We hope you find it useful. Enjoy this return of an old favourite: and set mediauk.com on your browser favourites list. James Cridland Managing Director Media UK First published in Great Britain in September 2011 Copyright © 1994-2011 Not At All Bad Ltd.

The year before I had listened with excitement to the launch of our local commercial station, Liverpool's Radio City, and wanted to find out what other stations I might be able to pick up. In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations.

  • Media Nations: UK 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.

As reported in Gem-A News and Views (page Spring 40), we have a lease renewal on our Greville Street premises which will lead to a thorough refurbishment — something which those of you who know the building will agree is much needed. This will provide an excellent opportunity to reinvigorate both our onsite teaching facilities and the services we can offer members. How can we afford this you may ask, when only a very few years 12 ago the Association was in poor health financially? The fact is that over the last few years we have run a very tight ship knowing we had these costs looming. We have focused on what we are good Contents at and the things which are the core aspects of our business. This has led to the ceasing of loss- making operations, such as the laboratory, and an increase in students and thus revenue from our education, though it must be qualified that this increase is from overseas rather than the UK.

No change is proposed to the target demographic of 35-59 year-olds, or to the station’s existing news and localness commitments. 1.3 A request for a Format change can be approved only if it satisfies at least one of the five criteria set out in section 106(1A) of the Broadcasting Act 1990 (as amended).
