  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

    Valuing Radio How commercial radio contributes to the UK A report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Commercial Radio The data within Valuing Radio is largely drawn from a 2018 survey of Radiocentre members. It is supplemented by additional research which is sourced individually. Contents 01 Introduction 03 Overview and recommendations 05 The public value of commercial radio • News and information • Economic value • Charity and community 21 Commercial radio people 27 Future of radio Introduction The APPG on Commercial Radio helps provide this important industry with a voice in parliament. With record audiences and more ways to listen than ever before, the impact of the industry should not be underestimated. While the challenges facing the sector have changed over the years, the steadfast commitment of stations to provide public value content every day remains. This new report, the first of its kind produced by the APPG, showcases the rich public value content that commercial radio provides to listeners for free. Valuing Radio explores the impact made by stations up and down the country, over and above the music and entertainment output that audiences expect. It looks particularly at radio’s role in providing news and information, the sector’s significant support for both charitable fundraising and education, in addition to work to improve diversity within the industry. Alongside this important public value content is a significant economic contribution to local economies across the UK. For the first time we have analysis on the impact of local advertising and the return on investment (ROI) that this generates for particular nations and regions of the UK.

The report reviews key trends in the television and audio-visual sector as well as the radio and audio industry in Wales. It provides context to the work Ofcom undertakes in furthering the interests of consumers and citizens in the markets we regulate. In addition to this Wales report, there are separate reports for the UK as a whole, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, as well as an interactive data report. The report provides updates on several datasets, including bespoke data collected directly from licensed television and radio broadcasters (for output, spend and revenue in 2018), Ofcom’s proprietary consumer research (for audience opinions), and BARB and RAJAR (for audience consumption). It should be noted that our regulatory powers do not permit us to collect data directly from online video-on-demand and video-sharing services (such as ITV Player, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube) for research purposes, and therefore we also use third-party sources for information relating to these services. 1 Contents Overview............................................................................................................ 2 Key points .......................................................................................................... 3 TV services and devices...................................................................................... 5 Screen viewing ..................................................................................................

  • Capital Birmingham Should Not Be Allowed to Make the Changes to The
    Spence, Mr Consultation question: Should regional radio station Capital FM (Birmingham) be permitted to make the changes to its Character of Service as proposed with particular regard to the statutory criteria as set out in the summary? (The Broadcasting Act 1990 Section 106 (1A) (b) and (d) relating to Format changes). Capital Birmingham should not be allowed to make the changes to the Character of Service as this would essentially change the station from am urban/black music station to a hit music station format which can potentially stop playing urban music if they wanted to if in the future it becomes less mainstream. The format change represents a real danger to the radio landscape in Birmingham as it can so significantly reduce the choice of music available in the area over time. It will make the station sound too similar to it's main competitors in the area on FM. I am not happy with the decision in particular to remove the commitment to listeners of African or Afro-Caribbean origin in terms of content and music. I do not believe the music output of Capital Birmingham should be allowed to be aligned to that of Yorkshire or London without a readvertisement of the license as the change requested is far too significant. I believe that the format must retain the words 'URBAN CONTEMPORARY BLACK MUSIC' and 'REGGAE, RnB AND HIP HOP' in order to be an acceptable request. The new requested format is already provided in much better quality by BBC Radio 1. I am not happy with the way the station has been allowed to gradually change from Choice FM in the mid 90s to the present day Capital FM with such a dramatic change in music output despite only slight changes to the official OFCOM agreed station format, while Choice London and Capital FM co-exist in London providing 2 very different sounding services.
