STV channel (ITV Scotland region) [Source: Enders Analysis, BARB/AdvantEdge] If your company is an Enders Analysis subscriber and you would like to receive our research directly to your inbox, let us know at www.endersanalysis.com/subscribers STV holds the two Scotland regional Channel 3 licences—the only ones outside ITV’s ownership. Nevertheless, the two are closely linked: the vast majority of STV’s broadcast schedule is comprised of Channel 3 networked programming, while ITV sells all STV’s national linear airtime and sponsorship. This relationship presents STV with two clear advantages: • Access to a network programme budget of over £800 million at a cost we estimate of c. £40 million • The arrangement whereby in any advertising downturn, STV’s programming payment to ITV declines, while programming costs can only increase when advertising revenues do. At a time of general content cost inflation, and a difficult advertising market, the upshot for STV is material, amounting to a £3.5 million saving in H1 2020 But while STV’s fortunes are inextricably bound to the efficacy of ITV, there is still room for maneuverability and strategy through its Scottish programming, stakeholder relationships, regional advertising, production capability and control of the digital transformation of the company. In January 2018 Simon Pitts took the helm as STV’s CEO, and five months later the company announced its new three-year growth strategy aiming “to establish the integrated producer-broadcaster as Scotland’s home of news and entertainment”. This was to be delivered through three strategic objectives: • Maximising the value of the broadcast business by delivering high quality, cost-effective news and entertainment • Driving digital growth through the STV Player by creating an ‘STV for Everyone’ • Building a world class production business If an existing business did not fit into the new strategy, it would no longer be supported. The loss-making local TV venture, STV2, was sold in June 2018 to That’s Media, while STV ELM—which provides operational services to the charitable Scottish Children’s Lottery which launched in 2016—is to be divested. Considering the symbiotic relationship between STV and ITV, it is perhaps unsurprising that at a high level the two share similar overarching strategies. Both aim to become less reliant on linear advertising revenues by developing their production businesses along with an emphasis on the transition to digital. Of course the same structural viewing shifts that affect all broadcasters—accelerated by the pandemic— make STV’s strategic realignment all the more urgent. In this report we will consider each of the three core objectives and the extent to which they are being realised, before covering the impact of COVID-19 on the company. We will show that its consistent commitment to regional news, investment in internal sales teams and the launch of the STV Growth Fund to widen the television advertising base in Scotland has further cemented its already strong relationships with viewers and businesses in its home country, thereby reinforcing its status as the leading commercial broadcaster. Online, the broadcaster seems finally to be kicking into gear with the STV Player now available on the majority of connected TVs in Scotland. Moreover, its content strategy of licensing third-party content takes the Player—minus any Channel 3 catch-up content—beyond STV’s borders. As STV sells all its Player inventory we will see significant upside in digital revenues over the next few years. Additionally, STV’s burgeoning production business—with a new management team and indie acquisitions—stands to benefit from the increasing nations and regions commitments for PSBs, which favour STV. STV: Pulling the levers for growth [2020-099] 2 | 14 Overview of the STV business Linear spot advertising and sponsorship remains the bedrock of STV’s business, forming 75% of its total revenues in 2019. National advertising has been broadly flat since 2017, with revenues increasing at a CAGR of just under 0.1% (v. 2.5% on a UK-wide basis). As Figure 2 shows the two main drivers of STV’s revenue growth have been its regional advertising and the STV Player (‘Digital’), which we discuss in detail later in this report. Figure 2: STV revenues, 2020 H1, 2019 v. 2017 (£m) 2020 H1 2019 2017 CAGR (%) Broadcast 35.0 92.3 92.0 0.1% National 28.0 75.3 74.3 - Regional 6.0 14.9 11.0 - Other 1.0 2.1 2.0 - Sponsorship - - 5.7 - Digital 5.9 13.0 8.2 16.6% Productions 1.6 13.7 10.2 10.2% ELM 2.2 4.8 6.6 6.6% Total revenues 44.7 123.8 120.4 1.9% The revenue streams STV reports have changed over the last three years—sponsorship revenues are now bundled into National and Regional revenues. Where it is not possible to identify the correct comparatives zero (-) has been entered. [Source: company reports, Enders Analysis] STV’s digital revenues have grown rapidly (albeit from a small base), at a CAGR of 17% since 2017— although we note that, on an absolute basis, STV Player is still a relatively small proportion of total revenues, c. 11% as of 2019 year-end. Far more significant is its impact on the bottom line—digital revenues have a margin of c. 50%—meaning that they contribute roughly one-third of total operating profit. STV’s operating margins have grown commensurately, up 2.1 ppts. Figure 3: STV adjusted costs, EBITDA, and other financials, 2019 v. 2017 (£m) 2019 2017 CAGR (%) Total costs 101.2 98.0 (1.1%) Broadcast 72.4 76.7 1.9% Digital 5.7 4.5 (8.2%) Production 13.8 10.2 (10.6%) EBITDA 27.7 21.5 8.8% Operating profit 22.6 19.0 6.0% Operating profit % 18.3% 16.2% - Free cash flow* 21.0 12.2 19.8% *2017 free cash flow was impacted by the timing of NAA/ASA offsets, as payments were received in August. Where costs have increased, CAGR has been denoted with brackets, as costs are a negative line item [Source: company reports, Enders Analysis] STV: Pulling the levers for growth [2020-099] 3 | 14 STV’s 2020 diversification target of one third of operating profit being non-broadcast earnings has been thrown off track by COVID-19—revenues from content sales have dwindled given the freeze on most television production (see Broadcast television: Troubling trends in lockdown [2020-058])—but over the remainder of the report we discuss the developments being made along this path up until the pandemic, and how the company has reacted to the current situation. Maximising broadcast with enhanced viewer and business engagement Traditional TV viewing will continue its decline, but we believe that significant value will remain within STV’s broadcast business: pivotally, ITV is a reliable deliverer of a wide array of UK-originated programming that covers many genres and is of widespread, mainstream appeal. That being said, with regard to their broadcast businesses, STV and ITV have slightly differing objectives and capabilities. ITV’s objective is couched in terms of “transforming” its broadcast business, which encompasses commissioning programmes (to reach lighter viewers and increase reach), digital investment in ITV Hub and addressable advertising, as well as developing deeper strategic and creative partnerships with advertisers (see Silver linings for TV [2020-073]). STV is only responsible for commissioning its programming for Scotland and does not have the same relationships with national advertisers as ITV. As it can neither influence the majority of its schedule nor controls most of its ad revenues, its broadcast objective relates to areas where it effectively retains autonomy. Thus, STV is seeking to “maximise” the value of the broadcast business, which it aims to do in two main ways: 1. Investing in a distinctive future-facing news organisation 2.

  • Scottish Television
    Scottish Television Are those who work in television libraries and archives to be classed as critical workers? This was the question facing management at Scottish Television (STV), a public service broadcaster based in Glasgow, as the UK went into lockdown when the Coronavirus crisis hit. STV’s Media Centre Manager, John McVie, has the challenging role of servicing broadcast, STV Player (an online hub for STV content), newsroom operations and production needs at this difficult time. In normal circumstances, the Media Centre team is based on site, managing a collection of physical and digital video assets and providing services to all parts of STV. As an office-based operation the team has quickly had to adapt their services, with transmission the main priority (keeping STV on-air), alongside ensuring that the daily news output continues to be captured to STV’s archive systems and catalogued to usual standards. However, one consequence of the current news cycle is that the demand for archive material to be used in news bulletins has reduced, as the journalistic focus is on one story only, which has little need for archive footage to illustrate it. The Media Centre has introduced a roster system (and, as a consequence, a reduced service for news), with only one member of the team based on site each day, while others in the team work from home. Working on site now presents new challenges, as the rostered person cannot mix with other teams and must maintain social distancing, remaining isolated as much as possible while in the building. In addition, archive workers in transmission and news environments handle multiple tapes and machines per day.

  • And Public Health
    Medicine, the Market and the Mass Media It is sixty years since the end of the Second World War, but historians have only just begun to explore thoroughly the postwar history of health and its interwar antecedents. Most research and literature has focused on health services and the arrival of the NHS; where public health is concerned many historical surveys ignore the recent past and base their investigations on the nineteenth-century public health legacy. This collection opens up the postwar history of public health to sustained research- based, historical scrutiny. Medicine, the Market and the Mass Media examines the development of a new view of ‘the health of the public’ and the influences that shaped it in the postwar years. The book looks at the dual legacy of social medicine through health services and health promotion, and analyses the role of the mass media along with the connections between public health and industry. These essays take a broad perspective examining developments in Western Europe, and the relationships between Europe and the USA. Virginia Berridge is Professor of History and head of the Centre for History in Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London. She has published books and articles on health and society in the twentieth century. Kelly Loughlin is a lecturer in History at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the main focus of her research is the history of health and medical communications in the UK.
