The laughable plan to sell off Channel 4 is over
Dorries has said this week that by not privatising Channel 4, the Treasury has lost out on 2bn. In reality, if the channel was to have kept any of its vital public service remit, the money gained would have been much less, while Channel 4's own calculations pointed to a 3bn loss over 10 years and a huge blow to independent television production companies, which produce the channel's output. Critics should look at all those demands laid on Channel 4 and then wonder how it has achieved so many of them over time while costing the nation nothing. - www.theguardian.com

UK government drops plans to privatise Channel 4
The UK government has abandoned its plans to privatise commercially funded pubcaster Channel 4. Channel 4 has been owned by the UK government since its launch in 1982, but ministers argued that the rise of streaming services has changed the landscape to such an extent that the broadcaster may be better placed in private ownership. - tbivision.com

The golden age of the streaming wars has ended
From 1999, with the premiere of The Sopranos, to somewhere in the mid-2010s, there was a Golden Age of TV. Then the streaming wars came, and let's be real it was a blast. The streaming wars opened up more avenues of distribution, which meant more action shows with women as the leads, comedies that didn't need a white dude or a big-time comedian to anchor them, and dramas with a happy ending and a title character that was queer. - www.theverge.com

Funding cuts mean BBC can't compete with Netflix, says watchdog
The BBC is struggling to compete with Netflix because it cannot afford the salaries of tech workers required to create online services, according to the UK's public spending watchdog. While Netflix is budgeting 1.7bn a year on the technology that underpins its global streaming platform, the BBC's spending on digital product development has declined to 98m. The report by the National Audit Office describes a BBC that has a clear vision of how it wants to shift to a digital-first future - but often lacks the money required for this transformation and is hamstrung by needing to maintain its existing television and radio channels. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comFriday 09 December 2022, PM

ITV Hub offered access to live TV, news and programming across ITV's channels, including ITV1, ITV2, ITVBe, ITV3, ITV4 and CITV. ITVX consists of more original content, including a number of dramas launching from day one and more arriving over the weeks that follow. If ITV delivers on its promises, ITVX should bring all the benefits of ITV Hub, along with some exciting original content, a sleek new interface and access to BritBox in the case of Premium subscribers - albeit at a slightly higher cost if you do decide to go ad-free. - www.trustedreviews.com
