualises these case studies through a history of four critical conjunctures in which the concept of ‘independence’ was debated and shifted in meaning, allowing the term to be operationalised to different ends. It gives particular attention to the birth of Channel 4 in 1982 and the subsequent rapid growth of an independent ‘sector’. Throughout, the thesis explores the tensions between the political, economic and social aims of independent television production and how these impact on the role of the producer. The thesis employs an empirical methodology to investigate the independent television producer’s role. It uses qualitative data, principally original interviews with both employers and employees in the four companies, to provide a nuanced and detailed analysis of the complexities of the producer’s role. Rather than independence, the thesis uses network analysis to argue that a television producer’s role is characterised by sets of negotiated dependencies, through which professional agency is exercised and professional identity constructed and performed.

    2 Television and audio-visual content 2 2.1 Recent developments in Scotland BBC Alba BBC Alba’s drama series, Bannan, returned in 2016 for a new series, having been re- commissioned for a further ten episodes in 2015, and it received a nomination in the drama series category at the Celtic Media Festival 2015. In March 2016 the Scottish Government announced £1m of funding for MG Alba for 2016/17. The UK Government withdrew £1m of funding, not renewing the annual grant from the Department of Culture, Media & Sport. In April 2016 MG Alba welcomed the commitment to Gaelic broadcasting in the BBC White Paper, which stated that the BBC should maintain its partnership with MG Alba. MG Alba moved from channel 8 to channel 7 on the Freeview EPG, following BBC Three’s move to an online platform. BBC Scotland BBC Scotland’s coverage of the 2015 General Election included results broadcast live from every count across the country, while Reporting Scotland remained the most-watched news programme in Scotland. The Investigations team covered a range of issues including fracking, and doping in sport, and Catch Me If You Can received the Sport Story of the Year Award at the 2015 British Journalism Awards. STV In March 2016 STV launched an enhanced digital news service tailored for Scottish viewers, including a mobile app, featuring bite-sized video reports on local, international, UK and other news from a Scottish viewpoint. Local TV STV Edinburgh and STV Glasgow joined forces to cover the Edinburgh Festival 2015 in a live one-hour show transmitting each weekday evening; this was shared with local TV stations across the UK.

  • Final Determination Annex 2: Channel Take-Up and Substitution
    BBC Scotland Competition Assessment Final Determination Annex 2: Channel Take-up and Substitution STATEMENT ANNEX Publication Date: 26 June 2018 BBC Scotland Competition Assessment – Final Determination Annex 2: Channel Take-up and Substitution A2. Channel Take-up and Substitution Introduction A2.1 In order to review the public value and assess the potential impact on fair and effective competition of the BBC’s proposal, we must first consider the audience that the new BBC Scotland channel is likely to attract. This Annex provides our assessment of the likely ’take- up’ of the BBC Scotland channel, i.e. the viewing hours the new channel is likely to attract in Scotland and the viewing share and audience reach it is likely to achieve.1 A2.2 The BBC’s proposal involves associated changes to existing BBC services, in particular BBC Two, BBC Four and CBBC HD in Scotland. We therefore also assess the effect on the viewing of BBC Two, BBC Four and CBBC in Scotland resulting from the BBC’s proposal. A2.3 We then identify the services most likely to be affected by the proposed new channel and the associated changes. We assess the potential audience substitution, including from existing BBC services and commercial services. A2.4 This Annex broadly reflects the assessment of take-up and substitution set out in our Consultation. Where relevant, we have set out the stakeholder views we received in response to our Consultation and how these, along with any further analysis, have influenced our assessment of take-up and substitution. In particular, we set out and respond to stakeholders’ views on: our take-up estimates for the new channel (paragraphs A2.104 to A2.135); and substitution from existing TV channels as a result of the BBC proposal (paragraphs A2.162 to A2.171).
