Freeview channel to be auctioned off |Media |guardian.co.uk

A new Freeview channel is to go under the auction hammer - potentially sparking off a bidding war among broadcasters. Arqiva, which holds the licence for two of the six multiplexes that make up the UK's digital terrestrial TV platform, is calling for bidders by October 22, with the channel available from January. The relative scarcity of Freeview slots and the booming popularity of the service could make competition for the channel intense, one analyst said. - guardian.co.uk

BBC iPlayer goes portable

These devices do not have internet connectivity, so we're talking about a download rather than a streaming experience. As an aside, working out whether a device supports Windows Media Protected playback may require some research on the part of the consumer. There's a bewildering number of similar-looking devices with different capabilities available in shops, and it can be hard to tell which formats are supported by any given portable media player. - bbc.co.uk

We love technology here at TechRadar the clue's in the name but if there's one service we wouldn't mind dying a very quiet death, it's the squinty, tinny, pixel-fest that is mobile TV. So imagine our delight on hearing that tech analysts Juniper Research are downgrading their forecast for dedicated mobile broadcast networks. Juniper reckons that of the 330m mobile users owning broadcast TV-enabled handsets in five years' time, just 14 per cent will opt for mobile pay TV services. - techradar.com

EC looks to break down TV borders : Broadband TV News

The European Commission has criticised the sluggish growth in cross-border conditional access services. The Commission is planning to put together a picture of potential cross-border markets and has highlighted the movement around the continent by many Europeans. As millions of people in Europe live away from their country of origin and want to access services from back home, but often cannot, the Commission will be gathering more information on potential markets for the distribution of TV programmes and films beyond national borders, said a statement from the Commission. - broadbandtvnews.com

The future for the BBC lies in the technology that can open it up to the world, just as technology gave it life last century.

Brussels seeks to ban 14m subsidy to C4 |Media |The Guardian

The European commission is likely to ban the government's proposed 14m aid to Channel 4 to meet the costs of the digital switchover and fulfil its public service broadcasting PSB commitments. Neelie Kroes, European competition commissioner, has cast serious doubts over whether the funding is compatible with EU state aid rules. In a letter sent to the foreign secretary, David Miliband, this summer and seen by the Guardian, she suggested that Channel 4 had enough reserves and revenues to pay for its digital expansion. - guardian.co.uk
