  • The Bbc Trust Report: On-Screen and On-Air Talent Including an Independent Assessment and Report by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates
    THE BBC TRUST REPORT: ON-SCREEN AND ON-AIR TALENT INCLUDING AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT AND REPORT BY OLIVER & OHLBAUM ASSOCIATES MAY 2008 2 BBC TRUST CONCLUSIONS The issue of talent costs The BBC Trust operates to protect the interests of licence fee payers who pay for and own the BBC. As part of this we seek to ensure quality and value for money for licence fee payers and to challenge BBC management to use everything at their disposal to deliver both. An area where this is particularly complex is the salaries paid to on-screen and on-air talent. During the course of 2006, press reports about presenters’ salaries aroused industry and public concern and led some people to question the BBC’s approach to the talent it employs. This debate was still live when the Trust was established as the BBC’s governing body in January 2007. It was and has remained a topic raised by the public with Trustees during our appearances on radio phone-ins and at public meetings in all parts of the UK. Against this background the Trust commissioned an independent review, conducted by Oliver and Ohlbaum Associates Ltd (O&O), to provide an in depth examination of the BBC’s use of on air and on screen talent. We posed O&O three specific questions: • How do the size and structure of the BBC's reward packages for talent compare with the rest of the market? • What has been the impact of the BBC's policy on the talent market, particularly in relation to cost inflation? • To what extent do the BBC's policy and processes in relation to investment in, and reward of, talent support value for money? We are publishing O&O’s report which seeks to answer these questions, the BBC management’s response to the points it raises and our own judgements informed by this evidence.

Facial Motion Analysis using Clustered Shortest Path Tree Registration David Cristinacce and Tim Cootes Dept. Imaging Science and Biomedical Engineering University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PT, U.K. [email protected] Abstract. We describe a method of automatically annotating video se- quences, de¯ning a set of corresponding points in every frame. This is an important pre-processing step for many motion analysis systems. Rather than tracking feature points through the sequence, we treat the problem as one of `groupwise registration', in which we seek to ¯nd the corre- spondence between every image and an automatically computed model reference, ignoring the ordering of frames. The main contribution of this work is to demonstrate a method of clustering the frames and construct- ing a shortest path tree over the clusters.

    CHANGING CHANNELS The global broadcast industry has been going through a revolution – and the lockdowns have accelerated that process. David Prosser looks at the role M&A is playing in reshaping the way programmes are delivered and consumed ritish television viewers of a certain age will recall OTT fondly (or maybe not). An B anarchic 1980s late-night version of the popular ITV children’s show Tiswas, it cemented the star status of presenters Chris Tarrant and Lenny Henry, and disrupted conventional thinking about scripted content and the boundaries between TV for kids and adults. Four decades later, the term OTT (over the top) has become synonymous with disruption in the global broadcasting industry of an altogether greater magnitude. The rapid growth of OTT media services in recent years – particularly their acceleration during the COVID-19 pandemic – has turned business models across broadcasting on their heads. It has also prompted a wave of M&A transactions. Critically, OTT services – Netfl ix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Hulu, for example – bypass the platforms that have traditionally controlled distribution of television content.
