Maggie Brown: Get real Ofcom, your light touch regulation isnt working |Media |guardian.co.uk

The trio of Ofcom grandees, who unveiled proposals allowing ITV to savage its regional news, were pretty snappy under fire at their press conference yesterday and you can see why. They trumpet their mission in this public service broadcasting review, to recommend to government how quality can be maintained. And, in what sometimes seems like a displacement exercise, they propose future solutions. - guardian.co.uk

John Plunkett on the joys of regional TV news |Media |guardian.co.uk

If you lived in Yorkshire, Richard Whiteley was the presenter of the Calendar news magazine first and Channel 4's Countdown second. Holidaying around Britain as a child, other regional news bulletins seemed fabulously exotic with their strange faces, unfamiliar news stories and in the old days at least outrageously clunky opening credits. Each ITV region felt like a whole new TV channel with a unique identity Anglia - guardian.co.uk

Weve been promised mobile TV since the seventies, but now its actually happening! | Mail Online

Whatever happened to the promise of tiny wristwatch-like TV sets giving us our favourite shows on crystal-clear screens while we darted about our daily business We've been promised this since the Seventies but it's a technology that has consistently failed to materialise. Even so-called 'mobile TV services' offered by mobile phone companies miss the target, letting you download only a limited selection of grainy, pre-recorded programmes and having to pay a small fortune for the privilege. - dailymail.co.uk

BBC HD: What Works Best?

I want to deal, though, with some of the comments about the channel content, and also to share with you some of the issues we face in making decisions for the channel. I believe firmly that the BBC has a responsibility to consider programmes from across the full range of content and channels which we broadcast, and that we should continually experiment with forms of programming which are not available elsewhere in HD. Even though we've been making programmes in HD for some time now, we still have a great deal to learn about the best ways to work with what remains an emerging technology. - bbc.co.uk

BetaNews | Congress may see the glass half-empty on DTV transition

After a pair of congressional hearings in recent days where witnesses gave generally favorable reports on the status of the nation's transition to digital television -- still slated for next February 17 -- leaders there are still putting out the word that a crisis of misinformation may not be avoided in time. Roughly 80 of those calls were from residents needing technical assistance with getting their converter boxes to work, while the remainder sought installation assistance that the city had offered through its local fire department. Fire personnel were only too glad to help, Saffo said, because it gave them another opportunity to check to see whether households had proper fire safety equipment such as smoke detectors and extinguishers. - betanews.com

Will mobile television always be medium of the future? - Brand Republic News - Brand Republic

Broadcasters and advertising experts in the UK are divided over when and how mobile TV will reach its tipping point, but are united in their agreement that it is the broadcasting medium of tomorrow. There is no doubt that the mobile phone is a vital tool for marketers - as a medium, arguably it offers the biggest and most interactive audience of any media. Not surprisingly, broadcasters are keen to develop mobile TV as an advertising platform, whether through made-for-mobile video clips, viral advertising, live streaming or down-loadable shows. - brandrepublic.com

And another thing...

Marvin and Arthur Dent's adventures will be penned by a new author All the characters have been blown to pieces, and the trilogy is already two books too long. Douglas Adams died in 2001, having written five of the enduringly popular Hitchhiker books - still inaccurately dubbed a trilogy. About 16 million copies of the books have been sold worldwide, but fans were left disappointed when it seemed as though Adams' early death ended the series with all the main characters seemingly meeting a grisly end. - news.bbc.co.uk

BBC TV on the web redefined

Last but by no means least, today also marks the passage of /programmes from beta to fully fledged live service, boasting a permanent, findable web presence for every TV and radio programme that the BBC broadcasts. Unquestionably, but it's indicative of the increasingly interconnected nature of the BBC's online offer, where the channel websites are no longer discrete content areas, but are fully integrated with the wider programmes offer and beyond. So, how did we set about redesigning and hopefully improving some of the most visited pages on bbc.co.uk - bbc.co.uk

Sky's picnic rained off

Sky are claiming that the media watchdog, Ofcom, has been dragging its heels on making a decision, proving to Sky that dealing with Ofcom is no picnic. Ofcom does not have anything against Picnic from Sky, it is just that when international businesses and government departments go head to head they do not always seem to see eye to eye. This has prompted Sky to trim things down at Picnic until Ofcom have made their decision. - techwatch.co.uk

The gloomy news took its toll on Britains standing in the global credit markets its cost of borrowing rose above that of France for the first time since April 2011 as gilt yields rose to 2.12 per cent, undermining George Osbornes oft-repeated claim that the nation was a safe haven for capital. Taken with poor figures from the manufacturing and construction sectors this week, the picture drawn by the services data was the worst quarterly performance for three and a half years and points to the economy shrinking by about 0.2 per cent in the final quarter of the year. - business.timesonline.co.uk
