At Six O'clock Every Weekday, the Title Music Played And At six o’clock every weekday, the title music played and thousands of Cumbrians joined their ‘screen friends’ to hear what was happening in their area. It was as much a part of their everyday life as an early morning cuppa or looking for the Carlisle United score on a Saturday afternoon. But on February 25, 2009, that routine was shattered when Border TV ‘merged’ with Tyne Tees and Border’s flagship news programme Lookaround effectively disappeared from view. And with it went hundreds of viewers as well as the affection and trust of thousands of Cumbrians. Cumbria might not seem like the obvious case to be one of the first local television stations. But in fact it is perfect. Carlisle and the surrounding area is a classic example of an under-served part of the British media landscape. These are voters with no big city axis – 60 miles from Newcastle and 100 miles plus from the North West conurbation. It is Cumbria, separated by hills and valleys, torn by floods, overshadowed by a nuclear power station and on the border with a new Scottish administration, where a local television station could be of most value. Deprived of its ITV coverage, and perched on the edge of the BBC Manchester regional output (as daft as linking Devon to Bristol) this is an area where local businesses have no affordable TV outlet, where dramatic weather conditions can change peoples’ lives, where one-off horror stories like the shootings by Derrick Bird can dominate national headlines nevertheless, and where people deserve proper detailed coverage. Financially this won’t be an obvious proposition but the idea that a local television station could be funded for half a million pounds annually, has opened our eyes to the possibilities. We believe that with relaxed regulation and an imaginative approach to advertising revenue, this is do-able and we were delighted to see Carlisle on the DCMS map of potential stations. We believe that advertiser funded ‘biopics’ about local businesses, along with sponsored programming, could be of value both to businesses and to viewers. We also believe that a new and unique form of new classified ads and personal announcements could form a revenue stream. We believe in an integrated approach with young journalists and entrepreneurs providing expertise in shooting, editing, production, sales and management. The scope for local political coverage is immense, providing a voice for people who get little coverage elsewhere. Local TV for Carlisle is screaming to be done. The area has a strong proportion of high worth individuals with real commitment to the area (unlike in many other places where the rich move in to attractive properties but have no real commitment.) In Cumbria there are people who for generations have amassed relative wealth from agriculture, the haulage business, the energy industry and manufacturing, without moving on. It is an area with deep roots and with people who would be prepared to invest in local identity. At this stage our business plans are ‘work in progress’ to say the least. We don’t even know what form any local TV consortium would take. We are anxious to talk to anyone else who may have an interest, including Cumbrian Newspapers and Scottish neighbours. But we feel that it is vital to put a marker down for Carlisle being in the first 20 licenses. If the top twenty consist only of cities or major towns which already receiving a high proportion of BBC and ITV coverage, with their viability based purely (as in the Schott report) on the most obvious of local revenue sources, then the whole ethos of local television will be a huge disappointment. It should NOT be there to make money by serving those who already served – it should be there precisely for communities like the people of Cumbria who are hungry for their own media identity. The DCMS needs local TV of all types in the first 20 to prove the point that everyone has (where technically possible) an equal chance. Let Carlisle be the area that demonstrates that to the whole country! Background Since the demise of Border Television two years ago it has become abundantly clear that local or even sub- regional news and information is not what is being provided to the 2500,000 residents of Carlisle, Penrith, West Cumbria and its surrounding towns and villages. Many viewers who regularly tuned into Border’s nightly news programme, Lookaround, now never watch the ITV offering. This is in stark contrast to the Lookaround of the 1980s, when the 30 minute programme regularly made it into the region’s top ten (according to the BARB figures) beating off popular soaps like Coronation Street and Eastenders. It was not uncommon for the programme to achieve an audience share of more than 75%. These figures, which were unrivalled by any regional programme and were the envy of the ITV network, prove that the right balance of local news and events will attract, and maintain, viewers. One of the many strengths of Border’s Lookaround was the unique relationship the programme had with its viewers – it was their programme and the presenters were their friends, people they could trust to tell them what they needed to know, informative but at times reflecting the humour of the people. The on-screen faces were more than household names; they were people you knew so well you could stop them in the street for a chat. Or a row. This interactivity with the audience was used to great effect with phone-ins, studio guests, news-related competitions, and general audience participation. It also proved an invaluable source of news with many tip-offs about breaking news coming directly from viewers. This relationship would be re-created and enhanced using social media tools and the widespread existence of mobile phones and video cameras which were simply not as readily available as news gathering tools in the 1980’s and 90s. The area has a unique character and demographic mix, having little in common with its Scottish neighbours to the north, its big city cousins to the east, or even its Lancastrian-influenced towns and villages in the south. The people of Carlisle, West Cumbria and the Lake District form a loosely-bound unit, accounting for around 250,000 of the 500,000 population of Cumbria. The self-contained nature of the area, with many families living their entire lives with 20-30 miles of their place of birth, means there is a hunger for local news. The area provides a rich seam of news and local events – with the industrial belt of West Cumbria including the massive Sellafield nuclear plant; the tourist-laden, picturesque Lake District which inspires TV features at every turn; and the developing, yet historic, city of Carlisle at its apex.

  • The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998
    -iì~ '1,,J C.12 The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alison Preston Deparent of Film and Media Studies University of Stirling July 1999 Abstract This thesis examines and assesses the development of the UK television news industry during the period 1982-1998. Its aim is to ascertain the degree to which a market for television news has developed, how such a market operates, and how it coexists with the 'public service' goals of news provision. A major purpose of the research is to investigate whether 'the market' and 'public service' requirements have to be the conceptual polarities they are commonly supposed to be in much media academic analysis of the television news genre. It has conducted such an analysis through an examination of the development strategies ofthe major news organisations of the BBC, ITN and Sky News, and an assessment of the changes that have taken place to the structure of the news industry as a whole. It places these developments within the determining contexts of Government economic policy and broadcasting regulation. The research method employed was primarily that of the in-depth interview with television news management, politicians and regulators: in other words, those instrumental in directing the strategic development within the television news industry. Its main findings are that there has indeed been a development of market activity within the television news industry, but that the amount of this activity has been limited by the particular economic attributes of the television news product.

Such a change is likely to have a major impact on the TV broadcast coverage both in South Lakeland and in Cumbria. Recommendations (1) That the Council notes the report and formally offers its opposition to the proposed changes to Border TV news. (2) That the Leader of the Council writes to Ofcom, ITV and the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport expressing the Council’s opposition to the proposals. (3) That the Leader of the Council responds to Ofcom’s formal consultation on this issue, when it is announced. Report 1. News coverage from Border Television has been seen in this area for over 40 years. The audience figures for its regional news programme, Lookaround, show that it receives one of the highest ratings of any BBC or ITV region in the country (as a proportion of the population). 2. The programme is now under threat due to proposed changes outlined in September by ITV Chief Executive and Executive Chairman, Michael Grade. Nationally, ITV are looking to cut the number of regional news services from 17 to 9 in a bid to save up to £40m per year.

  • EPILOGUE “There Was a Lot of Heresy About”
    MG-EPILOGUE.qxd 19/04/2004 07:32 Page 1 EPILOGUE “There was a lot of heresy about” My attempt at telling the story of British breakfast television initially took the shape of a series of monthly articles published on www.offthetelly.co.uk in late 2000 and early 2001. Titled Morning Glory, the text spanned the period from the launch of Breakfast Time in January 1983 to The Big Breakfast’s fateful makeover in January 2001, ending with some idle speculation on just how much longer Channel 4 could feasibly carry on funding such a relentlessly calamitous early morning programme. Typically, within a few weeks of the final article appearing on-line, C4 confirmed it was wielding the axe and the search was on for The Big Breakfast’s replacement. There seemed no reason not to continue hoarding useful bits of breakfast telly news, gossip and quotes, especially as the possibility of pitching an expanded version of the original articles to assorted publishers had gained in appeal. One of the things that the on-line version of Morning Glory did not possess was primary source material; a longer, more comprehensive take on the history of breakfast television would necessarily require the assembly and presentation of just such a valuable commodity. There were already various events and revelations that research had turned up too late to go into the Off The Telly articles. Then there was the prospect of a looming anniversary: 2003 would be the 20th birthday of breakfast TV, and a neat hook on which to hang the premise of a full-length book.

  • Full Council 06/11/07 Item the Future of Border Television News
    FULL COUNCIL 06/11/07 ITEM THE FUTURE OF BORDER TELEVISION NEWS EXECUTIVE MEMBER: Cllr Elaine Woodburn, Leader LEAD OFFICER: Terry Chilcott, Corporate Director (Quality of Life) REPORT AUTHOR: Ian Curwen, Senior Communications Officer Summary: This report outlines the proposed changes to the provision of regional news on ITV1, which would see the Border TV news service submerged into that of ITV Tyne Tees. Such a change is likely to have a major impact on the coverage in this region. Recommendations: 1) That this council notes the report and formally offers its opposition to the proposed changes to Border TV news. 2) That, in consultation with the Leader of the Council, this council asks the Senior Communications Officer to write to OFCOM, ITV and the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport formally outlining this opposition. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 On 12 September 2007, ITV Plc announced proposed changes to regional TV news coverage in England, which would see the number of ITV regional bulletins reduced from 17 to nine, with a halving of news budgets. In Copeland, this would mean that Border TV news would be abolished, and our news would form an opt-out as part of the Tyne Tees news provision. The opt out is only guaranteed until 2014, at which point news services could be further reviewed. 1.2 Under Border Television’s current ‘Channel 3 Regional Licence’, at least 90% of their regional television coverage must be made within the Licensed Area, namely the Border Television region. 2. EFFECT OF PROPOSED CHANGES 2.1 Border Television’s news coverage, which has been seen in this area for over 40 years, is now under threat due to proposed changes outlined recently by ITV Chief Executive and Executive Chairman, Michael Grade.

  • Assessing the Likely Impact of ITV's Regional News Proposals
    Assessing the likely impact of ITV’s regional news proposals Final Report Prepared by Essential Research July 2008 1 1 Executive summary Background and context Ofcom is currently undertaking its 2008-09 review of Public Service Broadcasting. Alongside this review, ITV submitted proposals to Ofcom advocating revised national and regional services on ITV1 which it stated would achieve the savings required for it to make a new generation of sustainable regional services. Essential Research was commissioned to undertake deliberative research with respondents in ITV Regions likely to be affected by the proposals; the primary objective of the research was to assess the likely impact of ITV’s proposals for regional news provision on citizens and consumers. It is important to note that the deliberative research was designed to explore participants’ reactions to a version of ITV’s regional news proposals that ITV has subsequently modified. A deliberative approach was used as it required respondents to consider different perspectives from their own, to digest new, often complex information, and to discuss this with their peers before forming a judgment. Information was provided at key points throughout the sessions, either as briefing notes or presentations, paper surveys were also used to strengthen the weight of evidence. The deliberative method may be summarised as follows: Define ‘local’ Understand Understand and PSB, ITV that genres ‘regional’ Understand requirements, perceived as and debate ITV proposals diminishing socially importance and PSB benefit for important may of news implications for ITV, pressures be choice (intra own region on ITV revenue unprofitable & inter media) Deliberation Î Conclusions Recruitment and methodology Respondents were recruited on a balanced profile for each of the broadcast regions selected, with specific quotas placed on demographic characteristics, media platform ownership and consumption.
