    Delivering Quality First in Northern Ireland DELIVERING QUALITY FIRST IN NORTHERN IRELAND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The BBC in Northern Ireland aims to bring the highest quality, most distinctive programmes and services to local audiences, reflecting the diversity of its cultures, communities and languages, and informing, educating and entertaining all its citizens. Our ambition is to deliver content driven by the unique needs of our local audiences, fulfilling the BBC’s public purposes within the context of political, economic and social change in Northern Ireland. The capacity to evaluate and reflect a Northern Ireland society during this period of significant transformation is at the heart of our proposition. Northern Ireland-specific output such as BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle is extremely popular and highly distinctive. On television, BBC Newsline and the current affairs programme Spotlight combine with live sports coverage and a wide range of non-news programming such as The Estate, Belfast Blitz and House of the Year to deliver significant value to local audiences. In the first quarter of 2011, ten of BBC One Northern Ireland’s top twenty programmes were locally made Northern Ireland programmes. Within a very competitive television news market, the BBC’s television news specifically for Northern Ireland audiences (BBC Newsline) is highly trusted and valued by our audience. When the BBC’s programmes for Northern Ireland audiences opt into the BBC One and BBC Two network schedules, they consistently add to the overall channel performance. BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle reaches on average almost 38% of the Northern Ireland adult population each week – amongst the highest reach of all of the BBC’s national and local radio services.

  • BBC Belfast and Cinegy: News, Collaboration and Production for the Digital Northern Ireland Initiative
    BBC Belfast and Cinegy News, Collaboration and Production for the Digital Northern Ireland Initiative BBC Belfast and Cinegy: News, Collaboration and Production for the Digital Northern Ireland Initiative In the heart of Belfast, County Antrim, sits Broadcasting House, home to BBC Northern Ireland, the primary public service broadcaster providing television, radio, online and interactive television content to the Northern Ireland region. BBC NI is part of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and one of three such national regions, along with BBC Scotland and BBC Wales. BBC Northern Ireland broadcasts two television channels from Broadcasting House, BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC Two Northern Ireland. The channels are mostly identical to the national BBC One and BBC Two broadcast from London, with the addition of regional programming and local announcers. The main signal is distributed from London to Belfast via dedicated lines where live continuity is managed by a team of regional announcers who double up as playout directors, inserting local programmes and content. With a history of social and political turmoil, the accessibility of regional news and current affairs has always been paramount to the people of Northern Ireland. The BBC Northern Ireland regional news service, BBC Newsline, provides lunchtime, evening and late night bulletins. They offer several political programmes, such as, Spotlight and Let’s Talk, as well as local arts programmes and weekend chat shows. The Belfast facility produces a total of 11 daily regional news programmes as well as covering any special events in the region. In addition to local programming focusing solely on a Northern Irish audience, the Belfast facility also features a large production unit that generates content that is broadcast on the BBC's channels across the UK.

  • BBC Nations' News and Radio Services
    BBC Trust service review: BBC nations’ news and radio services summary report August 2016 Executive summary Introduction The BBC nations’ news and radio services are a very important part of the BBC’s offer in each of the devolved nations. They are highly distinctive, very focused on delivery of the BBC’s public purposes and are seen as high quality by their audiences. These services play a particularly important role because Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland are devolved within the UK in many important policy areas and each has a strong and distinct sense of identity. These services allow the BBC to properly inform citizens in each nation about news which is relevant to them including government policy areas affected by devolution such as education, agriculture, the environment, health and housing. Our research found clear audience demand for this output. While the nations’ radio and TV services have content that is relevant to all audiences, they tend to reach older adults more effectively than younger ones. The challenge to reach a broad audience is growing, as younger adults in particular (but all adults to some degree) use broadcast services less and consume more online content. This affects news consumption in particular. New technology provides more innovative and flexible ways for the BBC to offer its content, but it also increases choice for audiences and creates a risk that, if the BBC does not keep pace with change, it will not be able to deliver its public purposes to a broad audience. The services must find a way to remain relevant and modernize their offer for younger adults, but they must do so at a time when funding across the BBC is under pressure, and this may entail difficult trade-offs.

As part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in October 2015, the Executive was given a formal consultative role in the process of the BBC Charter Review. Once granted, the MoU will commit the BBC to send its annual report and accounts to the Executive, and to lay these before the Assembly. The MoU also includes a commitment from the BBC to appear before Assembly committees on matters relating to Northern Ireland. ITV takeover of UTV completed UTV Media plc completed the sale of its TV interests in February 2016. The deal saw the company’s TV stations in Northern Ireland (UTV) and the Republic of Ireland (UTV Ireland) transfer to ITV plc. Under the terms of its licence, which was renewed in January 2015, UTV has to deliver a minimum weekly quota of four hours of regional news and two hours of regional non-news programming (of which 26 minutes must be current affairs). As part of the takeover process, Ofcom carried out a Change of Control Review. During the course of this review Ofcom approved a proposal from ITV to increase UTV’s regional current affairs quota from 26 to 33 minutes per week, and varied the licence accordingly. In June, News Corp. agreed to buy the remaider of UTV Media (rebranded Wireless Group), which includes radio stations in Britain and Ireland, in a reported £220m deal.
