Ofcom research OMC 2014 Plenary Panel: UK content, where is real growth coming from?

Key points

• Figure 4 shows that although not designated PSB channels, £91m was spent on first-run originated programmes broadcast by the commercial PSBs on their digital portfolio channels in 2012, down 4.2% (or £4m) over five years in real terms.

• We do not collect comparable figures for the multichannels. According to COBA’s 2012 Economic Impact Report, its members spent £0.5bn on first-run originated commissions in 2011. This represents an increase of 27% on the previous year. According to COBA, spend by its members in 2012 on first-run originated commissions was an estimated £0.5bn.

• Figure 5 shows that in line with the marginal increase in spend by the PSBs on first-run originated content year on year (see Figure 1), hours of first-run programming increased in 2012 by 187 hours; from 32,167 to 32,354 in 2012. All of this increase was driven by the BBC, which increased first-run hours by 320 hours, while the commercial PSBs combined (ITV/ITV Breakfast, Channel 4 and Channel 5) saw a decline of 133 hours.
