  • 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.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • The DRM Trial
    Project Mayflower: The DRM Trial Final Report April 2009 1 Project Mayflower: The DRM Trial Trial Summary Introduction The BBC and its transmission provider, National Grid Wireless, have recently undertaken a trial of digital radio mondiale (DRM), a technology which allows digital broadcasting at frequencies lower than 30 MHz. The trial ran for a year from April 2007. The final report of the trial is made up of three separate documents: − this trial summary report, which provides some background and draws together the headline conclusions; − a final audience research report, which outlines the results of the research undertaken with an audience panel over the year1; and − a BBC R&D white paper, which provides the results and analysis of continuous unattended measuring and logging of the transmission2. Reflecting the way in which the trial was organised, each of these reports has been written by a different part of the team involved. The final audience research report has been written by the company employed to undertake the research – Leapfrog Research & Planning – with the assistance of BBC Marketing, Communications & Audiences. The technical note has been written by a member of the team who built the continuous logging network at BBC Research & Development and who was involved in developing the underlying DRM technology. 1 “Project Mayflower ‐ Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Trial: Final audience research summary report”, Daniel Amarasinghe (Leapfrog Planning & Research), Russell Chant (BBC MC&A); August 2008 2 BBC Research White Paper 174, “The Plymouth Digital Radio Mondiale (Drm) Trial: Long‐term Reception Results”, Andrew Murphy; February 2009 2 Background to the trial The digital radio mondiale (DRM) technology is an international standard which was designed to allow digital broadcasting at frequencies below 30 MHz, that is in the broadcasting bands which currently rely on AM transmission.

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.

  • Projects Within Knowle West and Wider Bristol
    ANNUALREPORT20112012ANNUALREPORT20112012 ABOUTUSABOUTUS Who are we? Knowle West Media Centre (KWMC) believes that the arts have the power to make a difference to our lives, our neighbourhoods and our environment. KWMC is a charity and arts organisation based in an area of South Bristol known locally as Knowle West, within the Council ward of Filwood: an estate of approximately 5,500 households. It is an area of great community spirit, with many green open spaces. However, educational achievement is below the city average and some areas of Filwood are ranked in the most deprived 10% in England. KWMC evolved from a community-based photography project set up in 1996 to explore the link be- tween wellbeing and the arts, and we continue to work with residents to use media arts to address local issues, improve health, and provide access to new opportunities. Our primary aim is to achieve social, cultural and economic regeneration. In practice, this means supporting people to get involved in community activism, education, employment, and local decision- making – in ways that are exciting and enjoyable. Creativity and technology run like a thread through everything we do, from young people’s groups and energy-saving projects to music workshops and exhibitions. Our work is both locally focused and nationally relevant. From our strawbale building designed by young people in 2007 we run projects and initiatives that have been replicated, studied, and learnt from elsewhere in the UK and Europe. illustration by Michael Smith 20112012INNUMBERS20112012INNUMBERS
