More Bodyguards and Love Islands needed as UK viewers desert TV

The scale of the challenge UK broadcasters face in the streaming era has been thrown into stark relief by a new report, which estimates that 34 extra series of the BBC hit Bodyguard - or 14 more Love Islands - would have needed to air last year to make up for the drop in traditional TV viewing as audiences flock to rivals including Netflix, Amazon and YouTube. The report, by the media regulator Ofcom, highlights the huge growth in popularity of streaming services in the UK. The number of subscribers to the three most popular - Netflix, Amazon and Sky's Now TV - leapt by almost a quarter last year to 19.1m. Nearly half of UK homes now have a subscription streaming service, a significant increase on the 39 that did in 2017, with many households paying for two or more. - www.theguardian.com

From Trinny and Susannah to Donald Trump, reality TV has ushered in an age of spite

Ps on the Digital, Culture, Media and sport select committee are asking how reality TV became so spiteful that two Love Island contestants, and one participant of the cancelled Jeremy Kyle Show, are dead. Of course it is too late to mourn the death of courtesy – and empathy – in public discourse; this is, in every sense, a post-mortem. Those same MPs may walk a gauntlet of screams as they go to work. Disagreement without rancour has become archaic, even semi-mythical. The MPs heard a submission called Belligerent Broadcasting from the academics Angela Smith and Michael Higgins (who I name to be polite). They named Trinny Woodhall and Susannah Constantine, two semi-parodic Sloane Rangers who... - www.telegraph.co.uk

Ofcom: BritBox materiality assessment Relationship between BritBox and the BBC’s Public Service activities

The BBC has proposed to change BBC iPlayer from a service where programmes are available to ‘catch-up’ for 30 days after broadcast, to one where programmes are available for 12 months as standard, with some available for longer. As required by the BBC Charter and Agreement, we are carrying out a competition assessment, under which we: look at the public value provided by the BBC’s proposals, analyse the way in which they impact on competition, and consider whether that public value justifies any adverse impacts that we identify. This document sets out our analysis and provisional conclusions. We are consulting on our conclusions for four weeks and expect to publish our final conclusions by August 2019. - www.ofcom.org.uk
