Gaelic TV is surprise hit with viewers - TV Radio, Media - The Independent

For BBC Alba is proving to be an unexpected success, pulling in more than 600,000 viewers in its first week of broadcasting, more than double the projected audience of 250,000. The figures are particularly encouraging given the channel's modest annual budget of 14m, and the fact that it only broadcasts between 5pm and 11pm each day. Currently, it is only available on Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media, and not on Freeview. - independent.co.uk

Pay-television technology company NDS reported profits down by 56 in the last quarter on revenues down 11 at 182 million. Of this 98 million was for conditional access systems, down 19 from 121 million in the same period a year ago. Although NDS shipped more smart cards in the quarter than a year ago, the results apparently reflected volume discounts on the renewal of contracts with large customers and differences in when revenues were recognised. - informitv.com

Steve Hewlett: How to get public opinion on your side: ask the right question |Media |The Guardian

A battle royal looks likely, with both sides claiming to represent the public interest. The first shots came from Ofcom's chairman, Lord Currie, who, a few months ago, questioned the corporation's assertion that the public strongly connected the BBC with the licence fee. When asked what should be done with any excess or surplus licence fee, far from supporting Ofcom's plans to give it to C4 or spend it on other PSB purposes, 62 said they'd like a rebate. - guardian.co.uk

Is satellite TV picture quality up to scratch? | News | TechRadar UK

Historically, satellite, and Sky in particular has often been at the forefront of key AV developments in the UK. Yet it was also the first broadcaster to champion HDTV. Sky's 20-year reign as the nation's first-and-foremost satellite TV provider has seldom been anything other than groundbreaking from a technical standpoint it pioneered interactive services like home-shopping and made Pay-Per-View a real alternative to movie rentals, as well as providing expanded coverage of major sporting events. - techradar.com

BBC iPlayer on Wii: new BigScreen interface

Six months ago, we made BBC iPlayer available on Nintendo Wii. In other words, we made a new video stream for Wii, but we didn't optimise the user interface for the Wii's screen resolution or Wiimote remote control. In fact, one of the reasons why we didn't create a custom Wii interface was because our user interface team was hard at work on the new-look BBC iPlayer 2.0 site, which was to launch in June. - bbc.co.uk

ITV shares under 30p for first time |Media |guardian.co.uk

The broadcaster hit an all-time low of 28.25 at 10.35am this morning, leaving ITV's market capitalisation at just 1.2bn. Concerns were raised yesterday over the extent of ITV's pension fund deficit, which stood at 221m at the end of June and could result in the broadcaster having to inject more than it agreed last year and potentially cut its dividend. Later in the day, ITV's share price rallied a little to 29.25p at 4.15pm, down 0.75p or 2.5 on yesterday's closing price. - guardian.co.uk

Woe for Virgin and Sky as credit crunch turns viewers off pay-TV cost - mirror.co.uk

22 Oct 2008 0000 Almost a quarter of pay-TV customers are considering cutting their subscription package because of the credit crunch.

ITV faces Ofcom fines of 80m a year if it surrenders PSB licences | Media | guardian.co.uk

Michael Grade said ITV could foresee a future as a full commercial body. The broadcaster's net advertising revenue during 2007 was 1.22bn, meaning ITV fines could start at 80m a year and rise until its licences expire in 2014. Ofcom has confirmed that under Section 424 of the 1990 Broadcasting Act, PSB licence holders who fail to provide the service they are contracted to do face a financial penalty. - guardian.co.uk

Question of the week: What if ITV hands back its licences? |Media |The Guardian

If the government and regulators want ITV to carry non-profitable public service programming in the future they will have to use bribery rather than the traditional stick to get ITV to do it. That is why Ofcom's public service fund is a good idea so long as it doesn't mean the BBC receiving less money. We need more imaginative ways of paying for the fund and the money in the fund shouldn't automatically go to Channel 4 - some of the fund should go to support regional news on ITV and some to create truly local television. - guardian.co.uk

Digital TV switchover will hit rural viewers |Media |The Guardian

The culture secretary, Andy Burnham, has been accused of neglecting 2.5 million households in rural areas after it emerged they would get less than half the number of TV channels broadcast to the rest of Britain after the switch to digital services. Opposition MPs believe the government is discriminating against rural communities because ministers have refused to make sure that all the broadcasters using the digital service Freeview offer a full service for every home, once the analogue television signal is finally switched off in 2012. The problem is most keenly felt in the Borders TV region, which covers southern Scotland, Cumbria and parts of Northumberland. - guardian.co.uk
