The BBC and the government should find a way to save free TV licences for all over-75s, a committee of MPs has said. The MPs said he failed to seek the formal agreement of the BBC Executive Board before recommending to the BBC Trust the deal struck with the government, and that the BBC should have communicated earlier that it would not be able to fund all the free licences from 2020. - www.bbc.co.uk

BBC warned over TV licences as younger viewers flock to Netflix

MPs have warned about the increasingly dire state of the BBC's finances as competition from Netflix pushes up the cost of making programmes, and called on the government to find a way of ensuring all over-75s continue to receive a free TV licence. The corporation argues that the 745m annual cost of maintaining the status quo would have taken up a fifth of its budget, equal to the total amount it spends on all of BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC Four, the BBC News channel, CBBC and CBeebies. - www.theguardian.com

The era of binge-watching TV shows could be coming to an end

While releasing shows episode by episode, week by week, is quite normal for traditional TV channels, it's not what we've come to expect from streaming services - and particularly from Netflix, where whole seasons of popular shows are dropped on the platform at once for viewers to inhale in one sitting. Advertisement 44 of the best Netflix series to binge watch right now Mihir Haria-Shah, head of broadcast at Total Media, predicts that as more streaming services become available, offering consumers more choice, they will have to work harder to keep subscribers interested. - www.wired.co.uk

8K FAQ: Our top questions about 8K answered by Samsung

Recently we were invited to the Samsung QA Labs in New Jersey, to get a closer look at its new Q950R 8K QLED TV and get an in-depth explanation of how exactly how it uses an AI-based quantum processor to upscale content to 8K. The visit, while certainly educational, raised a number of questions about how many people actually want to buy 8K TVs. So, in the midst of metaphorically dissecting their TVs to help us understand what makes them tick, Samsung's engineers also gave us the rundown on why they believe the TV market is ready for an 8K explosion and how 8K might fit together with other new screen technology. Panasonic first built an 8K TV back in 2012, and recently joined the 8K Association with Samsung to set guidelines for 8K hardware and content so it's safe to say it will be hopping back into the 8K fray soon. - www.techradar.com
