Tony Hall: regulate video streaming services or risk 'killing off' UK content
The BBC's director general, Tony Hall, will call this week for video streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon to be regulated to the same extent as the UK's traditional broadcasters - or else risk killing off distinctive British content. Hall will use the speech to warn that young British audiences now spend almost as much time watching Netflix - which only launched its UK streaming service in 2012 - as watching BBC television and iPlayer combined. - www.theguardian.com

Building A Public Service Internet
Our model of a Public Service Internet is centred on four key themes, all of which relate to the BBC's core principles but are also relevant to other public service organisations, including public service broadcasters as they move online. The Public Service Internet activity provides a multidisciplinary and collaborative platform for research and development to address emerging challenges, explore new opportunities and alternatives, and ultimately, re-imagine the internet to deliver new forms of public of value. - www.bbc.co.ukwww.bbc.co.ukFriday 10 August 2018, PM

Executive summary 1.1 When we established our framework for licensing local TV in 2012, we said that we would advertise licences for local TV services in all of the locations in which the successful applicant for the local multiplex licence, Comux, had committed to building its transmission infrastructure. As noted above, it remains open to prospective local TV providers with the support of Comux to ask Ofcom to advertise a licence for a specific location 3.14 With regard to SBC's comments on the arrangement of the multiplex itself, Ofcom consulted upon the local TV multiplex model before commencing the licensing of local TV. 4 Statement Local TV licensing - Decision not to advertise or re-advertise certain local TV licences We concluded in our original local TV policy statement that we would advertise a single multiplex licence for local TV.2 Ofcom subsequently invited applications for the local multiplex licence in a competitive process, and assessed applicant's proposals against the statutory criteria and Ofcom's general duties. - www.ofcom.org.uk

Virgin Media could lose ITV programmes in long-running dispute
Virgin Media's 4 million pay-TV customers face losing hit ITV shows including Coronation Street and Love Island as a longstanding dispute with the broadcaster comes to a head. ITV is understood to have written to Virgin Media warning that it could remove its channels as soon as this weekend if an agreement cannot be reached. Virgin Media and ITV have been in protracted and at times tense talks over a range of issues including the carriage of ITV, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, video-on-demand rights and guarantees of the prominence of its programming, as cable viewers increasingly watch programmes on demand from Netflix, Amazon and broadcasters' own streaming services. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comThursday 26 July 2018, AM

Netflix and Amazon become more popular than pay-TV services
Britain's growing appetite for services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime has seen the number of subscribers to streaming services overtake those signed up to pay-TV providers such as Sky, BT and Virgin Media for the first time. Within this, subscription on-demand revenues - mainly viewers paying for Netflix and Amazon - leapt by 38 to almost 900m. Growth has been explosive in 2012, the year Netflix launched in the UK, subscription on-demand revenues were just 52m. While Netflix and Amazon spend more than 10bn annually on content, with a significant proportion on original content such as Stranger Things, the Ofcom report found that spending by the UK's main free-to-air channels on homegrown shows hit a 20-year low the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 spent 2.5bn on UK-made shows last year, a 28 fall on the peak of 3.4bn in 2004. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comSaturday 14 July 2018, AM

Paramount Network UK – is a line-up of axed shows and standard definition movies really what 2018's audience is looking
A new free to air channel from one of the world's largest names in entertainment should be something to get get excited about, but the UK launch of the Paramount Network is sadly a pretty damp squib. Available to Freeview, YouView and Sky viewers, the channel arrived earlier this week with a measly standard definition-only version and a schedule littered with shows that have already been axed or ended. - www.seenit.co.uk
