Children’s analysis PSB Annual Report December 2014 Ofcom’s duties • Ofcom is required to consider whether the PSB services, taken together, include what appears to Ofcom to be “a suitable quantity and range of high quality and original programmes for children and young people.” (s264(6)(h)). • The Communications Act provides that Ofcom is no longer responsible for ensuring that an individual commercial PSB fulfils a set number of hours of children’s programming. • It is for PSBs themselves to decide what to deliver in terms of children’s programming, as well as other programme types such as arts programmes: the so-called ‘Tier 3 genres’. 1 Notes on the data PSB channels – ITV includes GMTV unless otherwise stated. Data for S4C is shown in a separate section, apart from S4C’s children’s output which is included within the children’s section of the report. – GMTV became Daybreak during 2010; the data relating to both services are labelled as ‘ITV Breakfast’ throughout this pack. Spend data – Programme spend represents the total cost of production or acquisition, including rights costs but excluding third party investment. In the case of commissions, it represents the price paid to the independent producer (and therefore includes a mark-up on production costs). – Trend data showing programme costs over a number of years is given in 2013 prices (i.e. taking account of inflation, using the Consumer Price Index). Definition of ‘slot time’ vs. ‘running time’ – Output hours are either based on slot time or running time. Slot time includes advertisements, sponsorship breaks and promos whereas running time excludes these minutes from programme output hours analysis. It is stated beneath each chart in this annex whether slot time or running time is used in the analysis. 2 Average hours of weekly viewing, by age Average weekly viewing (hrs, mins) 20 19 18.3 18 Children 17.6 17.5 16.5 17.2 17 16.9 16.9 16.8 16.7 16.6 16.4 16.2 16 16.0 16.4 Children 4-9 15.7 15.5 15.6 15 14.9 14 Children 10-15 13 12 11 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Source: BARB, 2008-2013. 3 Children’s total weekly viewing, by channel type – Children 4-15: 2008-2013 16.2 16.0 17.6 17.2 16.6 15.7 Average hours/week 100% Commercial multichannel (e.g. Sky One, Disney) 80% 41% 42% 40% 41% 42% 43% Commercial PSBs' portfolio channels 60% 12% 10% 12% 13% 13% 15% BBC portfolio channels 10% 10% 12% 13% 40% 13% 13% 22% Commercial PSB channels 21% 20% 19% Channel share (%) share Channel 18% 20% 18% 17% BBC One & BBC Two 15% 15% 14% 14% 12% 0% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Source: BARB, Children 4-15, Network. 4 Children’s total weekly viewing in ‘adult’ and children’s airtime, children 4-15: 2008-2013 16.2 16.0 17.6 17.2 16.6 15.7 Average hours/week 100% Adult airtime: all other channels 32% 34% 34% 34% 35% 35% 80% Adult airtime: main PSB channels 60% 36% 34% 34% 32% 31% 30% All other children's channels 40% Channel share (%) share Channel CBBC/ CBeebies 21% 22% 24% 20% 21% 22% 20% 8% 8% 10% 10% 10% 10% Kids airtime: main PSB channels 0% 4% 3% 3% 2% 2% 1% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Source: BARB, Children 4-15, Network.
