  • Ofcom Censures London Live Over David Icke Interview – Deadline.Pdf
    4/20/2020 Ofcom Censures London Live Over David Icke Interview – Deadline London Real/YouTube The UK’s media regulator Ofcom has censured local TV channel London Live after it broadcast an 80-minute interview with David Icke, in which the notorious conspiracy theorist made baseless claims about coronavirus. On April 8, London Live aired London Real: COVID-19 an edited version of an interview Icke did with YouTube channel London Real in March on the coronavirus crisis. During the exchange with presenter Brian Rose, a largely unchallenged Icke set out his wild theory that the pandemic is part of a plot by technocrats to destroy the global economy and impose mass surveillance on society. The interview prompted 48 complaints and Ofcom launched an urgent investigation into the matter to establish whether London Live broke strict broadcasting standards in the UK. Ofcom today has concluded that London Real: COVID-19 represented a “serious” breach of its Broadcasting Code and is now considering sanctions (up to an including a fine) against the broadcaster, which is owned by Russian billionaire Evgeny Lebedev. In its assessment, Ofcom said Icke “was allowed to set out his highly controversial and unsubstantiated views on the coronavirus and the public policy response to it in significant detail with very little challenge or context.” It added Icke’s views “had the potential to undermine confidence in the motives of public authorities for introducing restrictions and therefore discourage viewers from following current official rules around social distancing.” In short, Ofcom concluded that this might have caused “significant harm to viewers,” given the virus has killed more than 16,000 people in the UK and the lockdown currently is the most effective weapon for keeping it in check.

  • 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.

    Delivering Quality First in Northern Ireland DELIVERING QUALITY FIRST IN NORTHERN IRELAND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The BBC in Northern Ireland aims to bring the highest quality, most distinctive programmes and services to local audiences, reflecting the diversity of its cultures, communities and languages, and informing, educating and entertaining all its citizens. Our ambition is to deliver content driven by the unique needs of our local audiences, fulfilling the BBC’s public purposes within the context of political, economic and social change in Northern Ireland. The capacity to evaluate and reflect a Northern Ireland society during this period of significant transformation is at the heart of our proposition. Northern Ireland-specific output such as BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle is extremely popular and highly distinctive. On television, BBC Newsline and the current affairs programme Spotlight combine with live sports coverage and a wide range of non-news programming such as The Estate, Belfast Blitz and House of the Year to deliver significant value to local audiences. In the first quarter of 2011, ten of BBC One Northern Ireland’s top twenty programmes were locally made Northern Ireland programmes. Within a very competitive television news market, the BBC’s television news specifically for Northern Ireland audiences (BBC Newsline) is highly trusted and valued by our audience. When the BBC’s programmes for Northern Ireland audiences opt into the BBC One and BBC Two network schedules, they consistently add to the overall channel performance. BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle reaches on average almost 38% of the Northern Ireland adult population each week – amongst the highest reach of all of the BBC’s national and local radio services.

  • Radiocentre's Response to the BBC Trust Review of the BBC's National Radio Stations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
    RadioCentre’s response to the BBC Trust review of the BBC’s national radio stations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales 1. Executive summary 1.1. We welcome the fact that a significant degree of scrutiny is being applied to the BBC Nations services, via the BBC Trust’s ongoing service licence review process. The Nations services were largely overlooked during the 2010 BBC Strategy Review process – we considered this to be unfortunate given the relatively high level of licence fee funding invested in them, their potential market impact, and - most importantly - their disproportionate political and social importance. 1.2. The BBC’s radio services in the Nations – BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle (Northern Ireland), BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio nan Gàidheal (Scotland), BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru (Wales) – should embody the ideals of public service broadcasting: that is, providing distinctive, high quality, informative speech content that adds significant value to the body politic. 1.3. We believe that the BBC’s Nations services do largely fulfil this role. However, aspects of these services fail to meet such high standards, in the following areas: ‐ Music/speech output. The service licences of the English language Nations services state that they should be ‘speech-led’, yet they all broadcast a significant amount of music during daytime. We believe that the service licences of all English language BBC Nations services should be amended, to require them to broadcast 100% speech during daytime. ‐ Audience profile. The English language Nations services currently lack a target age demographic. We believe that all BBC Radio service licences should contain a specific target age range, in order to ensure maximisation of public value and avoid duplication with the commercial sector.
