  • 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.

  • Eine Anleitung Finden Sie Hier
    Durch die Umstellung des TV-Signals von Vodafon Kabel auf Privat Kabel ändert sich auch die Reihenfolge Ihrer Programme. Führen Sie deshalb bitte nach der Umstellung einen Sendersuchlauf durch, um alle Sender wie gewohnt empfangen zu können. Jedes TV-Geräte und jeder Receiver sind anders aufgebaut. Die wesentlichen Schritte sind aber auf allen Geräten ähnlich. Wenn Sie zum ersten Mal den Sendersuchlauf auf Ihrem Gerät starten, empfehlen wir die Bedienungsanleitung zur Hand zu nehmen. Die folgende Anleitung ist daher allgemein gehalten. Folgende Schritte sind immer zu beachten: Öffnen Sie über die Fernbedienung das Menü des Fernsehers oder des SAT-Receivers Bitte beachten Sie: Die Begriffe können sich von Gerät zu Gerät unterscheiden. Rufen Sie "Menü" oder "Home" auf Ihrem Fernseher oder Receiver auf Wählen Sie den Menüpunkt "Einstellungen" oder "Setup" Wählen Sie "Senderempfang" oder "Sendersuche". Die gängigsten Begriffe finden Sie hier. Wählen Sie „Automatischer Sendersuchlauf“ Wählen Sie nun die richtigen Einstellungen: Quelle: Kabel, Cable oder DVB-C Sendertyp: Digital, DTV Suchlaufmodus: Voll Suchbereich: Alle Sender Falls die gewünschten Sender nach dem Sendersuchlauf nicht erscheinen, auf die Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen. Bei einem Werksreset werden Sie vielleicht nach einem PIN gefragt – häufig lautet dieser 0000. Der Sendersuchlauf bzw. Werksreset kann einige Zeit dauern, 15 Min und länger. Sortieren Sie bei Bedarf an- schließend Ihre Lieblingssender wieder an den gewohnten Platz. Einige Anlagen haben zusätzlich einen Satelliten-Direkt-Empfang von Astra 19,2 Grad und Eutelsat 13 Grad (Hotbird). Wenn Sie diese Programme auch empfangen möchten, prüfen Sie ob Ihr Fernseher ein Triple Tuner hat (DVB-T2, DVB-C und DVB-S) und starten erneut den Sendersuchlauf mit geänderter Quelle jetzt DVB-S.

  • 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.

  • SUBMISSION by CHANNEL 5 BROADCASTING LTD to OFCOM CALL for INPUTS on MANAGING the EFFECTS of 700 Mhz CLEARANCE
    SUBMISSION BY CHANNEL 5 BROADCASTING LTD TO OFCOM CALL FOR INPUTS ON MANAGING THE EFFECTS OF 700 MHz CLEARANCE Channel 5 welcomes the opportunity to respond to this call for inputs. As we are not a multiplex operator we do not have access to technical data that would enable us to answer all of Ofcom’s questions. But we do have strong views on the importance of the DTT platform and how the clearance programme should be managed. We are confident the 700 MHz clearance programme can be sensibly managed, especially in light of the experience gained during digital switchover (DSO) and the 800 MHz clearance programme. In planning the clearance programme, the greatest priority should be maintenance of confidence in the platform for the tens of millions of viewers who depend on it for viewing on both primary and secondary television sets. The DTT platform is of critical importance for public service broadcasting. For example, Channel 5 has eight channels1 broadcasting on DTT; it is the platform on which our channels are watched most and which is of greatest commercial benefit to us. We believe it is important for there to be a coherent and well resourced support and communications plan. Digital UK has proved itself an effective platform management body, as well as having past experience of DSO and 800 MHz clearance, so we would expect it to have the lead role in managing the programme. The programme itself needs to be properly resourced by government; the clearance programme is taking place to facilitate long-term economic benefits that will accrue to the mobile operators and the wider economy, not to DTT viewers, so the costs of it should be met from the public purse.

  • 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.
