  • Digital One’S Response to the Ofcom Consultation “Future Pricing of Spectrum Used for Terrestrial Broadcasting”
    Digital One’s Response to the Ofcom Consultation “Future pricing of spectrum used for terrestrial broadcasting” 1. Digital One operates the UK’s only national commercial DAB digital radio multiplex. Its shareholders are GCap Media (63%) and Arqiva (37%). Digital One’s transmission network (which is operated by Arqiva) is the world’s biggest DAB digital radio network with coverage well in excess of 85% of the British population. Digital One’s multiplex broadcasts: - the three INRs (Classic FM, Virgin Radio and talkSPORT); - four digital-only national stations (Capital Life, Core, Oneword and Planet Rock) with a further station being launched in the next few months; - TV channels and an Electronic Programme Guide broadcast as part of BT Movio. Digital One is a leading stakeholder in the UK’s Digital Radio Development Bureau and the WorldDAB Forum (which is responsible for the DAB digital radio standard and works to coordinate the international roll-out of Eureka 147 based technologies). 2. Digital One is licensed under the 1996 Broadcasting Act, and has licence obligations which help deliver public policy benefits. These limit Digital One’s ability to use the spectrum it has been allocated in the most efficient manner (in economic terms). For example: - the obligation to operate a transmitter network which delivers high population coverage; - the obligation (at the direction of the Secretary of State for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport) to carry the three INRs and to offer each INR an amount of capacity dictated by the regulator;

    Oliveira, M.; Portela, P. & Santos, L.A. (eds.) (2012) Radio Evolution: Conference Proceedings September, 14-16, 2011, Braga, University of Minho: Communication and Society Research Centre ISBN 978-989-97244-9-5 Live and local no more? Listening communities and globalising trends in the ownership and production of local radio 1 GUY STARKEY University of Sunderland [email protected] Abstract: This paper considers the trend in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world for locally- owned, locally-originated and locally-accountable commercial radio stations to fall into the hands of national and even international media groups that disadvantage the communities from which they seek to profit, by removing from them a means of cultural expression. In essence, localness in local radio is an endangered species, even though it is a relatively recent phenomenon. Lighter- touch regulation also means increasing automation, so live presentation is under threat, too. By tracing the early development of local radio through ideologically-charged debates around public-service broadcasting and the fitness of the private sector to exploit scarce resources, to present-day digital environments in which traditional rationales for regulation on ownership and content have become increasingly challenged, the paper also speculates on future developments in local radio. The paper situates developments in the radio industry within wider contexts in the rapidly-evolving, post-McLuhan mediatised world of the twenty-first century. It draws on research carried out between July 2009 and January 2011for the new book, Local Radio, Going Global, published in December 2011 by Palgrave Macmillan. Keywords: radio, local, public service broadcasting, community radio Introduction: distinctiveness and homogenisation This paper is mainly concerned with the rise and fall of localness in local radio in a single country, the United Kingdom.

  • Non-Tech Companies Fostering Technology Acquisitions
    NEWSLETTER GMAP Tech Newsletter NEWSLETTER Tech Acquisitions by Non-Tech Companies NEWSLETTER GMAP Tech Non-Tech Companies Fostering Technology Acquisitions October 2020 www.globalma.comAugust 2020 www.globalma.com www.globalma.com Page | 1 NEWSLETTER GMAP Tech Newsletter Tech Acquisitions by Non-Tech Companies EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As innovation becomes key to business success, legacy firms are embarking on the inorganic growth path to leverage the latest technology from startups. And these incumbent organizations are benefiting from engaging with lean and agile startups that bring innovation faster with shorter turnaround periods. A major shift is that these companies have become more comfortable with technology, trying to recast themselves as tech companies as seen in the technology-intensive and acquisitive Aerospace & Defence, Industrial, and BFSI industries. Companies in other industries are also active in acquiring tech firms to help reduce costs, competition, and disruption; expand to new geographies; and explore new market opportunities. However, a particularly popular technology to garner patrons across all industries has been artificial intelligence. With companies from almost all industries acquiring or investing in AI firms to capitalize, enhance or expand their capabilities, while also adding to their skilled talent pool; this tech has had a major impact on deal-making. Other major technologies drawing attractive valuations from a diverse range of acquirers include analytics, automation, cloud, cybersecurity, and digital operations / management platforms. Though, initially not comfortable with the high prices that many tech companies fetch, non-tech companies have now become much more fluent in the language of tech company valuations; leading to some notable large- ticket transactions in the history of deal-making.

  • The Challenges and Triumphs of UK Commercial Radio
    - 1 - Risk and Reward - The Challenges and Triumphs of UK Commercial Radio by Patrick Woodward Submitted for the degree of MA (Mass Communications) 2006 14,377 words - 2 - Dissertation abstract This dissertation traces developments in commercial radio in the UK from its inception in the 1930’s up to the present day. The author examines the struggles faced by the industry, initially against prejudice on the part of the BBC and government, and more recently the twin challenges of financial pressure and new technology which threaten its future. In following the progress of UK commercial radio for most of the 20th century and a small part of the 21st, the author explores how changes in wider society have prompted, and sometimes have been prompted by, developments in commercial radio. Finally he asks whether commercial radio can survive in the 21st century. - 3 - Acknowledgements I would like to thank my tutor, Simon Cross, for his invaluable help and advice in the development of this dissertation, and for his helpful comments throughout the course. I would also like to thank those who allowed me to interview them for this dissertation, and my employers, Revival Media, for allowing me the time to undertake the course. I would also like to thank my wife, Gillian, for her support. I could not have completed this dissertation without such support, but of course the final responsibility for what follows is mine. - 4 - Risk and Reward - The Challenges and Triumphs of UK Commercial Radio Chapter 1 Introduction – the power and influence of radio This is a study of commercial radio in the UK, from its origins in the early 20th century, through to its challenges in the early 21st.
