    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.

    PRESS RELEASE – EMBARGOED 00.01 2 February 2012 Year-on-Year growth for Smooth Radio UK and Real Radio brand Almost 5.6 million adults tune into a GMG Radio station each week – an extra 376,000 (YonY) Smooth Radio’s digital audience approaches 1 million adults each week GMG Radio’s Smooth Radio and Real Radio brands have recorded impressive year-on- year growth, according to the latest audience research out today (Thursday). 5.6 million adults now tune into one of the group’s stations each week - 376,000 more than a year ago. Smooth Radio UK’s weekly reach now stands at over 3.3 million adult listeners a week, up 231,000 on the same time last year. The audience also likes what they hear, with total hours listened to the station now standing at 25.75 million - almost two million (1.88m) more than a year ago – making it the UK’s second most listened to national commercial radio station. Simon Bates at Breakfast is celebrating his first year on Smooth Radio and has grown the breakfast audience by 69,000 to almost 1.4 million a week (YoY). For the group’s Real Radio brand the audience growth trend is also upwards. The stations, which broadcast on FM in Wales, Scotland, the North East and North West of England and Yorkshire and digitally across the UK, have added a total of 164,000 new adult listeners in the last year to give them a new weekly reach of just over 2.5 million adults.

    Response to Ofcom Consultation on the Future of Public Service Media

    Response to Ofcom Consultation on the Future of Public Service Media About this submission 1. AudioUK is the trade body for the audio-led production sector in the UK. AudioUK has four core priorities: Business; Representation; Community; and Excellence. As well as producing the annual Audio Production Awards it also runs the successful Audiotrain craft skills training programme, which has so far provided around 2,500 learner days. AudioUK, along with Radiocentre, oversees the administration of the Audio Content Fund which distributes a grant from the UK government to fund public service content on commercial and community radio. As a member of the Government Broadcasting, Film and Production Working Group, AudioUK has produced guidelines for safe working in audio production during the COVID-19 pandemic. 2. We recognise and agree with Ofcom’s reasoning for changing the language around PSB. We believe ‘Public Service Media’ is a better term to describe the content produced, partly to reflect the wider range of media created, as well as the manner in which it is distributed. 3. However, we do here refer to ‘public service broadcasters’ (‘PSBs’) to differentiate between the licenced PSBs – BBC, ITV/STV, Channel 4, S4C, Channel 5 - and other broadcasters also providing content which is officially designated PSM content – the main example being commercial and community stations broadcasting programmes funded by the Audio Content Fund. Audio as part of public service media 4. The UK has a thriving audio content production industry with an independent sector made up of around 200 companies around the UK. These companies create compelling content across a wide range of genres which engages audiences and offers them different voices, perspectives, talent and ideas.

    GMG Radio Response to the Ofcom Consultation on Review of Procedures for Handling Broadcasting Complaints, Investigations and Sanctions

    GMG Radio response to the Ofcom consultation on review of procedures for handling broadcasting complaints, investigations and sanctions Introduction GMG Radio plc is part of The Guardian Media Group and operates fourteen analogue licences within the UK under the separate Real, Smooth and Rock Radio brands. The company was an inaugural partner and is currently a 35% shareholder in the MXR regional multiplex consortium as well as being a long-term service provider on each of its platforms. GMG Radio is also a founding partner and stakeholder in Digital Radio UK, the body charged with helping prepare the UK for digital switchover. GMG Radio considers regulatory compliance to be a hugely important and crucial element to our overall business operation and welcomes proposals which are genuinely designed to assist in improving standards and enhance understanding of regulatory procedures. We note this consultation seeks stakeholder views on proposed changes to procedures as opposed to responses to specific questions. Current understanding Ofcom has no wish to dilute the current process by which it can diligently follow when investigating breaches of broadcast licences, investigating complaints including those on fairness and privacy issues and the consideration of statutory sanctions for proven breaches. As such this consultation is specifically placed within the public arena in order to enlist stakeholder opinions on planned changes which are ultimately designed to ensure an ongoing commitment to the principles of continued fairness to those directly involved and at the same time introduce new procedures which are clearer, simpler and can be implemented as effectively and efficiently as possible. The consultation documents sets out proposals for new procedures covering the handling of broadcasting complaints, investigations and sanctions and it invites written views and comments on each of them prior to the publishing of a finalized version.

    A Distinctive BBC

    A distinctive BBC April 2016 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword 1. Executive Summary 2. What is distinctiveness 3. Measuring distinctiveness today – what the audience thinks 4. Measuring distinctiveness today – comparisons to other services 5. Enhancing distinctiveness in the future 2 FOREWORD I believe that the case for the BBC is a very straightforward, pragmatic one. We have produced, and continue to produce, some of the very best programmes and services in the world. That is why people like the BBC. That is why they enjoy it. That is why they trust it. That is why they value it. That is what they pay us to do. If the BBC stands for anything, it stands for quality. In just the last month, we have seen Panorama’s exposé of the Panama Papers; Radio 4’s previously unseen footage of Kim Philby speaking to the Stasi; the domestic abuse storyline on The Archers; Inside Obama’s White House and Behind Closed Doors; The Night Manager, Undercover and Cuckoo. We have just launched the 2016 BBC Proms. And those are just a few highlights. This is the BBC I believe in. A beacon of cultural excellence in a world increasingly awash with media of all kinds. A trusted voice in a crowded arena, accountable to the public and focused on their interests, independent of both government and market. A benchmark of quality. But the unique way the BBC is funded places two further obligations on us. Because the BBC’s funding is independent, that gives us creative freedom. That means a BBC that must be more prepared than ever to take risks.

    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 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.
