  • Researching Digital on Screen Graphics Executive Sum M Ary
    Researching Digital On Screen Graphics Executive Sum m ary Background In Spring 2010, the BBC commissioned independent market research company, Ipsos MediaCT to conduct research into what the general public, across the UK thought of Digital On Screen Graphics (DOGs) – the channel logos that are often in the corner of the TV screen. The research was conducted between 5th and 11th March, with a representative sample of 1,031 adults aged 15+. The research was conducted by interviewers in-home, using the Ipsos MORI Omnibus. The key findings from the research can be found below. Key Findings Do viewers notice DOGs? As one of our first questions we split our sample into random halves and showed both halves a typical image that they would see on TV. One was a very busy image, with a DOG present in the top left corner, the other image had much less going on, again with the DOG in the top left corner. We asked respondents what the first thing they noticed was, and then we asked what they second thing they noticed was. It was clear from the results that the DOGs did not tend to stand out on screen, with only 12% of those presented with the ‘less busy’ screen picking out the DOG (and even fewer, 7%, amongst those who saw the busy screen). Even when we had pointed out DOGs and talked to respondents specifically about them, 59% agreed that they ‘tend not to notice the logos’, with females and viewers over 55, the least likely to notice them according to our survey.

  • BFI Film Fund on Behalf of the British Film Institute
    House of Lords Select Committee on Communications Inquiry into the Sustainability of Channel 4 Submission from Ben Roberts, Director BFI Film Fund on behalf of the British Film Institute Summary 1. In 2011 the BFI became the lead organisation for film in the UK. It is now a Government arm’s- length body and a distributor of Lottery funds for film. 2. Our mission is to ensure that film is central to our cultural life, in particular by supporting and nurturing the next generation of filmmakers and audiences. The BFI serves a public role which covers the cultural, creative and economic aspects of film in the UK. 3. Both the BFI and its precursor as distributor of National Lottery funding, the UK Film Council, have worked hand in hand with Channel 4, specifically its Film4 division, to invest in and support British independent film with an excellent track record in talent development and commercial, breakout successes. 4. Our response to the Select Committee focuses on C4C’s engagement with film, and associated moving image content including high end TV drama (defined under the High-end Television Tax Relief rules as having a minimum core expenditure of £1m per broadcast hour) with some focus on recent changes in approach at Film4. We have not commented on C4C’s broader remit, merely its relevance to, and impact on, the British independent film sector. 5. In the BFI’s view: • We recognise the increasing financial pressures placed on C4C as a result of shifts in consumer behaviour and technological change and the associated pressure to become sustainable.

  • Appointment Brief Appointment of Non-Executive Directors
    Classification: CONFIDENTIAL Appointment brief Appointment of non-executive directors 2021 Reference: QAYZF Classification: CONFIDENTIAL SB An introduction Channel Four Television Corporation (C4C) is a publicly owned and commercially funded UK public service broadcaster, with a statutory remit to deliver high- quality, innovative, alternative content that challenges the status quo. C4C is a high-profile broadcaster transmitting across the whole of the UK and available on all digital platforms. C4C operates a number of services, including the free-to-air digital TV channels E4, More4, 4Music, Film4 and 4seven, and All 4, Channel 4's free ad-funded video-on-demand service. Film4 production co-produces feature films for the UK and global markets. C4C was set up by the government with a unique model and remit that aims to stimulate the independent production sector, drive innovation in broadcasting and to commission programmes that showcase the UK in all of its diversity and to stimulate debate. The remit applies across all genres and services and, in addition, C4C must meet a set of specific quantitative licence obligations set and monitored by Ofcom for news and current affairs, original production, regional production, sub-titling and audio description services. The annual Statement of Media Content Policy, published in the annual report and accounts, is the mechanism whereby C4C reports on, and Ofcom assesses, the delivery of the remit. C4C operates a cross funding business model, balancing commercially more challenging genres such as original drama and news and current affairs with more profitable programming such as factual entertainment. As a publisher-broadcaster, C4C does not produce its own programmes but commissions them from a large number and wide range of creative partners across the UK.
