  • ANNEX 6 COMMENTARY on the CONSULTATION DOCUMENT in This Annex 6 of Sky's Response We Provide a Non-Exhaustive List of the Erro
    NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION ANNEX 6 COMMENTARY ON THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT In this Annex 6 of Sky’s Response we provide a non-exhaustive list of the errors in Ofcom’s Consultation Document, which are not identified elsewhere in this Response. The significant number of errors, inaccuracies and misconceptions suggests that Ofcom has an inadequate understanding of the context in which pay TV services are provided in the UK and elsewhere. A proper appreciation of that context is an essential prerequisite to accurate analysis of the sector. Section 3 Overview of the UK pay TV market ¶ 3.13 “An estimated one million households also receive free-to-view digital satellite.” This appears to be Ofcom’s own estimate of the number of households who use a Sky set-top box to receive television services, but do not subscribe to Sky’s DTH pay TV services. (No source is provided for the estimate.) If this is the case Ofcom should note that the estimate of one million households is subject to a wide margin of error, being based, Sky understands, on an arbitrary assumption that a certain (constant) proportion of churners from Sky’s DTH pay TV services continue to use their set-top boxes to receive digital free to air television services. It is probable that the actual number of such households is substantially higher than this estimate. Moreover, this reference fails to note that all 8.8 million UK and ROI subscribers to Sky’s DTH pay TV service, and subscribers to other DTH pay TV services, also receive “free-to-view digital satellite”.

  • The Game Changing Twelth Player
    Game Changing Fans The 12th Player in every Premier League team in partnership with YouGov 2 | The Game Changing 12th Player Foreword Barclays have been lucky enough to be involved with football for over a hundred years through banking relationships with the FA, many of the clubs, and a long history of partnership with the Premier League – which today sees us as their Official Banking Partner. This longevity has given us the chance to see football from the commercial prospective but also in more recent years from the angle of the fans. The Premier League has captured the imagination of people around the world, those who might initially view football with interest but then, like many, become enamoured with a favourite player, then a team, until the trials and tribulations of being an avid follower dominates their weekends, and they become lifelong fans. Through our partnership with the Premier League we have always tried to celebrate those who support the game. This season we have delved deeper and launched our ‘Game Changing’ campaign that looks to celebrate and recognise those that really do make a difference; players, managers, volunteers and of course fans. This research, commissioned by Barclays and undertaken by YouGov, involves interviews with 4,039 fans from all the Premier League clubs, together with interviews with past Premier League players, broadcasters, academics and fan groups. The aim was to find out what difference fans make to teams; particularly at games but also supporting remotely or through the media (social and traditional). We have asked the question ‘Is there such a thing as the 12th player’ and we think we have gone some way to answering it.

  • LWT's Pioneering Technology
    LONDON WEEKEND TELEVISION’S PIONEERING TECHNOLOGY by Phil Nott ITV in London is 65 years old in 2020, remaining vital throughout a period of external pressures as well as the changing viewing habits of the population. In this article, I look at the birth and evolution of London Weekend Television, and at the role that technology played in developing its sport and drama output. The biggest change in ITV’s history came with the franchise renewal process of 1968. As a result, the franchisees for London were two new companies - Thames Television on weekdays and London Weekend Television at weekends. LWT was a pioneering and innovative TV company. Many of the changes it introduced still have an impact today, whereas the battle to get there gives us an insight into the politics and business practices of the time. David Frost photo: via wembleyparkstudios.co.uk The story starts in 1967. The main ITV franchise holders had enjoyed prosperity since the late 1950s, with constantly increasing advertising revenues driven by the march towards consumerism. ‘You’ve never had it so good’ Prime Minister Harold Macmillan claimed at the time. Rediffusion London, the London weekday ITV company, was the dominant company. Rival ATV was split between the Midlands in the week and London at the weekends. Granada in the North was a weekday franchise that had an amicable commercial relationship with Rediffusion in London. ABC TV was the weekend TV specialist, with the franchise for both the North and the Midlands at the weekend. Its commercial wrangles were mainly with the other weekend franchise contractor ATV in London.
