Guidance from the Bridge Group 62 Diversity and equal opportunities in television: In-focus report on the main five broadcasters 1. Introduction 1.1 This In-focus report provides more in-depth analysis across each of the main five broadcasters1 and should be read in conjunction with the main report. 1.2 Each section gives an overview of the six protected characteristics for which we collected data, showing profiles for all UK employees across each broadcaster. The top row (purple) shows profiles for gender, racial group and disability, for which data provision was mandatory. The bottom row (blue) shows profiles for age, sexual orientation and religion or belief, for which provision was voluntary. 1.3 Though broadcasters were not required to provide the information requested on a voluntary basis, we consider these to be equally important characteristics that should be monitored to effectively assess how well equal opportunities are being promoted across the industry. We made it clear in our information request that, to provide context and transparency, we would be publishing information on who did and didn’t provide the data requested. 1.4

  • Kicking Off with Comedy Central's Roast of Rob Lowe
    Media Release: Tuesday August 23, 2016 Get ready for a feast of Roasts on Foxtel Kicking off with Comedy Central’s Roast of Rob Lowe Tuesday September 6 at 8.30pm Express from the US on The Comedy Channel Hollywood heartthrob Rob Lowe is treated with his very own special Roast – and considering the skeletons in Lowe's closet, which include struggles with alcohol and an affair with Princess Stephanie of Monaco – the Roasters should have no problem finding topics to poke fun at. Comedy Central’s Roast of Rob Lowe will premiere Tuesday September 6 at 8.30pm Express from the US on The Comedy Channel. Known for his roles in St Elmo’s Fire, Wayne’s World, the Austin Powers franchise, The West Wing, Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Recreation, The Grinder and many, many more – Lowe has been a handsome fixture of our small and silver screens since the early 1980s. Get ready for Lowe’s dirty laundry to be aired when the Roasters spill the beans on his movie star lifestyle and brat pack antics. Comedy Central’s Roast of Rob Lowe will assemble a dais of comedians and celebrities, along with Roast Master David Spade (Saturday Night Live, Joe Dirt, Just Shoot Me!, Rules of Engagement), to take down the ageless sex symbol one burn at a time. The first round of Roasters confirmed include one of the UK's most distinctive comedians Jimmy Carr, Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson, actress and Lowe’s co- star Bo Derek, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, comedic actor Rob Riggle, and Roast alumni Jeff Ross.
