Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the growing power of transnational media corporations in an increasingly globalized environment for distribution of television content, and on the effects of mergers and acquisitions involving local and independent television production companies, this book examines how current and recent re-structurings in ownership across the television industry reflect changing business models, how they affect creativity and diversity of television output, and to what extent they call for new approaches to regulation and policy. Based on a major study of the UK production sector as a case study, it offers a unique analysis of wider transformations in ownership affecting the television production industry worldwide and of their economic, socio-cultural and policy implications.

Download or read book Producing British Television Drama written by Ruth McElroy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a compelling case for a paradigmatic shift in the analysis of television drama production that recentres questions of power, control and sustainability. Television drama production has become an increasingly lucrative global export business as drama as a form enjoys increased prestige. However, this book argues that the growing emphasis on international markets and global players such as Netflix and Amazon Prime neglects the realities of commissioning and making television drama in specific national and regional contexts. Drawing on extensive empirical research, Producing British Television Drama demonstrates the centrality of public service broadcasters in serving audiences and sustaining the commercial independent sector in a digital age. It attends closely to three elements—the role of place in the production of content; the experiences of those working in the sector; and the interventions from cultural intermediaries in articulating and ascribing value to television drama. With chapters examining the evolution of British TV drama, as well as what might be in store in its future, this book offers invaluable insights into the UK as a major supplier of and market for television drama.

Download or read book Independent Television in Britain written by Bernard Sendall and published by Springer. This book was released on 1982-10-14 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After thirty years of broadcasting in Britain under a public monopoly, the Television Act of 1954 introduced a controversial new force called Independent Television (ITV) which was a plural structure combining private enterprise and public control. Its income came from advertising. This volume, the first of three recording the history of Independent Television, describes the campaign to end the BBC's monopoly in television and tells of the vicissitudes of the early years of ITV, how it survived to become an accepted part of the fabric of British life. The book draws on much previously unpublished information to reveal the inside story of the problems which were encountered and the people principally involved in them. It tells how ITV's programmes captured a major share of the television audience and also how its rapid growth and the way the network was conducted led to a divergence from some of the ideals of its founding fathers. Whilst enjoying great popularity with the audience in general, ITV encountered criticism among people concerned about both 'excessive' profits and the social impact of the medium. The book sets the record straight on a number of questions on which judgements have been based more often on legend than on fact. The story ends on the eve of the Pilkington Report of 1962, which was to advocate 'organic change' in the whole system of Independent Television. The second volume will contain a detailed review of this report, describe the passage of the second Television Act of 1963 and go on to tell what happened to ITV after the arrival of Lord Hill of Luton, the former radio doctor and Postmaster-General, as Chairman of the ITA in the summer of 1963.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How television is to be financed in the last years of this century is a question of major concern to governments, broadcasters and the private sector. The Economics of Television is a detailed examination of the real costs of television production in the United Kingdom and a critical analysis of those political and economic factors that impinge upon broadcasting's future. The book addresses three equally pertinent questions. First, what is the nature of the television market? Second, what is happening to broadcasting costs and why? Third, what is the United Kingdom's role in the internationalization of television and in the international trade of television programmes? The authors review the recent Peacock Committee's Report and its implications for licence fee and advertising revenues, the production costs of television, the internationalization of the television programme market and the overall financing of broadcasting. The broadcasting environment is rapidly changing under the influence of new distribution technologies (such as satellites) and new ideologies (such as the challenge of the private sector to public service authority). Given these new influences, the authors' discussion highlights the imperfectly competitive character of the broadcasting market, the outstanding cheapness of terrestrial broadcasting and the particular economic characteristics of television programmes and other information commodities. The Economics of Television is an essential guide to the finance of television and will be required reading for anyone concerned with the future of broadcasting.
