  • Which of the Three Options Do Consultees Favour, and Why?
    Question 1: Which of the three options do consultees favour, and why?: Option 2 - an increase to 20% audio description on all channels. Question 2: Do consultees have any further suggestions for future access service provision? If so please provide the rationale for these suggestions: As a blind person who enjoys audio description at home, I have three key suggestions: 1: movies -- films and longform drama are probably the most difficult genres to follow as they are least likely to have a running spoken narrative. News and documentaries tend to be easier to follow by dint of an accompanying voiceover, providing a clearer audio narrative which holds the hand of the non-sighted viewer from start to end. Films - with their noisy car chases, long periods of silence, smoldering looks between characters and expensively shot very visual sequences - tend to have been crafted by the director to minimise dialogue and to play the narrative out more effectively with images. They have the budget to do so and they do it. It appeals to a wider audience and, as such, tends to be economical with words. I'd like to suggest that channels which show movies and drama as a big part of their output - Sky Movies, FilmFour, ITV3, Virgin One, Sky One FX for example - ought to weight their AD towards this. I'd like to suggest 20% of all programmes be described ... but 75% of all movies with broadcast start times between 5pm and 10pm . They can make up a big part of a broadcaster's evening schedule and as such greater provision should be made.

    International In-house Counsel Journal Vol. 11, No. 41, Autumn 2017, 1 The Future is Cordless: How the Cordless Future will Impact Traditional Television SABRINA JO LEWIS Director of Business Affairs, Paramount Television, USA Introduction A cord-cutter is a person who cancels a paid television subscription or landline phone connection for an alternative Internet-based or wireless service. Cord-cutting is the result of competitive new media platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, iTunes and YouTube. As new media platforms continue to expand and dominate the industry, more consumers are prepared to cut cords to save money. Online television platforms offer consumers customized content with no annual contract for a fraction of the price. As a result, since 2012, nearly 8 million United States households have cut cords, according to Wall Street research firm MoffettNathanson.1 One out of seven Americans has cut the cord.2 Nielsen started counting internet-based cable-like service subscribers at the start of 2017 and their data shows that such services have at least 1.3 million customers and are still growing.3 The three most popular subscription video-on-demand (“SVOD”) providers are Netflix, Amazon Prime and HULU Plus. According to Entertainment Merchants Association’s annual industry report, 72% of households with broadband subscribe to an SVOD service.4 During a recent interview on CNBC, Corey Barrett, a senior media analyst at M Science, explained that Hulu, not Netflix, appears to be driving the recent increase in cord-cutting, meaning cord-cutting was most pronounced among Hulu subscribers.5 Some consumers may decide not to cut cords because of sports programming or the inability to watch live programing on new media platforms.

  • The Streaming Wars+: an Analysis of Anticompetitive Business Practices in Streaming Business
    UCLA UCLA Entertainment Law Review Title The Streaming Wars+: An Analysis of Anticompetitive Business Practices in Streaming Business Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8m05g3fd Journal UCLA Entertainment Law Review, 28(1) ISSN 1073-2896 Author Pakula, Olivia Publication Date 2021 DOI 10.5070/LR828153859 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California THE STREAMING WARS+: An Analysis of Anticompetitive Business Practices in Streaming Business Olivia Pakula* Abstract The recent rise of streaming platforms currently benefits consumers with quality content offerings at free or at relatively low cost. However, as these companies’ market power expands through vertical integration, current anti- trust laws may be insufficient to protect consumers from potential longterm harms, such as increased prices, lower quality and variety of content, or erosion of data privacy. It is paramount to determining whether streaming services engage in anticompetitive business practices to protect both competition and consumers. Though streaming companies do not violate existing antitrust laws because consumers are not presently harmed, this Comment thus explores whether streaming companies are engaging in aggressive business practices with the potential to harm consumers. The oligopolistic streaming industry is combined with enormous barriers to entry, practices of predatory pricing, imperfect price discrimination, bundling, disfavoring of competitors on their platforms, huge talent buyouts, and nontransparent use of consumer data, which may be reason for concern. This Comment will examine the history of the entertainment industry and antitrust laws to discern where the current business practices of the streaming companies fit into the antitrust analysis. This Comment then considers potential solutions to antitrust concerns such as increasing enforcement, reforming the consumer welfare standard, public util- ity regulation, prophylactic bans on vertical integration, divestiture, and fines.

  • La Maitrise Du Streaming, Un Nouvel Enjeu De Taille Pour Les Groupes Médias
    La maitrise du streaming, un nouvel enjeu de taille pour les groupes médias Walt Disney Company a annoncé l’acquisition de 33% du capital de BAM Tech, société indépendante spécialisée dans les technologies de streaming vidéo, née au sein de MLB Advanced Media, une division de la Major League Baseball. Il s’agit de la dernière opération en date de rapprochement entre un acteur des contenus et un prestataire technologique devenu incontournable au moment où les services OTT de streaming en direct se multiplient. • BAM Tech passe du Baseball à l’univers Disney Walt Disney Company a annoncé l’acquisition de 33% du capital de BAM Tech, société indépendante spécialisée dans les technologies de streaming vidéo, née au sein de MLB Advanced Media, une division de la Major League Baseball créée en 2000 pour le lancement de MLB.TV qui diffuse en ligne les compétitions de la League. MLBAM reste la copropriété des 30 principales équipes de Baseball professionnel. L’opération valorise BAM Tech à hauteur de à 3,5 milliards de dollars. Et Disney disposerait également d’une option de 4 ans pour acquérir 33% supplémentaires. MLBAM a pris une autonomie croissante pour s’émanciper de l’univers du Baseball (applications MLB.TV) et plus globalement du sport U.S jusqu’à accorder son indépendance à BAM Tech, son entité opérationnelle en août 2015. Celle-ci est désormais devenue un prestataire de service majeur pour les grands networks et autres propriétaires de contenus. Ainsi, BAM Tech a réussi à se diversifier en gérant le streaming de HBO Now et PlayStation Vue après avoir fait ses preuves au sein de MLBAM dans le sport en direct via des plates- formes en marque blanche (WatchESPN, WWE Network, Yankee’s Yes Network, PGA Tour Live, les sites et applications de la NHL ou encore 120 sports et Ice Network, spécialiste des sports de glisse).

  • Sandford St Martin Trust
    Submission to the BBC Charter Review Consultation Submitted by the Rt Rev Nicholas Baines, Bishop of Leeds Chair of the Sandford St Martin Trust E-mail: [email protected] “Good broadcasting about religion matters – in fact, it matters more than ever before.” Edward Stourton, presenter, 'Sunday', BBC Radio 4. “My generation grew up thinking that religion was completely marginal to British life, which, as for the rest of the world, has been proved more and more wrong..." Simon Schama, historian. “Sadly, distortions of religious belief and texts are used as political weapons in many conflicts as well as clashes over traditional beliefs and practices. That requires us to know more about the tenets of major religions and systems of belief, to be able to better assess and analyse different interpretations.” Lyse Doucet, chief international correspondent, BBC News. “Religious literacy has never been more important but the potential of programmes in the field of religion is far from being realised." Roger Bolton, presenter, 'Feedback', BBC Radio 4, and Sandford St Martin Trustee. Executive Summary 1. In this submission, the Sandford St Martin Trust will deal with a key element of the BBC’s output, namely religious programming, since this is the focus of our Trust’s activity and its area of expertise. Our Trustees include people with many years’ experience of broadcasting, including the presenter of Radio 4’s 'Feedback' and former BBC and ITV editor Roger Bolton; the former Chief Executive of the Radio Authority Tony Stoller; and the former BBC media correspondent Torin Douglas. Other trustees bring wider experience of both religion and the media and include experienced producers, directors and journalists from a variety of faith backgrounds.
